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 […]

August wrapped up most of our summer activities. We did one last hurrah of back-to-back pool party during this past Labor Day weekend, but after that, we are getting ready to say goodbye to summer. I must say, I forgot how hot it can be during the summer days in our new neighborhood. This is […]
trying out Texture magazine for the last three months. I loved it, when I found the time to use it. Since I barely logged in during the promo period, I will have to cancel the app. Maybe I’ll reactivate in the summer months, when there are more leisurely reading by the pool/beach. finishing our […]
Before I met my husband, I’ve never had fresh and live Christmas tree. I grew up using a fake tree that we re-used every year. I guess it was easier for my dad to rely on a boxed tree that he can assemble easily. Having five girls in the house, he really did not have […]
A few weeks ago, I cleaned out a ton of boxes in the garage. I’m trying to sort everything out, clean house and make a dent in organizing all the stuff I’ve kept all these years. I kept my bib from my first half marathon race in Las Vegas. Ever since I found it, I […]
I made a simple pumpkin oatmeal bake on a Sunday afternoon, with the intentions of having it for breakfast for the next 5 days until Friday. Lets just say that by Wednesday, it was all gone. This happened last year, when I was 4.5 months pregnant. The first trimester was over and I was happy […]
I am trying to clean out our pantry and incorporating at least one pantry item when I’m doing menu planning for the week. I bought these canned pink salmon from Costco because I saw a few salmon cakes recipes (Paleo & Whole 30) that I wanted to try. Well, I tried one recipe, the one […]
I have been watching the Oprah Show for a long time. Whenever I could remember to do it, I would check the ticket reservation page on her website. A few weeks ago, I entered my name during an open window for ticket reservations for the L.A taping of her show after the Oscars. A few […]
Hello friend 🙂 I hope your weekend is going well. With a newborn at home, my days and nights are starting to blur these days. I constantly look at my phone to check what day/date it is. But I do know it’s April, and this month will be a special month for me since I will […]
