Happy Father’s Day

Sunday, June 18th, 2017

My parents arrived from Korea last week and they brought one of my nephews to spend this summer with us! We are so happy to have you!

So this year, we have two great dads in the house!

Chloe’s pom to her dad…so sweet.

We also got him a backpack from Lo & Sons.

Cocktail Night

Friday, May 19th, 2017

I’m having some girlfriends over tonight and here’s what I made:

Blackberry Ginger Moscow Mule

Ina Garten’s Baked Shrimp Scampi

Limoncello fruit Salad with lemon yogurt topping (also Ina Garten’s recipe)

Ready for a party!

Happy Mother’s Day

Sunday, May 14th, 2017

Andrew’s left yesterday for a business trip to Scotland and UK.
Chloe was sad about her dad leaving especially because he’ll miss mother’s day. She was also sick with a cold and allergies that she was stressing about for days for not being able to do much for me on mother’s day. She really is the sweetest girl!! As any mother’s would say, it’s the thought that counts! I know her heart and I am just so thankful for her love for me and her caring heart… I am so blessed!

She didn’t get me a beautiful breakfast-in-bed, but she did prepare breakfast for all of us, a simple toast and breakfast drinks before leaving early for church this morning.  She’s the best!


For lunch, I thought it would be nice to have my in-laws over for a meal to celebrate this special day with them . We had a lovely time. Happy mother’s day!

Happy Saturday!

We have friends coming over to play with us and this is what I prepared.

Grilled cheese sandwich with bacon

Rosemary grilled chicken with green salad

Shane had fun with 3 boys and Chloe was busying being an excellent host playing and taking care of two little girls.  

Super Bowl Party

Sunday, February 5th, 2017

These cuties made this delicious looking “not-your-cheese”  plate.

I made wings and chili for the occasion.

We have too many patriots fans in the house…

Super bowl cupcakes brought by guests. What a great game!

Thanks for coming everyone! Chloe had an awesome time to say the least. During the party when everyone left the table and decided to run around the house playing game, Chloe came to me several times to give me hugs and tell me how thankful she was that I planned this. Oh my Lord.. I’m so amazed and so thankful I have a daughter like her… Happy birthday my beautiful baby!
