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 […]
(this is a test post from my phone. I apologize for any errors in the format) We drove 5 hours away from home and found ourselves in the middle of this. Where the snow meets water. Where I dug out my winter clothes, in the middle of summer, to pack for this trip. I’m blogging […]
What a whirlwind of a week it has been. It was busy, busy with back to back events. It was so much fun, it went by so fast but I wouldn’t have it any other way. In a week, I had my bridal shower, celebrated my 30th birthday, ran a 10K for She Runs L.A. and […]
This morning, the fiance and I left town for an overnight weekend getaway to celebrate Valentine’s Day weekend 🙂 This was the view I enjoyed while the fiance drove us to our destination. The coastal beaches were busy. We drove for an hour and half and just arrived here. Beautiful sunshine and warm breeze greeted […]
600 miles and 24 hours later, I am home sweet home. I don’t know when I’ve felt more tired, driving solo for 4 hours or the morning after a long race? 4 hours is the longest time I have ever been driven straight and I did it twice in the last 24 hours. I did the […]
This past weekend, the fiance and I drove to San Diego to jump start the holiday season. We had a Thanksgiving party with my college friends. Let the holiday feasting begin. It rained all weekend in San Diego, but the skies did clear up around Sunday afternoon. On Sunday, we had lunch at Tender Greens […]

After resting all day, I am feeling a little better tonight. I think I drank gallons of water, probably ate a whole bag of clementines and drank Emergen-C every hour. I’ll do what it takes to get better. I am determined. I ate soup all day but the most exciting thing I ate was my […]
I feel like a year’s worth of travel all happened in one month. Chris and I had a moment today where we reflected on all the things that has happened to us in the last month. We are so grateful for all the blessings that have come our way. We both love to travel and […]
My goal is to use Sundays as my food prep time for the week ahead (when my kiddo is napping). I am going to plan ahead our dinner menu for the week and do grocery shopping once on the weekend. Here’s what I prep/cooked this past Sunday. Roasted veggies x 2 pans Cooked Eggplant […]
I had a wonderful birthday celebration yesterday. Thank you to everyone who greeted me and sent birthday wishes my way 🙂 Normally, I would plan to travel around my birthday, but with the wedding and our trip to Mexico being a month away, we decided to stay local. It was low key, relaxing and just […]
I’m not ready to say goodbye to summer yet. I feel like she is going away soon. But I hope she stays for a few more weeks. I am trying to hold on to summer but I think everyone is else is ready to move on. We had another scorching weekend. During our Disney Sunday […]
This post is a little bit of everything. A little bit of me, a little bit of clothes and fashion and a little bit of food. Today (a rainy day), I ran the Knott’s Berry Farm 10K Coaster Run with my friends. We had a fun run and that’s all we could ask for. I’m […]
It has been a lovely Saturday so far. I have been busy catching up with school work and cleaning up my room. I returned from my trip last weekend and walked in to a room that looked like a tornado ran over it. I ate treats for breakfast this morning. I love that I wake […]
celebrating my son’s 3rd birthday party at the park. My guy was running around with his friends and enjoying all the attention and loving the school bus themed cake making almond joy snack bites, made with dates, cocoa, coconut and chocolate chip. I didn’t measure the ingredients, so I don’t have a recipe to […]
