About Me

Hi, I’m Felicia – a mom of two boys, wife, doctor, adventure enthusiast, food lover, and photographer. I spend a lot of time and energy researching fun things and interesting things for my family to do, explore, and eat – so I created this blog to share some information that might be helpful to others.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'' - MLK Jr⁣ 💛 ⁣ One of our boys is sick with a fever and they are both off from school for MLK day. I came to work at the hospital - as there are no holidays for sickness or suffering. Jason took the day off. ⁣ ⁣ Our feed, like most others, is our highlight reel- a celebration of favorite memories and moments. Behind the scenes, we are two physician parents who are committed to serving others. Between Jason’s job as a general surgeon 👨🏻‍⚕️ and mine as an emergency and consult psychiatrist 👩🏻‍⚕️ - one or both of us has to work almost every minor/ school holiday, and work 1/3-1/2 of all major holidays. This is a life we have accepted, and we don’t mind, because we are grateful for the opportunity to make a significant difference in another person’s life. ⁣ ⁣ We work a lot more than it may be apparent on our feed. That plays into why we cherish our time off and adventures as a family so much. Last night, I had a conversation with our son Alex when he asked why dad had to go to a meeting, and why I had to work on MLK day. I explained that this is often the life in medicine, and asked him if he still was thinking of being a doctor. Alex said “yes” without hesitation. I asked “even though daddy works so much?” (Jason works many nights and weekends as well). He said “Dad’s job is so interesting, he keeps on going back for more, and he saves people’s lives. I want to do that”. ⁣❤️ ⁣ Note: We have never once asked our children to consider medicine and recognize they are super young to know what they want to do when they grow up. Their minds can and likely will change, but I am glad that they don’t look at our work as something they takes away from family time, but appreciate the importance of serving and helping others. 🌟 #martinlutherkingjr #lifeofservice #couplesinmedicine #fatherandson

Team apres ski x cotton candy clouds = 🎿🏔🌄👌⁣ ⁣ One of my favorite mom memories was when Brian, then age 3.5, announced to our ski group - “Hurry, we have to get home to watch the sunset from the hot tub”. That’s when my sister in law pointed out that I had a little “mini me”.⁣ ⁣ Brian frequently and spontaneously comments on nature’s beauty. As we headed to the airport one early morning - he asked everyone in the car to “look at the beautiful sunrise🌅”. ⁣ ⁣ Now, Brian and I try to make savoring the sunset an apres ski tradition. Meanwhile, Alex and dad like to stay out and night ski in the mountains until they are completely out of energy.⁣ ⁣ It warms my heart that both my boys both love and appreciate nature and the outdoors so much, albeit in different ways. #outdoorkidsarehappykids #naturelovers #cottoncandyclouds #bigcottonwoodcanyon

Swipe for an honest depiction and reveal of a full 🎢 range of emotions ☺️😫😭🤪😉 - when skiing with a four year old. There were some low moments, but overall Brian did have a good time with some genuine smiles on the last run! ⁣ PS - doesn’t he look exactly like the skier emoji ⛷🥰⁣ ⁣ #somanyfeels #thestrugglebus #fueledbyhotchocolate #honestparenting

Utah - so awesomely beautiful that it has turned even a cold weather averse person like me (#imcoldwhenitdropsbelow70 🥶) into a winter wonderland enthusiast 😍❄️. I’m actually trying to plan another ski trip for the family - who have I become?!?! 🤣⁣ ⁣ But seriously, to share this view with my family on this ski trip to @brightonresort was 🥰🎿🏔❄️🙌⁣ ⁣ PS all photos on the mountain were taken with the📱iphone11pro ⁣ ⁣ #tinywongsinbigplaces #skiutah #utahisrad #winterwonderland ⁣

Cute cousin ski squad goals 😍⛷🙌 Swipe to see the kiddos skiing together!⁣ ⛷ ⁣ We have a tradition of going on an annual ski trip with my brother’s family, and started both our boys on skis at age 3. We’ve been to Park City, Northstar, and Snow Summit - all which are wonderful. But Brighton takes the cake for being the most family friendly resort! Kids 10 and under ski free. The ski school is more affordable than others and effective (both our kids had notable improvement after just a half day class!) . In our group, we had two 4 year olds, 6, 7 and 10 year old twins. There were plenty of greens and blues runs which allowed us to ski together as a group of 14! And the snow...nothing beats Utah powder! ⁣ Skiing can be expensive and takes quite a bit of planning with clothing, gear, equipment rentals etc. I’m sharing our experience to try to help other families get out on the slopes! Let me know if you have any questions about skiing with kids - if there’s interest- I can try to write up a blog post! ⛷ ❄️ #skiingwithkids #skikids #1000hoursoutside #optoutside

