Because there are no words to describe the beauty of this place, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Pearl Farm was the most secluded island we stayed in during our honeymoon. It felt like a private beach playground. Watching the sunrise. Happy Friday!!
I’ve been thinking about this lately… Do I love traveling so I can take fun pictures? a LOT of pictures? Do I love traveling so I can try different food? Do I love traveling to learn more about myself and at the same time learn about new cultures? Yes, yes, yes to all of the […]
Today is the last full day remaining in our travels. Chris and I had the greatest time traveling all over the Philippines in the last 2.5 weeks. We tried exotic foods and other foods we don’t normally eat at home. I did activities outside my comfort zone and did it all without regrets. It was […]

Last night I drove 80 miles south to have dinner with my college friends and to celebrate my friend Gloria’s birthday. Everyone is scattered and living all over Southern California, so the good half way point for everyone was the PF Chang’s restaurant in Carlsbad. (I was just there shopping last week). The drive wasn’t […]
My family celebrates a few traditions that stem from the Chinese culture, however Chinese New Year is not of them. We celebrated the New Year at midnight on December 31st but few of our friends celebrated their New Year today. Today is the Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year and it is the year […]
Since we have a long drive ahead of us to get to the cabin this weekend, I wanted to make these nut bars so we have healthy and filling snacks while in the car or during our long days at the lake. These are hearty bars that are filling and tasty. I made them this […]
Summer. is. over. (not the weather, but the activities) We had our families over for a pool and barbeque party. My niece Jazzy is a water baby. She has been known to stay in the pool until 8pm. This little lady loves swimming. The weather was blazing hot, so either you had to be in […]
It’s Thanksgiving week and the tis’ (the beginning of) the season for celebrations with family, social gatherings and plenty of food. Probably everyone is thinking of all the delicious food they will be eating on Thursday for Thanksgiving. I love to indulge and enjoy every traditional food during the holidays, but when it is a […]
Here’s what I typically wear on a weekend, when I’m spending the day running around and hanging out with my toddler. We go to museums, have picnics, take naps, go to parks and then eat our weekly burger fix or frozen yogurt. Later in the evening, we went to dinner with my parents and […]

We went to both Knott’s Scary Farm and Universal Studios Horror Nights. Unfortunately the only pictures that survived are from […]
