San Leandro is the next stop on our trip in the Hometown Tourist series. We wanted to go on some hyper-local "vacations" this year. It helps us to see the beauty right where we are when we can see it through a different lens. Of course, if we were on a real vacation, we would... Continue Reading →
We wanted to go on some hyper-local "vacations" this year. It helps us to see the beauty right where we are when we can see it through a different lens. Of course, if we were on a real vacation, we would probably pack it in and do some more exciting things, but after the last... Continue Reading →
We were in the area so we decided to go on a semi-unplanned small adventure to Central Park and Japanese Garden in San Mateo. Besides all of the activities that happen at the park, there is also a Japanese Garden, Central Rose Garden, Mini-Train, and Park and Picnic areas. We didn't get a chance to... Continue Reading →
M's class used to play this game during review time of the different subjects. They had so much fun. We had this on our list to buy for the longest time and finally got it for ourselves for Christmas. It has already gotten the most use out of all the gifts we were gifted. *Note:...

I got this idea from my friend Jessica and our family has been loving it the past few months. It started this summer. We've always loved games and usually play at least one game a week. But Jessica gave us the idea to do a game centerpiece. She took out a few games each week... Continue Reading →
The girls have been getting in on the ALIVE action. :p I've been helping a friend with her nonprofit this past month and while we've known of the needs of our community, it is eye-opening diving into even the behind-the-scenes work that is done. ALIVE loves and serves children who are experiencing foster care, homelessness,... Continue Reading →

It is always a fun bonus when there's a prize for reading books. I'll add to this list as the programs start and (perhaps give updates as we finish them!) 🙂 TIP: Make sure to have a timer on hand to track those minutes! (We used to have the timer bookmark lights we realized the... Continue Reading →
These "A Look Back" posts are probably more for us than it is for your enjoyment but hopefully they will spark a reflection spirit in us to review what has happened last month and reset ourselves for the next month. We'll try to share a little snippet of life in the previous months. I don't... Continue Reading →

And the windows were Mickey-shaped too. Keep reading to find out what we did on Day 4 of our Asia Adventures! Welcome to the... Continue Reading →
It was pouring rain with gusty winds and some thunder when we woke up. Fortunately, it didn’t stay this way for the entire day. We got to leave early and took the metro. It’s very breezy in there. And we also took a bus that was jerky as we were going around to the top... Continue Reading →
We walked to 85° Daily Cafe for some breakfast goodies. We went to a church in Tai Po and we were apparently well-known there because my great-grandpa founded the church and was a pastor.
