We had plenty of rain this past weekend so I took advantage of us being forced indoors to do some baking. I also had plenty of babysitters since my mom and brothers stayed over, so I went thru my list of recipes to make and picked one that looked good at the moment. I […]
I’m posting these delicious churro cupcakes today to help celebrate Cinco De Mayo tomorrow (or to celebrate all week). I made mini versions of these cupcakes and brought them to work a few years ago and they were gobbled up. I originally made these when we hosted a dinner party for our 1st year wedding […]
This year was my first year hosting Friendsgiving party and also Thanksgiving party at my house. I love gathering my friends and family and have a night in and celebrate with food. I love hosting parties for many different reasons, but one of the reasons is the process of creating a dinner menu. I like […]
For the last two years, I’ve done a bake sale during fall season to raise funds for charity. We fundraise and do the 5K walk every October. As part of my contribution to my team, I like to do a bake sale so I can raise money and entice family and friends to donate to a […]
One of the easiest thing for me to make for breakfast is oatmeal. It’s even easier when it’s prepared ahead of time. I try to make a few dishes on Sundays, I call it my Sunday-prep-time, for us to eat throughout the week. Now that the temps are heating up around here, it is best […]

My weekend in a nutshell…..fitness, family and fun. Fitness –> The clouds gave us some relief this weekend from the heat wave. It was a great time to go hiking by the beach. We hung out at Crystal Cove State Park in Orange County for some fitness, fun and girls quality time. P.S. I have […]
What a whirlwind of a week it has been. It was busy, busy with back to back events. It was so much fun, it went by so fast but I wouldn’t have it any other way. In a week, I had my bridal shower, celebrated my 30th birthday, ran a 10K for She Runs L.A. and […]
In the spirit of celebrating Halloween week, I wanted to celebrate the recent opening of my online store with Open Sky with a sale. One of the reasons I started my blog was because I wanted to share with my friends and family ways to live a healthy lifestyle. I wanted to share the recipes […]
This past weekend, we drove ourselves to Hollywood to spend one hot summer amongst the tourist. We had matinee tickets to watch the Cirque Du Soleil show, Iris. It is currently playing at Dolby Theatre (formerly knows as Kodak Theatre). We had great seats in the Orchestra section. No pictures were allowed but I was […]
Around here….. I wrote my 550th post. Whoa, who would have thought I would still be blogging after 5 years. Beautiful flowers are in bloom around our house. I have done zero gardening this year, so I’m quiet surprise our plants haven’t died and even more surprise that they are blooming. We are enjoying […]
I’m walking on sunshine….. Today, I was reminded how great it is to live in Southern California. It was clear, sunny and just right 🙂 I left my house with a great smile and say ahhhhh, sunshine. I ran errands during lunch, it was an excuse to soak up the sun while I can. The […]
“What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more” – Dr. Seuss I have kept that quote in my head this holiday season. I normally make a Christmas wishlist, a list I make in my head. It helps me answer the questions I get from […]
First, thank you for all the get well wishes from the last post. My eyes are doing much better. It just a matter of time before my cornea heals completely. My nephew Jonah turned 2 weeks old yesterday. He makes a lot of facial expressions already and I try to capture it each time I […]
