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 recently started wearing a fitbit flex, it’s a bracelet that tracks your activity for the day. I am tracking my steps, and since I work a desk job, my daily goal is 9,000 steps (I changed it from the factory setting of 10,000 steps). It’s achievable but I have to actively find ways to […]
Hi friends, Just want to pop in the good ole blog to say hello. Chris and I are having a great time in the Philippines. We are on Day #13 of our honeymoon, sadly it is our last week of travel. We are currently on our 4th and last island. Today, we walked the 4km […]
One of my favorite things during the holidays are the time spent with friends and family. I love that everyone is in a good and jolly mood, everyone has a grateful heart and thankful attitude. The vibe is light and fun. I just love this time of the year because it brings people together. I […]
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 […]
I’ve only been on this motherhood journey for a year and a half, but I am here 18 months after my first baby with many lessons learned and many thoughts that I would like to organize in a series of posts. These are thoughts that run through my head while doing dishes, while waiting in […]
If you are looking for quick summer dessert for the holiday weekend ahead, these smores pretzel bites would be a good bet. We didn’t get a chance to do a bonfire this summer and my fantasy of sitting around the fire and making smores went out the window. Honestly, it was too hot this summer […]
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 […]
