Blizzard!?

I thought I was dreaming when I picked up the phone yesterday at almost noon and I was still in bed. I hastily grabbed the phone on my bedside table, as I was almost sure it was my husband who was on the other end of the line. Was I right. Soon enough he was [...]

Trading Partners

Having a Wall Street professional for a husband makes dining at home on weekdays a bit stressful. I’m not saying it happens every weeknight but more often than not it’s the norm. When a stressed man joins you on the table, you can’t help but talk about the day’s stressful grind and even if I’m [...]

Another Milestone

The day is almost over, but how can I let this day pass without writing about the special day of my partner in crime, my number one critique, my soul mate, my best friend, the man who spoils me to bits, the one and only love and sunshine of my life.

Happy birthday Hon! Here’s to [...]

Keeping Warm On A Frigid Saturday

It’s 4:00 p.m. and in as much as I wanted to head out to the spa I canceled my appointment. Why? It’s 18 degrees outside and I’m not in the mood to bundle up. Besides, I just got out of a nasty cold last week so I’m better off inside where it’s warm and toasty.

Present Unveiled: For My Number 1 Fan

Exactly one month ago, this Tiffany blue box came totally unexpected.

It was my husband’s Christmas present and I was taken aback as I thought this would have been a fitting gift for our incoming wedding anniversary – five months from now.

What’s inside the box? Something pretty and brilliant! (for my eyes only or maybe you’ll [...]

I Left My Heart In New York Almost Fifteen Years Ago

Prior to my very first visit in the Big Apple, I have always dreamed of one of those fabulous New York holidays carefully planned and prepared for by a renowned travel professional. I thought I will never get the realization of that dream until one fine day in September 1995, I found myself walking through [...]

Adoption Roller Coaster

It’s bad enough to have gone through IUI(intra-uterine insemination) once and IVF(in-vitro fertilization) three times and nothing came out of it. The roller coaster of emotions was hard to explain. Looking back, I was glad to have tried what is out there that could have helped us have at least one mini-me or my husband’s [...]

Fave Tuna Dish

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of HealthyTuna.com. All opinions are 100% mine.

I grew up in a household where balanced diet was a priority. Because of my family’s heredity and genetics whereby family members passed away mostly due to heart attack, my Mom’s crusade for the family to eat healthy meals [...]

Ciamballone a.k.a. Ciambellone

It’s time to reveal the identity of the mystery pic that I posted a week ago on this article.

As you can see, it is a bread called Ciambellone (not sure why Whole Foods spelled it with an “a” instead of “e”) – a ring-shaped bread that is [...]
