I have so many recipes bookmarked for this holiday season (mostly cookies and desserts) that I don’t think I’ll have time to bake and cook them all. I guess it’s ok to make holiday cookies in the Spring right? December is full of holiday parties and I am surrounded with indulgent desserts, delicious party food, […]
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’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 […]
When it’s raining and dreary outside, seeing your tropical vacation pictures help brighten things up. I wanted to do a twist on my What I Ate Wednesday posts. To continue my wedding recap, here is What-I-Ate wedding day edition. I got a lot of advice from people on what to eat on my wedding day. I […]
It was a scorcher today and I wished I could have eaten ice cream for all my meals, but alas, I need nutrition so ice cream will have to wait, maybe for dessert later. Lets get straight to it…these are my eats for today. I had a soupy oat bowl today, I was a little […]

This weekend, Chris and I, visited my parents house to watch boxing. Our family is a big boxing fan and we especially are a big fan of Manny Pacquiao. When we arrived, everyone was still watching the NBA finals, so my niece and I had plenty of time to goofed around. I found her wearing […]
The sun has decided to come out from hiding. We’ve had a rainy week here in SoCal, but today was great. Sunny and clear. Which means, I abandoned the treadmill today and ventured outdoors to go to the park for a 4 mile run. I was excited to get out and listen to new Jillian […]
As baby H transitioned from pureed food to solid foods to regular table foods, the recipes I made in the kitchen also transitioned to make them toddler friendly. I just made little adjustments to make sure that whatever food I prepared for the hubby and I, that I was able to adapt and feed to […]
I love the time in between Christmas and New Year, my friends and family are usually off of work and it’s the best time to spend time together before we welcome the new year. Chris was on vacation for a week. We were able to enjoy our days doing something outdoorsy, like hiking. When evening […]
It’s hard getting back to reality, we were spoiled with living in paradise the last 5 days. First thing in order was to buy groceries and food to last us a week, before we leave again next Wednesday. Next was to take the wedding dress to the cleaners. We did a trash the dress session […]
Right after the wedding ceremony, Chris and I took traditional wedding pictures with our friends and family. After we took the traditional pictures, we left the wedding party (while they were enjoying cocktail hour) and took some fun photos with just us two. I love this picture below.
Palm Springs is one of our favorites places to visit. We have visited it at least once every year in the last few years. We visited it twice this year already. Depending on the season, we tailor different activities during our visit. Our little guy loves to wander around zoos, parks and playgrounds. We love […]
This week marks our first year wedding anniversary. Around this time last year, the husband and I, along with our family and friends, all vacationed to Puerto Vallarta in celebration of our wedding. Our actual wedding anniversary is May 30th, but because we got married last year during Memorial Day weekend, this weekend feels more […]
