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 […]

I’ve been craving chocolate lately. I’m not craving sweets, but I’m craving chocolate. I added a heaping tablespoon of dark chocolate powder in my oatmeal bowl and it turned into this black bowl of oats. Halloween color bowl? I added shredded coconut, granola and nuts to the bowl and had myself a healthier version of […]
Last weekend, we drove up to Mammoth (one of my favorite places to go and relax) and spent a few days relaxing at a beautiful cabin surrounded by majestic mountains and fresh air. We go to Mammoth every year, twice this year, and this year’s second trip couldn’t have come at a better time. There […]
We have arrived at our road trip destination. Viva Las Vegas!! I am the designated driver for this trip so no pictures during the drive, but I did take a snapshot during a quick stop. Pretty much from L.A. to Las Vegas, it is 5 hours of driving with this scenery. Mountains and deserts. Last […]
Happy Halloween from our baby crab. The picture below was taken during Baby H’s fall festival event at his day care. It was the first time having candy and boy did he love it! I loved that his day care had this evening festivity, we got a chance to meet other parents and see […]
We had a great summer filled with adventures and travel…we took a Caribbean cruise in June and spent a week in Hawaii in September. I find it hard to find time to write on the blog during the summer season but I’m back now that Fall season is here. I’ll dive right in and start […]
Our little man is already 2 weeks old. His full name is Bradley Hawke, but we call him by his middle name Hawke. We have been calling him that even before we found out he was going to be a boy. His first week at home, all this baby wanted to do was sleep. I […]
I was one of those women who got pregnant and felt the symptoms of morning sickness right away, I felt off and not myself as early as 4 weeks. This is a snaphot of how I felt the first trimester. Looking back, it wasn’t really that bad. But when you are in the middle of […]
I was thinking that if I take pictures of my scenery wherever I ran, it will motivate me to change my routes from time to time (I get bored running the same route all the time). To change things up. To be in the moment and appreciate each run and really see the beauty around […]
