Last week was Squirrel and Bug’s first week back to school.  Squirrel is in the fifth grade and Bug is in the third grade.  (How did they get so old?!?) Usually I am just as excited for those first few days of school as they are.  I look forward to the return of routine, but […]

As a little girl, one of my favorite treats was a cherry limeade.  Sometimes when we visited my grandparents in Utah we would make a trip to Hires Big H, a great little Utah-based burger joint, that also happens to serve my all-time favorite cherry limeade.  Other people loved going to Hires for their homemade […]

I can hardly believe we are about to greet the beginning of a new year once again.  This past year has been full of so much—change, excitement, joy, surprise, and sadness—that it’s hard to believe so little time has passed.  I always enjoy reflecting on what the past year has brought our family, and this […]

Strawberry Crush Mocktail

I am looking forward to the upcoming long weekend.  I love Memorial Day because I love barbecues and eating out doors, both of which seem to go hand in hand with the holiday.   I think a holiday deserves a delicious drink to go with it, so I dreamed up a little mocktail to pair […]

Who knew that I would taste the best lemonade I’d ever tasted in the middle of a strawberry field in Oxnard, California?  Random, I know, but those tend to be the best discoveries!  The Fuji family was invited by the California Strawberry Commission (CSC) on an “I Heart CA Strawberries” Blogger Field Trip with a […]

Blackberry Vanilla Mocktail

A drink sporting beautiful tart blackberries with hints of honey, lemon, and vanilla?  Thoughts of this drink made me weak in the knees when today’s guest mixologist proposed it.  Rachael White is a force to be reckoned with, and when I found out she had started a new blog, I thought maybe she would be […]
