Now that we have our newborn and toddler, more than ever I want to make sure my husband and I have alone time together to do things we enjoy and did pre-babies. It was hard enough with one, but I can already see that if we aren’t intentional about taking time to be together, we… Continue reading A switch to the date “night”, with a funny outcome
Nine years ago on this exact date, February 28th, I had just finished one of my usual dance lessons at Londance Studio in Santa Ana. As I was walking toward the front lobby to exit I saw “handsome guy” talking with the nice lady at the front desk and I smiled and said good… Continue reading When you meet that special someone
Tomorrow is my 40th birthday! I can’t seem to wrap my mind around the fact that I’m greeting this milestone birthday with a 3 year old daughter and a little bitty 4 week old newborn. Wow! For starters, how am I 40?! I don’t even feel like I’m 40 and some people say I certainly… Continue reading About a newborn – hello 40!
I grew up in a household where my mom did everything. She cooked, cleaned, organized, managed the finances, kept the house stocked with the day to day things that we needed, and many more small and big things that would be too much to list here.

I’m a huge believer of “it’s a sign”. I’ve been on a writing slump for well over a month now. And it’s not because I don’t have things to share or write about, I just haven’t had the passion or desire to do so. It’s sad to admit because I’ve had some moments where either… Continue reading Live for the other
I’ve been sick since Friday night with terrible body aches, chills, and a sore throat. The body aches have finally subsided today (yay!) but my throat remains sore as ever. My glands are definitely swollen and when I opened wide to peek at the back of my mouth, sure enough there was tons of deep… Continue reading Hey Pretty Girl
I think I had an out of body experience the other day, or at least as close to what one can have while fully awake and alert to everything happening around you at that specific moment. It had been a busy and productive day at work and as I was driving back home I was… Continue reading And then I said “you go girl!”
I started to write this post during one of my many moments of rest during our family getaway to Idyllwild. We’re back home now and pretty much settled in and I thought I would share some of our pictures and finish the thoughts I started… Today is our third day in Idyllwild and it has been such… Continue reading Idyllwild – Pine Cove
I was working on my data analysis homework when Sade’s song came on the radio and I instantly thought of my husband. I had to stop what I was doing and share this because if I’ve learned one thing in the last 24 hours is that some thoughts are so fleeting and cause such a… Continue reading By Your Side
Now that I have a bit of extra time while on break from school I decided it would be good to pick up my book The Meaning of Marriage written by Timothy Keller with Kathy Keller and give it the attention and time it deserves. Have any of you read it, or heard of it or Timothy Keller?… Continue reading An Unsolvable Puzzle
