One of my best friends from high school, was in town for the week. It was soooo good to catch up and have her see my new place and just spend quality time together. We had brunch, shopped, lounged and ate (of course)! My heart is full after this visit with Natalie.

Happy Mother’s Day!
Lucy and I went for a small hike and then surfing. We enjoyed the rest of the day at my uncle's with grandma and some other family. Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there!
A New Hobby
I whipped out my sewing machine and finished some burp cloths I started ages ago. I have several friends having babies in the next couple of months and so it's a perfect time to make some gifts. I made about 20 of them or so over a few days. My lower back was a bit …
Girls Trip to Mexico City
First travel in the books! It was a short nonstop flight from Tijuana to Mexico City. I met a few girlfriends down there for a long weekend and we visited some friends who live there. We walked all over the city, ate delicious food, went out dancing, and floated on the river boats. I traveled …
Another Hike in the Books
I have booked a lot of travels for the summer. Each one progressing in flight length and travel length. I'm working on improving my strength in PT and increasing my stamina with doing more activities and having less rest time in my weeks. I hiked Torrey Pines in La Jolla with a friend who was …

Hospital Packing List
I have made a PDF form, for anyone to be able to print, to prepare for their hospital stay. It's a long list and obviously, not all the items are needed. My hope is that it will be a useful list to give you ideas of what to bring with you and if you want …
Weekend Lessons
Lesson 1: I can road trip with minimal discomfort and I don't need to stop and stretch as much as I expected. Lesson 2: I can carefully walk in the snow and when I slip, I'm strong enough to catch myself so I don't fall and it doesn't hurt more than a couple minutes. Lesson …
Big Week of Milestones
On my last PT session of the week, my PT said I could wean down to only one day for my hip and one day for my shoulder. We joked that we are slowly starting the break up process! I'm completely fine with this type of break up and actually quite stoked. Sorry Jeff! So …
