Winter Recap

"A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step" - Lao-Tzu

It was still snowing and freezing last month, but now it’s officially spring. Seasons come and go, but there’s always beauty that was brought to us. Every season is unique and they give different memories and experiences to our life.
We didn't do much this winter except for the holiday rush, so I got the chance to do more blog posts and did a lot of baking. I tried a lot of recipes and experimented with ingredients that can be added to my cooking repertoire. My resolution for this year is to have a healthy lifestyle, although it's challenging, I'm getting there one step at a time.

I did a lot of reading too, since my goal is to read two books a month.

Here are some of the highlights and activities from this winter season:

Here are our pictures from the holidays.

Here are some of my food from my past blog posts.

Books I've Read: 

"The decisions of our past are the architects of our present" - from Inferno

Inferno: This book is like a tour guide to Italy. It is extremely informative about the culture, history, art, and facts. It's also as if you are experiencing an adventure in the book; the events are very realistic that they are life-like.

Da Vinci Code: This book was like a scavenger hunt; it was a definite page-turner. This book began with a surprise, a certain "code;" but as you try to unravel the mystery, it leads to more questions that need to be solved.

Presumed Innocent: This story is about a man's obsession which puts everything he loves and values on trial - including his own life.

The Apostle: It follows the character of Scott Harvath as he is sent on a top secret assignment for the United States Government to save a kidnapped American doctor. 

He Sees You When You're Sleeping: The mother and daughter reunite for a heartwarming holiday, a tale of redemption and love. 

Insurgent: This story is book two of the Divergent trilogy wherein Tris continues her journey being in the faction she chose. She discovers a secret from her old faction involving her parents that put her life in danger. She wonders if being divergent was really a gift or a curse.
