I do a lot of thinking in my car during my commute to work. I thought one day that I need to intentionally seek out adventures. I need to plan ahead, need to plan fun trips and need to take some time off. I am ready to take on new adventures. Actually, I’ve been […]
This past weekend, we headed to the beautiful Kern River area and set up tent at a campsite right next to the water. We went water rafting. We got thrown off our raft after we hit a rock and went down this rapid on my back. Ouch! It wouldn’t be camping without making any smores. […]
One of the main reasons that I started this blog was to have an online journal that I can look back years from now and be reminded of the things I did, foods I ate and places I went. I’ve always enjoyed reading other blog posts that were similar to a journal entry. I enjoy […]
Anytime there is a window of time that we can travel, we jump on the opportunity to do it. Three day holiday weekend coming up? Why not go on a road trip. We headed away from Orange County and drove north along the Pacific Coast highway. First stop on the road trip is the Danish […]
We started our trip to Mammoth before the crack of dawn this year. Chris and I had a 4am wake up call. Our friends met us at our house and we left by 6am. We bypassed L.A.’s morning gridlock and drove thru Mojave a few hours later. We passed by the airplane graveyard. I thought […]

We have arrived at our road trip destination. Viva Las Vegas!! I am the designated driver for this trip so no pictures during the drive, but I did take a snapshot during a quick stop. Pretty much from L.A. to Las Vegas, it is 5 hours of driving with this scenery. Mountains and deserts. Last […]
It was raining all night last night and all day today. It was really cozy inside the house and the perfect day for baking 🙂 I was planning to eat breakfast burrito today but since I woke up with rain outside, I did a switcheroo and ate my usual breakfast lately, protein oatmeal with melted peanut […]
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 […]
It has been a tough week. We are dealing with health issues concerning my mom. She is currently in the hospital right now, recovering and going thru a lot of test. She is in good hands though, she has great doctors and specialists who have been taken care of her and we are praying that […]
With my love for all things coconut, I have to admit that using coconut flour has been a hit or miss for me. I’m trying to start collecting “hit” recipes. I have a bag of coconut flour in my pantry that I was so excited to use when I first purchased it. I once made a mistake […]
As I write this post, I have “Somewhere over the Rainbow” by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole playing in the background. It brings me back to the exact moment as I walked down the aisle beach. Since Chris and I already had our first look and our moment together before our walk down the aisle, we were […]
Operation tropical therapy has begun. Our vacation and wedding celebration is finally here, we leave for Mexico tomorrow morning. I’m starting to get that vacation itch, so close. Yesterday, Chris and I enjoyed our day out and about picking up some items for the wedding. It was a beautiful day in SoCal, but even more […]
I am on a mission to hang things on our walls. Besides printing pictures, I have been collecting print arts that I’ve found online these past few months. I am inspired to build a gallery wall, and have been pinning ideas on how I want it to be arranged. These are the print arts that […]
