About me

I’m Monette (“Mo” to some ), mother of two and lives in a town in the metropolitan Phoenix called Gilbert, Arizona.

I love good FOOD (eat and cook – in that order),  enjoy WINE (especially red) and will do almost anything for CHOCOLATE.  A foodie who tries my best in the kitchen but I would more enjoy the hunt for the great dining experience.  From food trucks to fine dining, I like them all.  But of course I have my collection of recipes and cookbooks too for those moments I feel like challenging my culinary skills.

My eClecTic taste is reflected in my home and fashion sense.  I like different, unique and FUN!

Art interest range from the old masters to contemporary artists.  Portraits, photography, structures and architecture….I like details.

In the past year I found a passion in hiking the mountains around Phoenix (Camelback Mountains my toughest so far) and the gym for spinning.  Sweat and fitness is the new sexy as they say so sweat I don’t mind.  In my better years, I’m focusing on a healthier lifestyle.

All beautiful things, all beautiful places, ADVENTURES (working on my bucket list) and getaways rock my world!  I am always looking for something NEW to try and experience.  My mantra is “Do something you’ve never done”, nothing is too small or insignificant.  Everything new brings a positive experience.

I am here to share my passion and inspirations, challenges, my “new” experiences, simply the things I LOVE!

I start each day saying today is going to be a GOOD day and I hope to bring a little sunshine to everyone around me.

Thanks for visiting my blog and see you again soon!

ENJOY!
