Whenever I run early in the morning, I find myself getting hungry for a snack before lunch. I’ll have my normal oatmeal breakfast, have a snack bar mid morning and a late lunch. I would rather have higher calorie and nutrient dense breakfast that will keep me full until lunch. This week I switched things […]

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart (4/5 stars) This story was beautiful, haunting and suspenseful. It was a quick read, perfect for a day at the beach. I had goosebumps when the twist was revealed and also felt sadness. Maybe I will go back and re-read in the future….just to figure out if there […]

Doing some kind of meal planning on the weekend is my saving grace. Most nights, I don’t get home from work until around 6:30. My toddler’s bedtime is 8pm, so that doesn’t leave me a lot of quality time with him in the evenings. If I prep food on Sundays (and mid week on Wednesdays), […]

I loved documenting my life (hello blog!) and what prevents me from doing it more often is the time it takes to do it. I’m always finding ways to do a shortcut, but I want to do shortcuts only if I also love the end results. This post was inspired by a post I saw […]

I am San Francisco bound this morning on my way to the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival. I’m at the airport waiting for my flight to San Francisco.

Here’s what we have been up to lately….. We try to spend a few hours over the weekend to visit my sister, brothers and nephew. We are all grieving my mom’s death differently but for me, spending time with family as much as I can feels good. My mom used to live with my sister, […]
