And other things.
In my on-going quest to eat healthier, I found this latest recipe on Watching-What-I-Eat.blogspot.com. These peanut butter & oat cookies are her take on a “breakfast cookie,” and I was hooked at “peanut butter”. I’m not oblivious to the fact that peanut butter is high in calories, but I liked this alternative to using flour …
It might just be a Saturday for most people, but it also happens to be my cousin Anna’s wedding day! Though I couldn’t attend the celebration, I wanted to give a little shout-out to her and her fiance Aaron. They are two people who compliment each other so well, and make others around them feel …
Hello! It’s been awhile, I know. Between house guests, birthdays, wedding planning, Summer in SD, and a recent Bachelorette party trip to Vegas, I’ve gotten a little behind on my blogging. 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 …
It’s recipe sharing time! Inspired by my upcoming wedding, I’ve made a conscious effort to eat healthier. Not to mention, I just feel better when I do. I found these two really great recipes while perusing other blogs. All credit for these go to TwoPeas & TheirPod. I loved the fresh ingredients and simplicity of …

Last week Michael gave me the best present in the world! He asked me to marry him on our fourth anniversary together. I am basically the happiest person on Earth. And right now, maybe the most prone to getting into a car accident. Engagement rings should come with a warning label that says driving with your …
Hunger can lead to desperation… and grumpiness. It’s a proven fact. I had to think fast one afternoon when hunger pains struck and I hadn’t gone grocery shopping yet! All I had in the fridge was leftover rotisserie chicken. And spinach. Luckily 1 + 1 didn’t turn out to be such a bad combo. Add …
It’s official – – my brother is a married man and I have a new sister-in-law! The two were married this past weekend in a beautiful, very personal ceremony in El Segundo, CA, followed by a spectacular reception at the Smogshoppe in Los Angeles. With two hired photographers, and a good portion of my Filipino …
As 2012 comes to a close, it feels only appropriate to share this great quote I stumbled on yesterday. Ironically enough, I read this right after coming home from a shopping trip. And as if buyer’s remorse hadn’t already paid me a visit, this quote really allowed it to settle in. All kidding aside, I …
