This past weekend was Memorial Day, so it was hellooo 3-day weekend! I was very excited for an extra day off – between moving across the country, starting my new job, and a spontaneous visit to New York, a long weekend was just what I needed. Joe and I didn’t make travel plans for MDW … More Memorial Day Weekend 2023: Staycation in San Francisco
Aaand there goes another week! Last week flew by as a lot happened at work, but we did get out for a few fun activities. Last weekend was the Princess show. It was Princess’s 30th birthday and so our group threw her a surprise party on Thursday. We rented out a room at Palm House … More Princess’s birthday + flowers in bloom + what having kids feels like
Thank god it’s Monday (said no one ever!). Jokes aside, entering this week feels more optimistic as Memorial Day is next weekend and there’s always that anticipation before a long weekend. 🙂 It’s been two weeks since returning from Hawaii, and overall it’s been pretty low key here. The first week back was mostly filled … More Joe’s birthday party and garden debut
Last week was the closest I’ve felt to normalcy yet, and a big part was due to a jam-packed weekend of festivities. During COVID, I’d be lucky to get out for something just once in a week, but last weekend was one of those with back-to-back events that reminded me of life before COVID. Overall, … More Hip hop dance class + birthday picnic + saying goodbye + bringing back Burner parties + slight return to normalcy
Howdy! The wild fires on the west coast have made these last two weeks feel pretty up and down. There were several days of very unhealthy air quality which basically meant shelter-in-place 2.0. You may have seen on the news how San Francisco was literally ORANGE for a few days. This was the view outside … More Hawaiian themed birthday + Mount Tamalpais hike + new friend in SF
Last weekend was truly a special one. It was my first visit to Yosemite National Park, a place I’ve been dying to visit since moving to California 3 years ago. After failing several times to find campground reservations over the last few years, Rene’s sister scored a few hotel rooms right in the Valley, and … More Birthday weekend in Yosemite National Park
Hey peeps! How are you doing? I’m a little off my usual blogging cycle because Joe and I are heading off to Yosemite this weekend, and I‘m shooting this post before we take off. 🙂 It’s wildfire season in California, and this year has been a pretty bad one. The air has been pretty unhealthy … More 27th double birthday party + special visitor
Hey hey! This past weekend was a very fun and appreciated loooong weekend. My company graciously gave us Friday and Monday off, making it a full 4-days off! In my entire adult life, this was the first time I had off work and was NOT on the road traveling (for obvious reasons), and we opted … More Celebrating Joe’s birthday + staycation for MDW
Happy Chinese New Year!! I am missing my family on this special holiday, and send my love to those who cannot see their family due to this terrible virus. After Mexico, getting back into work and “real life” wasn’t too difficult since we were only gone for 5 days. And yet…on Friday, a nasty fever … More Underrated East bay hike + Girl’s night reunion at Matt’s birthday
The weekend was the definition of bittersweet. The event surrounding it all was Anna and Ben leaving San Francisco to start their new chapter in NYC. We had several farewell events which were full of fun – it felt so heartwarming getting our different groups of friends together one last time with Anna + Ben. … More Last girl’s night + Princess’s birthday luau + goodbye Anna & Ben
