It's been a long week but somehow it managed to pass by quickly. Memorial Day, I was in Wisconsin for a dear cousin's funeral. It was heartbreaking but it was also really wonderful to be with extended family. It's been almost a decade since I've visited cousins out of state, and with life being busy... Continue Reading →
I ended up making that pepper sauce mentioned, here. Growing up we always had some type of pepper sauce to dip in with our food and as I got older it's just become a norm. The pepper sauce in the photo is made of all fresh ingredients. I made quite a lot and it's lasted... Continue Reading →

The spicy peanuts on top makes it heaven x2. I only bought a small papaya salad so I finished it all in a day and a half. I... Continue Reading →
Today was IKEA's grand opening in Colorado. Wish I could say I was in a tent waiting in line for two days but I didn't get that privilege. Instead, I went this morning with husband and the kids. As we approached IKEA, we could see that it was already pretty busy. Roads were blocked and... Continue Reading →
[Kylie under her umbrella] Over the weekend I went with Mom to the Hmong soccer tournament held in Westminster, CO. On Saturday we went somewhat early so it wasn't too hot which was nice. We left just when it was starting to get really hot. On Sunday, we went in the afternoon just to buy... Continue Reading →
[Celebrating the birthday girl (first left in photo)] Yesterday, we celebrated a long time friend's birthday at Wasabi Sushi Bar. It was a nice and relaxed evening. The sushi was delicious and I tried sukiyaki for the first time. Sushi boat. This is actually a photo I took of my sister's order. My husband and... Continue Reading →
