And other things.
We met a new dad at a coffee shop the other day. His little girl was about Theo’s age and their family had just moved to San Diego a couple of weeks ago. It brought me back to when we first moved here and how lost we felt in terms of where to go, what …
Because having a baby entitles you to indulge a bit in your last few months as a couple, the husband and I decided it was time to book our next trip. HAWAII. Kaua’i to be exact. Believe it or not, in my 30-some years on this earth and after the countless trips we’ve been fortunate …
Happy (Almost) New Year!! Enjoying these last hours of 2014 by sitting and thinking about what’s most important to me. I was able to spend much of the holidays with family this year, and it’s only when the house is empty again that I realize how much they mean to me. Feeling extremely blessed and …
It’s no big secret that we love going to Mexico. Even when we lived in Seattle it seemed we were always heading south of the border for our annual anniversary trips. We visited Cancun in 2011, Puerto Vallarta in 2012, and spent our first weekend as newlyweds (our “mini-moon”) in Valle de Guadalupe in the …
People. It’s been over two years since we moved to San Diego! TWO YEARS! I can’t even… time just races by and doesn’t even stop long enough for us to wave hello before it’s gone.

Things have been crazy! Cra-zy. Since May we’ve made our way up to Laguna Niguel for my brother’s birthday and to Vegas for …
Loved this and had to share. While taking a walk around my neighborhood, I stumbled on a park bench with a dedication. “Choose Happy,” in memory of – – someone I think I would’ve liked to know. Happiness is a choice. Amazingly simple, but often forgotten. Life has been hectic, but very happy, these last …
On our second week in the Philippines we headed to Bacolod, a city in the Negros Occidental province of the Visayas Islands. Basically an hour flight southeast of Manila. This is where my family owns and operates a sugar cane farm, and where my grandparents were able to get away from the hustle and bustle …
Nothing like the sight of pumpkins and Halloween candy at the grocery store to remind you that Summer is coming to an end. I can’t believe it’s almost October, and I’m now three months as a San Diegan. It’s funny, in a nauseating “roll-my-own-eyes” kind of way, when cliche sayings actually hit home. Time flies …
