I set out all the things I needed for the race the night before. Fairy tutus. Check. I filled my hydration belt with water. Ipod fully charged. My wake-up call the morning of the race was 4am. We had to be at the starting line and at our corral at 4:30am. I live close […]
Before I start the recap of the race events this past weekend, I just want to say that…I DID IT!! I am proud to say that I am now a two-time half marathon finisher!!! I had a great time running the race. It was even more special because I ran it with friends and […]
I am so excited for tomorrow. It’s race day. I have been looking forward to this weekend since September. This is not just any race weekend, it’s a DISNEY race weekend. It’s double the fun. We are heading to the race expo today at Downtown Disney. We’re picking up all our official race items (i.e. […]
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 […]

“Never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun” Katharine Hepburn This week: – I went on a hike with friends on Sunday morning and reached 26K steps on my fitbit by end of day. – We spent half a day at Disneyland and met-up with friends so we can be introduced […]
Before I started with the Foodbuzz Festival activities, I spent a day in Napa with my girlfriends. How did we get here? You can check it out on this post. Our day started out really great, free hot cup of coffee to wake us up before our walk. Jumping for joy in front of our […]
It’s that time again, the Orange County Fair is back for it’s annual summer fun. We took advantage of the $2 admission on Sundays and headed out to the fair around 11am. This weekend was opening weekend so even though it was packed, it wasn’t as crowded as usual. Ironically, most of the food I […]
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 […]
I love doing these posts at the end of the month, a quick snap shot of what happened in the month. As I was perusing my phone for the pictures, I saw a repeated theme, that was FOOD! I’ve worked hard to simplify our life and not over commit ourselves and to keep it simple […]
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 […]
This time of year is about celebrations, and food is a huge part of that. Avoiding great food and decadent desserts isn’t really an option for me. I love desserts too much. I want to enjoy the holidays guilt-free but at the same time, I want to avoid my waistline from growing along with the […]
