If you love to bake, cook, craft and try new gadgets or new munchies, you’ll feel right at home here!
Hi! My name is Vivien. I live in Northern California with my 3 beautiful children and husband. I love food and snacks! My friends called me “The Snacking Queen” . When I see new snacks out I have to try it. Most importantly – boba is life! LOL!
I created this blog in hopes of fostering a community of like minded people. Through my passion in baking, cooking and all things DIY, I am most excited about building relationships and connections. Although I am not a professionally trained chef or baker, I have grown to fall in love with being creative and innovative in my little kitchen. It invigorates me to tackle a new cooking skill. Finding new ways to pivot until I discover the one method that works then I’m ready to conquer the next challenge. Hopefully by reading my blog I can share with you my tried and true versions or just sharing tips with you on different recipe comparisons. Let the fun begin.
Making food to share with families and friends was the thing for me growing up. I have been cooking since I was 10. I started baking 6 years ago and have done a lot of baking since. Being a mother of 3 has taught me a lot about time management. There is never a dull moment with having 3 kids around. The stories, the experience and everything that comes with it. Let’s face it, with 3 kids under the age of 12, I need all that I can think of to keep them busy and entertain. I came up with lots of fun activities throughout the years and would love to share with you going forward.
I studied fashion design and was a full-time senior accessories designer until I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2018. That had completely changed my life and the way I deal with stress. I went through surgery and chemo. Now I am in remission and trying to enjoy everything life has to offer. Since my diagnosis, I had connected with many women who is/was going through breast cancer. So glad that I was able to connect with them, we laugh and fight this together. As a stay at home mom now, I started this blog simply as a creative outlet, in hopes of sharing my experience, recipes, DIY crafts, product reviews (Yes! I love trying new things!), motherhood and just life in general.