We kicked off 2020 with a night skiing session at @brightonresort! Can you spot Alex ⛷? I love how magical the mountains and snow capped trees look at night, but boy was it cold 🥶! My fingers nearly froze off getting this shot!⁣ ⁣ On another note, how is it mid January already?!!! We’ve had a whirlwind start to the new year with this family and friends ski trip ❄️, followed by a couple days of work 👩🏻‍⚕️, before heading down as a family to Mexico for a fun commercial shoot 🎬🏝. ⁣ ⁣ Now we are back to our regular work and school life, and it feels good to be home and back to a routine! I finally have some time to look at Instagram, and am excited to share more photos and videos from our latest adventures! ⁣ ⁣ #tinywongsinbigplaces #nightskiing #winterwonderland #familyskitrip

Our Southern California boys couldn’t get enough of the freshly fallen snow in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah! We live in a temperate climate near the beach, so the only chance our boys get to see snow is when we travel to the mountains during the winter. 🏔❄️ Alex and Brian loved running through the knee deep snow, and letting the snowflakes fall on their tongue. Their @merrell Big Kid’s Snow Quest lite 2.0 Waterproof Boots (link in profile) kept their feet warm and dry, as they happily played in the knee deep snow! #merrellkids #sponsored #snowdayfunday

Bliss = our 4 year old skeptical skier happily making snow angels instead” 🤣🥰 Brian, 4.5, on our most recent ski trip. ⛷❄️ ⁣ ⁣ Do you have any ski trips planned for this ❄️🎿season? If yes, where are you headed? We tried @brightonresort in Utah for the first time this winter and loved it! It’s super family friendly (kids ski free, lift and ski school classes are much less compared to park city resorts) and there are many green/ blue runs for the whole family to enjoy!⁣ ⁣ Be prepared for a whole bunch of winter wonderland pics to hit my feed! ⁣ ⁣ #heprefersapresski #snowangel #skikids #latergramcuzwearenowincancun 😎🍹

Our adventuremobile 🚐🥳🙌 #minivanlife. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ To be honest, I would love to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle and trailer one day for epic road trips and off roading adventures. It’s been a dream of mine since I was a little girl - though I’m not sure where I got the idea 🤔, because growing up as a child of Chinese immigrants in New England - our family priority was “study hard, work hard”, I didn’t know anyone who had a camper, nor could we have afforded one. Perhaps it stems from my inherent wander and wonderlust, and that the vacations we took tended to be road trips.✨⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ For now, our minivan will do. It can’t go off road, and struggles in the snow, but it has brought us to many wondrous places 🏜🏝🏔, and most importantly - fits the family plus grandparents so that we can enjoy these experiences together.⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣ I wanted to share this photo because I think it’s important to demonstrate diversity in adventure and the outdoors. With social media, one can fall into the trap of idealizing the notions of travel and adventure, and thinking it may be out of reach. The reality is that you don’t really need any special gear (my dad has hiked in $15 Costco 👟 ), special fitness level (I haven’t gone to the gym since my nearly 7 year old was born), nor a lot of time off (my husband and I are both full-time physicians 👨🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️). You just have to have the mindset and enthusiasm to get out there and open your eyes, heart and mind to the adventure that awaits - however big or small, local or epic, the adventure may be. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We are not necessarily who one would imagine as outdoors ambassadors - but as a family, we get outside and active on a regular basis, regardless of our race, ethnicity or culture, traditional jobs (surgeon, psychiatrist), school aged children, 67 year age span (4 to 71) and minivan 🚐. We continue to study hard and work hard 😉, but we play and love hard too ❤️ ⁣⁣ My message to anyone who may be hesitating to be more “outdoorsy” - if we can do it, anyone can! I hope to see you outside in 2020 💚😉! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #thisadventurelife #roadtrippers #optoutside #thesincerestoryteller

We have some new followers, so I thought I’d do an introduction! ⁣ ⁣ I’m Felicia - the mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, doctor, photographer, storyteller, nature lover and adventurer behind this account. 🙋🏻‍♀️⁣ My husband Jason is also a doctor, and we have two enthusiastic and energetic boys who are 4.5 and almost 7. ⁣ Ever since I was little, I’ve always seen the good in others and beauty that exists in the world. 💫I find wonder everywhere and in the little things, and love to share beautiful and inspiring things - which largely drives how I spend my free time, and what I post here on Instagram. ⁣ ⁣ Through various experiences of struggle in my life and what I’ve witnessed in my role as a doctor, I recognize and appreciate that 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭. I reflect on what I am grateful at the end of each day, and this has led me to find an overall feeling of peace and contentment 🙏. ⁣ ⁣ There is nothing I love and value more than 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬, and I am lucky I get to do this both at home and through my work as a psychiatrist, as well as here on Instagram!⁣ ⁣ One of the things I do in my spare time (often late night after a day of work and kids are asleep) is plan adventures like this one at Valley of Fire (swipe for more pics). I not only #bringthekids on trips, I also #bringthegrandparents and plan trips with my brother’s family and friends as well. Through Instagram, I’ve gotten feedback from many people who have told me they have travelled to a certain place, camped for the first time, or gone on a certain adventure because of what I’ve shared, and that makes me so happy! I started a blog (link in profile) in order to be able to share even more helpful information. ⁣ ⁣ Thank you for following along, and please let me know if you have any questions along the way, because I love hearing back, helping people get outdoors, and making new friends! ❤️
