I remember before we had kids, people would always say, “Don’t forget to make time for each other, and go on dates.” And I was always like, yea, yea, yea, of course we will. Fast forward nearly eight years and two children later. Sometimes I feel like my hubby and I are roommates, ships passing …
The Best Appetizer Ever!
It’s not gorgeous, but don’t judge this book by its cover because it is damn good! Trader Joe’s Feta Lentil Bruschetta ( I don’t think this recipe is a huge secret considering I tried it for the first time in the sample area, and have seen several versions of it on Pinterest.) Nonetheless, it is …
Why this Jew LOVES Easter
In our family I am the hostess. I host Thanksgiving, Halloween, and most every other family gathering in between. While this is by choice, sometimes it’s nice to take a break. This is one of the reasons why I LOVE Easter! On top of that, this is a holiday when the kids don’t expect any …
MexiGreek Dinner
What I love about this dinner is that it’s of course delicious, and on top of that, it is easy, fast, most of the ingredients you probably already have in the fridge, and I can deconstruct the recipe for the kiddos.

Viva Las Vegas (Part 2)

Viva Las Vegas in Your 30’s!
This past weekend my husband and I escaped the madness of karate, baseball, and birthdays parties for a little party time of our own in Las Vegas. We planned the trip with another couple under the rouse of attending the PAC 12 Basketball Tournament. Really all we I wanted to do was sleep, eat, and shop. …
My OG Disneyland Tips
**Updated** I wrote this post when we first began our love affair with disney! Over the long weekend we made a last minute decision to head up to Disneyland for a few days. We have a love/hate relationship with Disneyland. In our minds we picture our happy children frolicking through Tomorrowland singing our praises and …
Happy Birthday to ME
Today I turn 35. Most days I still feel like a kid, not a grown up. I still call my mom every day, and consult with her on any major life decisions, and more importantly hair, makeup, and wardrobe ones. I live in San Diego, the city I grew up in, and even …
