My heart is always been split because I have family and friends in different parts of the USA, but especially in California since I’m a Bay Area native and reside in SoCal now. So to celebrate our baby boy, we … Continue reading My NorCal Baby Shower

I’m playing massive catch up on my blog because to be real honest, last year was hard. So now that I’m in a much better place mentally, I can sit down and write about all the things 🙂 let’s rewind to last October, it’s autumn and like I mentioned, I was definitely in a funk. Our dear friends L and J, were trying to keep our spirits up and took us to the cutest pumpkin patch in Orange County. There were quite a few families around picking out the perfect pumpkin for craving. They had some food and a train … Continue reading Pumpkin Patch
This past weekend was my friend’s bachelorette and it was a weekend of relaxation – we had a soundbath, yoga and pool time with lots of yummy eats! We started the weekend with massages in house – strongly recommend and they come to you! They also offer facials, but I got my first prenatal massage and Genie was a miracle worker.

I always said my blog would be about things that made me happy like high tea and places I’ve traveled, but overtime it became random musings like about diaper bags and thoughts I have on the airplane with MOST of them being in the tone of joy. However since pandemic, my blogs have been a little more…somber? And maybe that comes with getting older and more life coming at me so just want to say thank you for continually supporting me as we do this life thing – good and bad. When the miscarriage happened and even the few months … Continue reading Life after Miscarriage

In real life, I’ve always been very open book about my life with the ups and downs, but generally tend to post the “pretty things” on social. This time, I’m going to try and help alleviate the taboo conversation of miscarriage because to be honest it sucks, it’s a club no one wants to be a part of. And it sucks even more when you feel isolated and alone. So here’s my pregnancy and miscarriage story from the beginning – my ultimate dream in life is to be a mom. I can’t really say when it started, but growing up, … Continue reading My Miscarriage Story
