Memorial Day Weekend

Our long Memorial Day weekend was mostly low-key and laid back.  + Friday was J and my 10th anniversary. We wanted to go somewhere for a day trip and I had suggested going back to the Fremont Diner in Sonoma/Napa Valley. I had just been there two weeks ago with my friend Susi, but a)…

Currently | May

reading The Ramblers by Aidan Donnelley Rowley (Aidan blogs, too.) listening to the Budgets and Cents Podcast. I am kind of in a budgeting phase right now and the topics that are covered are informative and give me food for thought (although, to be completely honest, I am really picky when it comes to people…

Davis Pride Run for Equality 10k

On a whim, and to get some more race experience under my belt, I signed up for the Davis Pride Run for Equality 10k  two weeks ago. At my last 10k race (which was my first race ever), I was a little overwhelmed trying to find my running pace and optimal race line, and not…

Recipe | Homemade pumpkin seed granola

A couple of weeks ago, I started making my own granola. I really feel so silly for never trying that before, but I think I told you that I had found the pretty much perfect granola at our local Co-op. It’s really good, has the perfect mix of sweet and salty and has no added…

Friday Facts

I’m working today and  while I am very thankful for my flexible hours (I’m making up some hours that I “borrowed” as vacation time when I took my trip to Germany in March), this week feels extra-long to me and I can’t wait for the weekend to start. * * * It almost hit the…

Girl time: Kayaking in Napa

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago,  I was planning another “girls’ day getaway” with my friend Susi, which we’re trying to make an annual  thing) and that happened to be last Sunday. We both had been overdue for some uninterrupted girl time. There is something so energizing and soul-refreshing about spending a day…

Awkward & Awesome

This is a regular feature post on my blog. See the archives here. AWKWARD + When a couple goes shopping at Trader Joe’s and both stand there, arms crossed and watch the store employee bag their groceries after ringing everything up. This annoys me especially when there is a long line at the checkout and they brought…

Daily life | Artisan Kitchenaid splurge 

You guys, I don’t know for how long I have been talking about my desire to own a KitchenAid mixer. It’s been on my (Christmas) wishlist for at least 2-3 years. We never had counter-space in our old apartment for it and it’s not exactly a cheap purchase, so it’s not something I would have…

Travel recap: Munich

On our way to and from the Italian Alps, we had two stop-overs in Munich. One, to break up the long drive and two, because it’s always a good idea to stay a night or two in Munich. Obviously. This was another “nostalgic” part of my visit back home, because we used to stay in…
