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 […]

I had a lovely run at the park this morning. I am trying to run consistently so I can get back my running mojo. I seem to lose running steam whenever I don’t do it consistently. I have been spending time at the gym or hiking this past summer and Fall season seems to be […]
This past weekend, I got to spend the afternoon with my girlfriends. Under the hot sun, we sipped on lemonade and other refreshing beverages. We were celebrating my friend Stefanie’s baby shower. I ate a delicious cupcake. or two. It was hard to stop, especially when your table was next to the tower of cupcakes. […]
A few weeks ago I participated in Rebecca’s bake sale to raise money for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. I donated 2 jars of customizable granola for the sale. The 1st & 2nd highest bids won the granola. I am a coconut lover but I understand not everyone is fond of coconut like me. So […]
I’ve made two batches of homemade ice pops in the last month and I’ve found many more flavors I would like to try throughout the summer. So far, the ones I’ve made are pretty healthy….healthy enough that I’m fine with my toddler eating it for breakfast. I want to make bigger batches of the […]
This week: – we played with chalk after dinner and played outdoor – I bought my first bunch of peonies for the season. I can only get these beautiful flowers around 4-6 weeks in the summer. – I went on a Sunday hike with friends and had a great view of the […]
New Year, new reading goals for me! 2017 was the first year that I really, really kept my intention of making time to read on a daily basis. As a result, I read 40 books in 2017!! Reading kept me sane, reading kept my work related stress under control, reading gave me alone time and […]
Not technically Wordless Wednesday. I gotta say something, always 🙂 These are pictures from the island of Boracay in the Philippines. The island is very small, I think it’s only a few miles wide. One of the best beaches I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to Mexico and Caribbean beaches. When I went for a […]
