My good friend and photographer Melanie Ko came up to our place earlier this month to do a quick, casual photoshoot for the three of us and my pregnant belly before #2 arrives. Check out some of the highlights!
Another Photoshoot at Home!
3 girls 3 things
Hey everyone! So we decided to start this column
called 3 girls 3 things because we always find neat links but never know where
to share it! I hope you like it and feel free to give us some feedback on what
you’d like us to share :)
Louis CK on the difference between boys and girls.
With #2 arriving in 2 weeks, I guess I have a lot to look forward to with 2 girls in the house!

Maybe you've seen this, maybe you haven't.. but either way, hey it's pretty darn cool! The only thing I worry about is giving this all in one credit card to the server or salesmen and having them accidentally swipe it incorrectly!

My boyfriend and I have been seeking DIY projects after our first
one - sprucing up an original-style Hong Kong mailbox. (photos to come) I
needed some more inspiration on what to do next and I stumbled on this
one. I don't have a laundry bag stand around, but this project really
made me think about what I could do with some old /somewhat broken
household items before I toss them. Check it out, pretty ingenious to
reuse this simple laundry bag stand and turn it into a stylish modern
table stand! Love it. But...I wonder how stable it is.

Sweater Weather
It's finally sweater weather in LA! Sooo excited to bust out my coats, jackets, sweaters, scarves, long socks and hats! Yeee! I've been into oversized sweaters lately.. I like being comfortable when I go out, so I can eat and move freely and not worry about anything :) Especially if I bring my camera out, I like to squat, kneel, and get into all kinds of angles to get the perfect shot.
Love my mom's vintage sunglasses!

peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
I think I have the biggest sweet tooth in my family.. and I'd like to blame it on all the yummy desserts my sister made when we were growing up :) One of my favorite kinds are soft and chewy cookies (not hard and crispy). They’re always good with milk, ice-cream and sometimes (or maybe always) good for breakfast. They’re
a great snack for in between long hours of staring at the computer. AND they
make great gifts for any kind of holiday/season/birthday/thank you. We used to always have desserts on our breakfast bar at home, and Trisha was the one who made the most delicious
cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. The family joked about helping her start her own bakery - but I was only a quarter joking. We used to have so many
people living at home including our grandparents and their caretakers that desserts
would never go to waste! But now that we are all oceans apart, we don’t have as many people at home to enjoy
our baking... Therefore Trish will bring her desserts to church and I will
bring my desserts to work!
This recipe was a request from some of my biggest cookie
fans in LA :) -
peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. It took me awhile to find the
perfect recipe but I found this one and posting these photos are making me crave one! These were definitely a big hit at the office!
Here’s what you need:
1 cup all-purpose flour (I used whole wheat flour)
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
½ cup rolled oats (I used gluten free rolled oats)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
½ cup rolled oats (I used gluten free rolled oats)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
What to do:1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt together and set
aside.
3. Cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated
sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract for about 5-7 minutes. (With an electric
mixer, set on Medium speed and mix for 3 minutes). Add the egg and beat to
combine. Gradually add the flour until just combined (Electric mixer on low).
Stir in the oats, and then the chocolate chips.
4. Drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets about
2 inches apart. Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
*DING* They’re done!! You can either eat them while they’re warm (one of
my favorite things to do after baking) or let them cool completely on a cookie
rack and keep them at room temperature in a sealed container.
yummmm :) thanks browneyedbaker!
