The week has just started but I feel like I’m getting ready for the weekend again. I have the next 2 days off from work to go on a fun road trip 🙂 Well, it will be fun once we get to our destination. During my gym session this morning, I actually noticed the improvement […]
My sister Janell baked some tasty cupcakes this week and she sent some my way. She knows a few things about cupcakes, she used to work at Frosted Cupcakery in Belmont Shore. It’s so nice to have another baker in the family 🙂 It feels great to come home and have baked treats waiting […]
This weekend we celebrated my niece’s 3rd birthday. My niece Jazaleia (Jazzy for short) is my only niece and the only grandchild. She is the cutest and most adorable little girl and all her Aunties spoils her with attention. I love spending time with her. She’s at that age where you can have a […]
I have been craving bananas. I find them everywhere I go, mini bananas the length of your fingers, regular bananas, frozen bananas and banana bread. We have a resident baker at my work. My co-worker likes to bake and she brings plenty of treats for us to eat at work. One of her recent creation was banana […]
I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and make something I’ve never made before. I usually go for recipes that have pictures, so I know what the finish product is suppose to look like, something to compare to. But heck I figured, I know what corn bread and corn muffins look like, no […]

I have been lacking sleep the last few days. My body is just out of whack, it’s obvious and I can totally feel it. Last Thursday night I stayed up until 2am putting finishing touches on the surprise montage I was going to show in Vegas. While in Vegas, both Friday and Saturday nights were spent […]
With summer in full swing, we often have friends and family over at our house to swim every weekend. I’m always looking for quick snacks and dips I can serve to a hungry crowd and something that will be appetizing after being in the hot sun in the afternoon. The original recipe that I […]
The sun has decided to come out from hiding. We’ve had a rainy week here in SoCal, but today was great. Sunny and clear. Which means, I abandoned the treadmill today and ventured outdoors to go to the park for a 4 mile run. I was excited to get out and listen to new Jillian […]
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I am up early today to run at the beach. Oh yes, I am running under the sun, bright and early today at a 10K (hmmm, that rhymes). Today’s forecast calls for mid 70s. This is my second year running at the Redondo Beach Super Bowl Sunday 10K. I love the […]
This past summer (and this year in general) has been the best of times. Having returned from a month long travel, both for our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and for our honeymoon, island hopping in the Philippines…..I wanted to talk (and put into writing) about why I love to travel and why I always […]
I feel like a year’s worth of travel all happened in one month. Chris and I had a moment today where we reflected on all the things that has happened to us in the last month. We are so grateful for all the blessings that have come our way. We both love to travel and […]
Here’s what we have been up to lately….. We try to spend a few hours over the weekend to visit my sister, brothers and nephew. We are all grieving my mom’s death differently but for me, spending time with family as much as I can feels good. My mom used to live with my sister, […]
My workout this morning was a challenging one. My muscles have been missing the muscle burn. For the last few weeks, I have been enjoying more cardio type of workouts….running, hiking and indoor gym workouts. I wanted to try something new to get back into strength training and this DVD is new to me. I’ve […]
