At the end of each month, I share things that have made me happy, new discoveries, or recommendations that I find worthwhile. Enjoy. 1. I’ve been living in – not the exact ones, but similar – Jeans Bermudas by Refuge for the last month. I am so glad I can wear casual wear to work!…
J and I had talked about an overnight trip for who knows how long. So a couple of weeks ago, we finally just said, enough, let’s go. Since it was going to be a hot weekend in Sacramento, it was a good time to get away. Saturday morning, we headed out to the North Bay…
Phew. August has been a month. Let me give you the scoop about what’s currently going on over here. HAPPY ABOUT | the weekend trip that J and I took to the North Bay. We hadn’t gotten out for an overnight trip in a while and it was good that we did. EXCITED ABOUT |…
Around the Interwebs Oh this is useful: iPhone Hack. How friendships change in adulthood. Maybe it ain’t so bad? In defense of being average. It’s okay to be good, not great. Around the blogosphere My friend Stephany wrote about To have or not to have kids and I’ve had a lot of the same thoughts….

I just went through my recipe archive and cannot believe that I never shared the recipe for one of my favorite sweet treats. Milk rice has always been a summer-treat at our house growing up. It’s actually often thought of as a “sweet meal”, rather than just a dessert and can easily be served as…
I can’t believe we’re well into the third quarter of this year, so who is ready to look back at our Q2 spending? Our overall spending was actually down over the last three months compared to Q1 of this year, but that’s why the pie-pieces have shape-shifted a bit when it comes to percentages of…
A little over a week ago, I ran the 1st SF half marathon again. This was my fourth year and I think it’s hard to deny that this has become one of my favorite races, because I obviously I keep going back. The event combines a great race with a fun weekend in San Francisco,…
I read two books in July, hooray! It’s a miracle. J/K. Just happy to see that I invested some of my precious time in two good books last month.
