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 […]

Greek yogurt is a tasty and popular food at my house. Besides being tasty and creamy, even when fat-free, Greek yogurt is higher in protein than regular yogurt. It is full of calcium and often low in calories and fat. I like Chobani yogurts because they offer a variety of flavors and they taste great. The […]
I hope you are having a good weekend. Mine has been fun with all sorts of outdoor activities (my forehead is a little darker that it was last week). It is very windy right now too, the Santa Ana winds are blowing full force. I don’t mind the wind, I’m just glad there are no […]
Even though we had a rainy St. Patrick’s Day weekend, I know that Spring is on its way. Look what’s blooming now in my garden. Even though I have neglected my garden recently, I haven’t had time to do some weeding and I go for days without watering the flowers because of my busy schedule, […]
I don’t want summer to end yet. I still want to spend time at the beach or have a bonfire…but this week it feels like Fall is coming on too fast. I woke up at 6am and today it was completely dark. Fall is here. I usually wear my running shorts for my morning runs. […]
For the last two years, I’ve done a bake sale during fall season to raise funds for charity. We fundraise and do the 5K walk every October. As part of my contribution to my team, I like to do a bake sale so I can raise money and entice family and friends to donate to a […]
starting a new gallery wall in our living room. There was a set of sconce on this wall, and had to remove it because some of the glass décor broke after H was jumping on the couch. After that, we had to toddler proof the house from floor to ceiling harvesting ripe tomatoes from […]
This week feels like a normal week for me, as normal as it can be with being only 23 days away before we leave for Mexico. Last week when we celebrated back to back celebrations, I lost track of my days and I lost count of desserts plate I’ve enjoyed. So this past Sunday, I […]
We put the lights up on our tree the night after we brought our tree home. If I really want to, I can finish the tree decorating in one night, but I’ve really enjoyed taking my time and having Hawke be a part of it. I know he won’t remember any of these, but I […]
