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 […]

I often find the hubby and our little man swimming in the pool when I get home from work. I’ll chat and play with them for a bit and then I head over to the garden patch and check on the tomato plants. I check on the plants a few times a week and harvest […]
Last night I drove 80 miles south to have dinner with my college friends and to celebrate my friend Gloria’s birthday. Everyone is scattered and living all over Southern California, so the good half way point for everyone was the PF Chang’s restaurant in Carlsbad. (I was just there shopping last week). The drive wasn’t […]
During the first few months of my pregnancy, I had food aversion that included vegetables. Sadly, I did not eat my usual vegetable servings but I did eat a ton of fruits. Summer fruits were in season and I just could not get enough. I was also tired all day, every day. I baked breakfast […]
Hola from Puerto Vallarta! We got married yesterday and it was everything I had envisioned it would be…and more. What a very special day it was. I will share the pictures once we are back from our trip and once we have the pictures from our photographer. What did I do the morning of the wedding? […]
vacationing in Lake Tahoe and Reno. The purpose of the trip was for a family reunion, but we flew in a few days ahead to explore Lake Tahoe. loving the field of daisies I found during our hike. So beautiful cooling off in the clear water lake after a hot day in the sun realizing […]
The ugly part of this post is towards the end. But first, lets talk about pretty and delicious desserts. During my POM dinner party, I made some treats that I gave away with my party guests goodie bags. I was inspired by Heather’s Maple Nut Oaties and adapted these from her original recipe. POM, Chocolate […]
With the gorgeous summer weather we are having, I think being out is the new in. Don’t you think? The flowers are in full bloom in our front yard and I just can’t help but spend as much time outside before the summer ends. I had a wonderful weekend, it was mostly spent outdoors. On […]
We are 7 days from Halloween and we still haven’t decided on our costumes. Me personally, I own three costumes and will start recycling them this year. We have a high employee turnover at my work that I figured, if I wear a costume I’ve worn 3 years ago, nobody is around to remember […]
