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 […]

Here’s what we have been up to lately….. We had a brunch gathering on New Year’s Day at my sister’s house. We ate and chatted while watching the Rose Parade on TV. Which one was our favorite float?….DISNEY!! (of course). I loved seeing the characters walking along side the children, and the fireworks […]
Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl watching Planet Earth Live was really fun. It was my first time going to the venue and I’m glad I finally went and even better, went to a Planet Earth Live event. We saw spectacular footage from the BBC television series Planet Earth, first time high-def is being shown […]
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes This book is about Will and Louisa. What Will doesn’t know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they’re going to change the other for all time. I loved this book. I made a […]
It’s so great when I find a salad combination that I like so much because it makes grocery shopping so much easier, especially when a salad can satisfy me for lunch. I am on week three on having this salad in our weekly menu and most likely I will be eating this for the rest […]
Hello 2017! I’m excited for what this year is in store for us. The holidays were wonderful and filled with lots of family time. We will be keeping our Christmas decor up until the last day when the Christmas tree has to be picked-up by the trash company. Putting the decorations away always makes me […]
One of my favorite things in the summer are all the seasonal food found in the farmers market. In the summer, we do a lot of overnight stays and road trips around Southern California. Whenever we are out of town on the weekends, I try to search for info on the local farmer’s market. […]
Weekends are for waking up late and then making almond flour waffles to start out your day. Weekends are for being at the pool all day. Weekends are for spending time with my niece and being surrounded by her cuteness all day. Weekends are for enjoying ice cream. Weekends are for long and leisurely runs […]
