My favorite season is fall. I’m a huge fan of the weather, the clothing options, and most of all… Football! Tomorrow night marks the beginning of the college football season (unless you count the Cal vs Hawaii blow out last week) and I could not be more excited. For those who already love to spend… Continue reading Football is Here!

I believe life is meant to be enjoyed and our frame of mind determines how much we allow ourselves to experience the beauty each day has to offer.
Almost five years ago, I was depressed, physically weak and spiritually broken. Now I feel all the blessings of a healthy life and a grateful attitude.
From positive vibes to simple pleasures- I'm sharing my thoughts on all the little things that make life truly amazing.

Mini Adventure: Dodger Game with my Dad
Some weekends stand out as ones that you’ll remember years into the future. I have to say, this weekend will most definitely be one of those for me.

Not So Guilty Pleasures- Reality TV
In my life, I focus on reducing drama. I don’t fight with my coworkers. My friends and I actually like each other. And life with the husband is pretty amazing.

Being Real With Real Girlfriends
When I’m struggling with something in life, I almost always turn to my husband. He’s my best friend, and most definitely knows me best. Even when the problem is with each other, we generally talk it out (or at times yell it out) instead of venting to friends or family. But despite having a… Continue reading Being Real With Real Girlfriends
Mini Adventure- Day Trip to Seal Beach
I’ve lived in California most of my life, and all of that time has been in Central or Northern California. Despite sharing the same state with those that call L.A. home, I have no clue where Malibu is in relationship to Disneyland.

As I mentioned on Friday, my stepdaughter is now officially a freshman in college.

I am super blessed to have two amazing stepkids. Aidan is 20 and starting his third year at Chico State, and Maura is 18 and starting her freshman year at Long Beach State.

Whether You Believe You Can Do It Or Not- You’re Right
I swear that my Thursday spin instructor is part workout guru and part motivational speaker. Somehow she pedals at amazing speeds, calls out fun chorography, all while dropping inspirational messages. So many of her little nuggets have stuck with me long after I’ve left the studio. And what she said today really struck a chord.… Continue reading Whether You Believe You Can Do It Or Not- You’re Right
