Minneapolis
I have nothing but love for Minneapolis, even if they defeated us in both basketball and baseball the week that we were visiting. We were following our San Francisco Giants on the road to the home of the Minneapolis Twins and checking off stadium 28 of 30 on Alex’s MLB ballpark quest. So close! Only…

Bay Area | April, 2025
At home in the month of April. Starting it off with a virtual accountability meeting. Matt Chapman bobblehead day with the Giants. Golden State 5k! I walked most of it, but I was proud to do it at all as I was starting my third trimester. Brunch at Rabbit Hole. And stroller shopping with my…

Tokyo in April
What a treat it was to go back to Tokyo in April after having just been there in January. Alex went for work, so it was a bit of a last-minute trip that we hadn’t originally planned on. I invited myself along, and while he worked long hours every day, I had lots of time…

Sakura Session
We were lucky enough to visit Tokyo not once but twice this year, and we were doubly lucky to catch the tail end of cherry blossom season on the second trip. Since it was a work trip for Alex and we weren’t able to book things until the last minute, we got very lucky (again)…

Bay Area | March, 2025
Hello, March! Let’s get right into it. First, a virtual Office of Accountability meeting. I cannot remember why we were laughing. I borrowed a tiny Sony RX100 V camera through my Sony Pro membership and used it all month. It’s a pocked-sized point and shoot, but I liked that it still had a wide aperture….

San Francisco Sports-Themed Gender Reveal
I planned a little gender reveal for a small group of friends and family, but especially for Alex. He had kept the gender a surprise for himself for the first part of the pregnancy, even though I already knew. So I thought about what would be fun for Alex, and I decided to go with…

Truckee & Tahoe
At least once a year, we’ll make the trek up to Tahoe for Alex to go snowboarding. After a few seasons of skiing at Palisades, Alex switched back to Northstar on Epic this year. And I spent some quality time hanging out at our Airbnb, visiting my favorites shops in downtown Truckee, and enjoying lodge…

Bay Area | January & February, 2025
I’m back on the monthly recaps! We spent most of January in Asia, so I’m picking up with a combined post on both January and February in the Bay. We definitely returned from Asia with three more bags than we left with! And our first meal back was… Chipotle? Videochat catch-ups We also came back…

My Birthday with Sun Moon Studio
Returning from our month-long vacation in Asia last January, I launched right into my birthday celebration with some of my dear friends. We treated everyone to the truly outstanding dining experience at Sun Moon Studio in West Oakland. This tiny 12-seat restaurant first captured my attention when I found out that Taiwanese American chef Alan…
