Feeling Fine at 39
I just celebrated my 39th birthday a few days ago, and I have nothing but gratefulness in my heart to everyone who made my birthday truly memorable. When I was a lot younger, my birthdays weren’t so much fun because I usually didn’t have any cake — except on my 1st, 13th and 21st birthdays. … Continue reading
The Gym Diaries
I’m thirty-eight-and-a-half years old, so I made a very short list of my personal goals before I hit the big 4-0. This is what I came up with, so far: Learn how to drive. Learn how to bake (cookies, cakes and cupcakes). Get absolutely fabulous abs! Look, I’m a very realistic person. I know for … Continue reading
Like or Dislike?
With the impending demise of Multiply, I’ve been busy transferring four years’ worth of food adventures from my Multiply site to my new Facebook page.

Crazy for Chocolate
There seems to be a lot of confusion about when the official Chocolate Day is to be observed. Some groups say it’s yesterday, July 7, while others celebrate it on October 28th. I heard there’s even a World Chocolate Day on September 4th. In the interest of peace and harmony, and to end all the … Continue reading
Joyride: Life’s an Adventure
Consider this an invitation to take a peek into my world. Those who know me personally are fully aware that I am, foremost, a stay-at-home wife and doting mother. To keep myself preoccupied, I surf the worldwide web during most of my waking hours. I am a food lover with a voracious appetite for all … Continue reading
