Hello all

 Just as the seasons change so has my life. It took an unexpected turn, I lost someone that was my mentor, best friend, love to hate, stubborn, tell it like it is, my anchor but most importantly my Daddy. As I mend the large void in my heart I have finally explored a dream of becoming a photographer.

Without rain nothing grows, learn to embrace the storms of your life.

 Here's some photos from a recent photo session I did in my hometown Livingston, Ca. My lovely model is Nicolette my beautifully driven cousin. Reach for the stars!

EASY Recipe: Eggs, Rice, & Ketchup

I want to share a simple dish that my family and I grew up eating, it's one of my favorite go to dishes it definitely fills me up and taste great. The reason it's one of my go to dishes is because it has ingredients that are usually within my house. 

I feel like this dish is maybe a Filipino thing I'm not sure, I've asked numerous friends with different cultures and they've never tried it before. But I assure you it's a great dish. 

Three simple ingredients

Rice, scrambled eggs, and ketchup 

When I was a child I would go all out.. I probably have a bunch of rice and a bunch of ketchup but now being an adult I do measure out my ingredients but I feel it's really a preference on how you would like it. 

All you have to do is cook scramble eggs once done mix in cooked rice and ketchup up to your desire. Enjoy!

Review - Tommee Tippee Formula Dispenser

I want to share with all of you items I feel have helped me tremendously since becoming a new Mom. 

The first item right off the bat is the Tommee Tippee Formula Dispenser. Basically it is a perfectly shaped cup that fits into a Tommy Tippee Bottle to store formula while having water ready. I personally use this system everyday especially since I'm a work at home mom. I think this works ideally if your child drinks formula at room temperature. (Which may I note is a VERY good tip.. I'm way to lazy to warm bottles, plus I like room temperature water so my babe should too haha ) It does come with a lid but most the time I don't even use the lid unless I'm really traveling out of my house just for extra security but if I'm just at home I usually don't and it works fine. Also I have a few bottles ready at my night stand for his 4am feeding.. I have no complaints.. One happy mama here! 

Here's a photo without the lid.

This is how I store the bottles for the day I usually prepare this at night.

        

Till next time friends.
