I try to stock our freezer with healthier treats. You know, for those times when I walk in the door in the evenings and dinner is not ready, and I just need one little snack to tide me over. Not just any snack, but a sweeter snack and eating a fruit will not squash the […]

Weekend Things {1} How’s the new year treating you so far? My weekend was relaxing. I actually took it easy because I had a strained muscle on my stomach last week. – Cher and I watched the movie “This is 40”. I was entertained and the movie had some funny moments, but it just surprised […]
“What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more” – Dr. Seuss I have kept that quote in my head this holiday season. I normally make a Christmas wishlist, a list I make in my head. It helps me answer the questions I get from […]
In January, we took a road trip to Palm Springs and rode the aerial tramway to go see and play with snow. There were 3 cars total on this road trip, so it was a big group with my sisters, brothers and kiddos. For my brothers and my little guy, this was their first time […]

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I had a sweet tooth this weekend and enjoyed eating a few treats, including chocolate covered pretzel with toffee from Disneyland. But onto a new recipe for meatless Monday…. I first read about tempeh a few years ago when I read The Kind Diet cookbook. Tempeh is made […]
The picture with Santa below from Christmas 2013 was when Baby H was only 9 months. The picture was taken after they visited the petting zoo at Disney and was taken early in the season so there were no lines. This year, we tried twice to see Santa at Disneyland, both times we were […]
I’ve seen these fun paint and wine events for awhile now and I’ve always wanted to try it. A quick group text among my girlfriends and we made it happen. We got news that my friend E was flying down from San Francisco and she wanted to celebrate her birthday doing Paint Nite. The event […]
There is something in the air that made me crave rich and thick soup for dinner tonight. Oh, I think it has something to do with the cooler weather and early sunsets and that fall is here. I get off work later than most people and currently have a long commute home. Most nights I […]
