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. […]
Happy Thanksgiving week. I’m excited to spend time with family and friends as we celebrate Thanksgiving day on Thursday. I’m lucky to have majority of my family and friends nearby. We get to celebrate holidays together, which makes it more special. Hubby and I used to drive all over town to celebrate Thanksgiving at […]
Last week’s family meals had lot of greens. However, it was just my toddler and I at the table for most of the days, as the hubby was travelling at the end of the week. We hosted my mom and brothers this weekend. We had plans to go the beach and had our picnic food […]
This weekend, Chris and I, visited my parents house to watch boxing. Our family is a big boxing fan and we especially are a big fan of Manny Pacquiao. When we arrived, everyone was still watching the NBA finals, so my niece and I had plenty of time to goofed around. I found her wearing […]
Some fun highlights from this week. We had our usual Sunday evening at Disneyland this past weekend. I got my highest score on Buzz Lightyear ride! Chris sent me flowers at work for my birthday. The lilies finally bloomed and they are so beautiful. Definitely the bright spot in my office. They remind me of […]

Happy first day of April to everyone! I’m excited that it’s April because it’s my birthday month 🙂 It is hot, hot, hot in here. Yesterday our temps reached 90 degrees and it was the first time I slept with the bedroom door open and windows open. I didn’t realize our neighbors got a new […]
We had a fun and very busy weekend. I hope you had a fun weekend too. I’m a creature of habit. I love structures and routine so I don’t mind Mondays too much because that’s the beginning of our weekly routine. My Monday morning gym routine –> 35 minutes HIIT treadmill workout. Done! Breakfast was […]
Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid I really enjoyed this story. It had a very “Sliding Doors” feel to it. This is my second book by Taylor Jenkins Reid and I really like her writing style. I know I will eventually read all her books. The book has two different timelines […]

I travelled to Portland in January and I sorted thru my pictures recently to work on my travel album. I realize I didn’t want to print every picture I took, or the album would come out too thick once finished. Then I got to thinking, I could post a ton of pictures on the blog […]

Pregnancy Babble – 3rd Trimester Now that I am well into my third trimester, I am seeing more changes in the last few weeks with my body and how I’m feeling than I did the entire pregnancy. One of the things that is happening lately is the lack of sleep. I can go to […]
I’ve always set aside time during the week to prep food ahead of time. This just makes my week less stressful and keeps my sanity. I do this most weeks, all year. But while on Whole30, planning ahead becomes very necessary (it was mandatory for me) in order to stay compliant throughout the week. I […]
