We went on a mini road trip down south to Carlsbad to hangout at the flower fields. Everything seems to be in bloom right now, the fields on the side of the freeways were all filled with yellow flowers, so the drive along the coast was pretty colorful. Last time we visited the flower […]
I’m travelling at the end of the week to Northern California with my sisters, San Francisco to be exact. I am inspired to post these travel pictures from 2011, to dust them off from my computer and finally post them on the blog. My youngest sister Hazel hasn’t visited Big Sur yet, but I’m encouraging […]
We took a family road trip last week, we drove seven hours north and spent the weekend at one of my favorite coastal town, Monterey, CA. The hubby and I have made a trip there almost every year (except for the year the baby was born), and it was great to share it with […]
The next stop during our fun road trip along the scenic California coast was Big Sur. I’ve heard so many great things about Big Sur, about the great views one will find and the active community that lives in this coastal town. I’ve also read about Big Sur from other blogs that I follow. Our […]

I feel so productive when I make dinner in a slow cooker. It feels good knowing dinner is cooking itself. I’m working towards making at least a few crock pot meals several times a month, to include it in my Sunday meal prep. Lately though, I’ve been preparing the ingredients right before bed and letting […]
I am going to split my bridal shower recaps because there are so many things I want to remember during these special celebrations leading up to the wedding. They are going to be very detailed recap, they are for me and to preserve each precious memory so I can look back down the road and not […]
– We had back-to-back-to-back pool parties this past holiday weekend. It was great to invite our families and friends, and to spend time with them all day at the pool. We love having the kids over and summer is a great time in between the holiday season, for us to get together including our […]
Here is what I prepped on Sunday. Both my husband and I work full time and often, we work long hours, so every prep I can do on the weekends helps tremendously during the week. roasted cauliflower rice boiled eggs for snacking – I usually store this in my office fridge cut up fruits […]
I am trying to clean out our pantry and incorporating at least one pantry item when I’m doing menu planning for the week. I bought these canned pink salmon from Costco because I saw a few salmon cakes recipes (Paleo & Whole 30) that I wanted to try. Well, I tried one recipe, the one […]
We are enjoying the last days of summer by firing up the grill for dinner. A relaxing and great start to the holiday weekend. I love this plate. It reminds me of time spent in paradise. My task was easy. I prepped the vegetables. I coated them with garlic oil, salt, pepper, liquid smoke and […]
It was a scorcher today and I wished I could have eaten ice cream for all my meals, but alas, I need nutrition so ice cream will have to wait, maybe for dessert later. Lets get straight to it…these are my eats for today. I had a soupy oat bowl today, I was a little […]
