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 […]

This week, I am participating in the life documenting process called Week In The Life. You can do this any way you want and it looks different for everybody. This is my first time doing this so I just did what came easy to me and what I can do with the time I have. […]
I found a place in our kitchen, a little nook where I can put all the cookbooks that I often use. One of those cookbooks is the Almond Flour cookbook. When I saw it, I was reminded that I haven’t used almond flour in a long time. The cookbook was written by Elana Armsterdam, who […]
As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I bought several books to help me prepare for the baby. I haven’t bought an actual book for a really long time, except for cookbooks. I read books on my Nook app or Kindle, much more convenient to have all the books in the one location […]

We’ve had beautiful weather around here. I am enjoying it while it lasts. Heard there’s a storm coming soon. Admiring the last of the ripe oranges. They are sour though 😦 And enjoying the last of the beautiful plumerias. It might be the last bloom until next season. My mother-in-law gave us a few plumeria […]
I’m enjoying a glorious three day weekend. I had Good Friday off and will be spending our Easter Weekend going to church, doing egg hunts, cooking for family and making fun treats. I want to share an Easter treat I made last year that everyone enjoyed. I love how cute these chocolate bird’s nest came […]
A few weeks ago I participated in Rebecca’s bake sale to raise money for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. I donated 2 jars of customizable granola for the sale. The 1st & 2nd highest bids won the granola. I am a coconut lover but I understand not everyone is fond of coconut like me. So […]
Some fun highlights from this week. We had our usual Sunday evening at Disneyland this past weekend. I got my highest score on Buzz Lightyear ride! Chris sent me flowers at work for my birthday. The lilies finally bloomed and they are so beautiful. Definitely the bright spot in my office. They remind me of […]
