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 […]

Whenever I have a lot to accomplish during the day, I make a list and schedule ahead of time. Planning my whole day has worked for me when it comes to time management. This weekend I have a lot of catching up to do…serious catching up on my studies. The month of September was filled […]
First, thank you for all the get well wishes from the last post. My eyes are doing much better. It just a matter of time before my cornea heals completely. My nephew Jonah turned 2 weeks old yesterday. He makes a lot of facial expressions already and I try to capture it each time I […]
The ugly part of this post is towards the end. But first, lets talk about pretty and delicious desserts. During my POM dinner party, I made some treats that I gave away with my party guests goodie bags. I was inspired by Heather’s Maple Nut Oaties and adapted these from her original recipe. POM, Chocolate […]
A few years ago, I thought there was only one kind of peanut butter. The only kind I knew was the one sold at regular supermarket, you know, just plain peanut butter. Who knew there were so many kinds of nut butters? So many flavors? I think there’s a butter for every nut. If there’s […]
After a 5 mile run this morning, I did some studying and got ready for an appointment at 1pm. I had to make a quick and healthy lunch with whatever I already had in the refrigerator. I didn’t have time to cook anything. Egg salad with hummus. 2 boiled eggs 1-2 tablespoon hummus (I […]
enjoying the warm weather at the beach. We are exploring different toddler friendly beaches in the area eating a ton of peaches. I buy a full tray and we eat them throughout the week. I also made my favorite fruit crisp recipe with cut up fresh peaches and added shredded coconut with the oats […]
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 […]
I have spent the last two weekends traveling. Which means, I did a lot of laundry and packing and unpacking in between trips. It also means, my workout and my healthy food choices have been inconsistent. I try to pack as much healthy snacks with me while I am away from home and make conscious […]
