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 […]
Our summer bucket list this year involves a lot of planned family time, with a few family road trips together and some wish list of places to visit. Visiting an aquarium was on our list and since our little hula girl/my niece had a performance at the Long Beach aquarium with her dance group, it […]

It’s another scorcher of a week here in SoCal. This year I’m really looking forward to Fall season, more than I’ve done in years past, but it looks like Summer wants to stay awhile longer. I’m normally an outdoorsy girl, but lately, I’ve been overheating from the 100 degrees weather we are having and opted […]
After a week of all work and no play, I was looking forward to this past weekend because it would mean that we will be doing all play, all day. On Saturday, we spent the whole day at KIIS FM’s Wango Tango concert at the Home Depot Center. […]
Whenever I see a picture of a flower field, it reminds of books I’ve read where people roam along the fields and during simpler times. I don’t see anything like it here in Cali except in Carlsbad. You can see it from the freeway and very hard to miss, especially during spring season. Although Carlsbad’s […]
Our weekend has been a little busy. There are a lot of errands and housework to be done before we leave for our honeymoon. I’m scrubbing and wiping every thing in our kitchen. I want to come home to a clean kitchen when we return. Chris and I both spend a lot of time in the kitchen […]
(this is a test post from my phone. I apologize for any errors in the format) We drove 5 hours away from home and found ourselves in the middle of this. Where the snow meets water. Where I dug out my winter clothes, in the middle of summer, to pack for this trip. I’m blogging […]
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 […]
This past summer (and this year in general) has been the best of times. Having returned from a month long travel, both for our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and for our honeymoon, island hopping in the Philippines…..I wanted to talk (and put into writing) about why I love to travel and why I always […]
This dish might not look pretty to photograph but I found it delicious. I made it the week after I returned from my Portland trip. During the trip, we participated in a food tasting that lasted about 4 hours (including walking time, but still), it was a lot. Although I enjoyed every sip of my […]
