It’s been a while since I’ve written about my hiking adventures, and my hikes have been few and far between over the last 4 months. I plan on catching you all up in the coming weeks with the handful of hikes I did go on over the summer; however I thought I’d […]...

I LOVE to eat crab! Living on the Central Coast of California, you think I would have it a lot, right? Not so. It’s kind of outside our budget on a regular basis, but this was a special getaway weekend for Frank and I and we decided to splurge. And oh my gosh – was […]...

Affiliate link included. Last year, I attended my very first Fitcation Event (now known as ShiftCon). It was an awesome experience and nothing quite like I thought it would be! Part of the Fitcation experience involves exploring the region the conference was located in. Last year, it was located on the California Central Coast in […]...

I love to travel! In fact, since a young age, I’ve enjoyed traveling. I’ve traveled to Maui (at age 13), to Canada (at 15) and to Russia (at age 18). Since starting my blog, I’ve had the opportunity to travel around the county, as well as to Mexico a few times. I’ve visited Cancun, Mexico […]...

Frank and I travel down to Los Angeles a lot! We’ve found that sometimes it’s just easier (and more cost-effective) to take a taxi to get where we’re going. Whether we’re heading to a baseball game, a concert or a press event, it can get expensive (and frustrating) driving around and searching for parking in […]...

A couple weeks back I joined about 9,000 other participants in this year’s Run or Dye Color Run in San Luis Obispo, CA. We had so much fun! My girlfriends and I created a group called “Parental Colors,” and we even brought a few of our kids. I don’t know who had more fun, […]...

Oops! We did it again! It’s only been 7 weeks since Arleena and I last visited Murray Hill (otherwise known as the Unnamed Hill)/ Reservoir Canyon Trail. I cannot believe we chose to do the other side – and on a sweltering 90-degree sunny day no less! The last time we ventured up this […]...

This week Arleena and I wanted to revisit the trails of Irish Hills. This mountain range has several different routes to hike that it will take a few more trips to explore the entire area. Back in week 15 we ventured through Mariposa and King trails. This week we traveled along Poppy to Froom […]...

This week Arleena and I revisited Cerro San Luis (or San Luis Mountain). Back in week 12, Arleena and I made a wrong turn on this trail that only got us to the M on this mountain which about ¾ of the way up to the top. Needless to say we were a bit bummed […]...

One of my favorite wineries on the Central Coast is the Kelsey Winery. Frank, myself and a few of my girlfriends went wine tasting at Kelsey Winery for the first time last year and I fell in love with it. We’ve even back a few other times since – bringing friends who have visited the […]...

I love to save money, but I also like to get quality items for the money I do spend. When it comes to selling (or even buying), I love to consign! I am so lucky to have the Moo La La Boutique here on the Central Coast! It’s a great event where members of the community sell […]...

After being sick for a week, I was ready to “get back on horse” as they say and kick butt hiking. I was on my own this week and didn’t want to hit an all-new spot, so I chose the Sycamore Crest Trail. This trail is the backside trail to one of our first […]...

Objective: Hike at least once a week. Whether the hikes are big or small, long or short, with or without kids, I want to actively engage my body and enjoy this beautiful world we live in. There are so many places to go (free places to boot) that I want to explore them all. I […]...

Over the past few months, I have LOVED driving the 2014 Toyota Sienna XLE…and my family has loved riding in it too! Family road trips, travel and running errands have become fun rather than annoying and boring. This is both for the kids and us as parents! In fact, we decided one weekend to take […]...

Sometimes I find it difficult to get motivated. Week 14 was one of those weeks. Arleena and I needed to switch up our scheduled hiking day when we heard the rain forecasted for the week. I never thought of myself as a girl who likes her schedules, but when it comes to my workouts […]...

A few weeks back, Arleena and I tackled Bishop’s Peak which I thought was an amazing feet. Climbing that mountain gave me a sense of accomplishment. Last week’s climb trumps Bishop’s Peak! By the luck of the draw, Arleena and I choose Reservoir Canyon Trail located just off the 101 Freeway at the base of […]...
