Here’s another place we visited during Alex’s spring break – the famed Holden Arboretum! We viewed the Patrick Dougherty’s Stickwork sculpture (so cool!), climbed the Emergent Tower, and strolled through the Canopy Walk. As always, there was too much to explore in one visit. We’ll be back! 😁
Spring Flowers
Here are a few photos of the daffodils and hyacinths that were blooming oh so prettily in our garden earlier this spring. ❤️
Headlands Beach State Park
These photos were taken during Alex’s spring break – it was another beautiful day! Of course, we had to drag Alex out of the house again, lol…..this time, to the beach where he and Keith spent most of the time skipping rocks. ❤️

Our Easter Meal
Rather than the usual ham and scalloped potatoes meal we usually have for Easter, we made laksa instead – it was delicious, as always! ❤️
Liberty Park
Here’s a belated post – it was an absolutely beautiful day on Easter and it felt like all of Northeast Ohioans were out. For us, we dragged Alex out and hiked the Ledges Trail at Liberty Park in Summit County. After we were done, he mentioned that he enjoyed the hike after all. 😁
Penitentiary Glen Reservation

Happy Easter!
What a gorgeous day! Happy Easter to everyone who is celebrating. Here’s one extremely belated post – on the day (back in late February) when Keith bought me the miniature orchid, he bought hydroponic tulips as well, knowing that my favorite spring flowers are tulips. It was a little underwhelming at first, hahaha because they […]
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
We first encountered the original version last Christmas when we were gifted the cookies by our wonderful friends down the street. Every bite was an indulgence that I just had to ask Liz if I can have the recipe and she directed me to Smitten Kitchen. Here, I adapted the recipe slightly to what is […]
Beautiful Orchids
So, last Saturday, I told Keith that I think he needs to surprise me with something when he runs his errands today. 😂 He declared that he always keeps his eyes open for things for me but they never meet my criteria, hahaha because my criteria are they have to be inexpensive (because I don’t […]
Pandan Coconut Doughnuts
Ta-dah- homemade pandan coconut doughnuts! My only day off and I spent half of it making/frying doughnuts, lol. The dough contains mashed potatoes, which I love because it keeps the end result moist and fresh for longer than a few hours. Toooooo delicious – absolutely worth my time! 😂❤️😋 Adapted from Mashed Potato Doughnuts recipe […]
