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 would like to document the days leading up to Christmas. Ideally it will be some sort of a daily journal and it will be called my December Daily (#leasdecemberdaily on Instagram) A picture a day, a quote a day, whatever I fancy…the goal is to document something everyday for the whole month of December. […]
On this day of love, I wanted to share with you one of the most romantic days in my life, the day the husband and I got engaged!! ************************************************************ Chris surprises me often with sweet gestures and small gifts, so I wasn’t shocked when he made a date for a romantic dinner that overlooked the […]
I’ve got seven weeks of wearing my wardrobe capsule and it’s clear which items are my favorite and will be carried over to the next capsule. I find myself gravitating towards wearing more dresses because they are so quick and easy to wear but I didn’t include a lot in this capsule, the 4-5 that […]
I am a having a great time baking and cooking. I’ve eaten a lot of traditional and also new (to me) foods. I have enjoyed eating and spending time with my family and friends the last few days. I survived the 3 meals during Thanksgiving Day. I didn’t take a lot of pictures as I […]
I am back home from my trip to San Francisco for a friends wedding. I loved everything about the weekend. The wedding was beautiful and emotional. We had a blast at the reception. Everyone was in a celebratory mood and it was great to hangout with my high school friends all over again. Most of […]
I was excited to be outdoors again today. It has been a chilly week and I’ve been a hermit. I get cold easily so when Chris said he was feeling cold (he usually runs hot), you can bet that I was freezing. Ok, not really freezing. That’s just the drama queen coming out of me. […]
Last Saturday, I attended the “Be Fit and Pain Free in 2011” event hosted by Kathy Kaehler and sponsored by Salonpas Pain Relief Patches. SALONPAS is a pain patch with NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) medication you can put on your body for relief. So instead of taking an aspirin or ibuprofen, you can just put a […]
