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.

Rainier cherries, Cherry Valley, Southern California 🍒 Cherries = summer to me. Other things that we love about summer = pool days 🏊‍♂️ , beach picnics 🧺, barbecues 🍔 , outdoor movies 🎥 , warm nights 🌅, ice cream and popsicles 🍨 , tan lines , camping ⛺️ , strawberry picking 🍓, and eating lots and lots of watermelon 🍉 What things = summer to you? ☀️ #upickcherries #rainiercherries #welovesummer #cherrypicking #summervibes

Happy Friday friends! Do you have any fun adventures planned for the weekend? I’ve wanted to pick cherries 🍒 for the past few years, but due to the drought in Southern California, the cherry orchards were either closed or had very limited fruit, and the timing never worked out. This year, we had a lot of rain and cool weather, which resulted in a bountiful season for cherries! 🍒🍒 Whereas the SoCal cherry season usually only lasts into early June, this year it continued into early July! Although we were still jet lagged from China and Jason was on call when we went a couple weekends ago, I recruited my parents to join me and the kids 1.5 hours east to pick cherries and stroll through lavender fields in Cherry Valley. I’m so thankful that I have a family of good sports who are game for the adventures I propose! ☺️ At the end of the day, the cherries were sweet, but the experience was even sweeter ❤️ It made me happy and warmed my heart to watch my dad walking up and down the rows of trees to find the best fruit for the boys to pick, and my mom showing the boys how to pick the ripe fruit. #supportlocalfarms #wongfarmvisits #upickcherries #cherryseason🍒 #makememories #grandparentsarethebest

A little feast for the eyes, body, mind, and soul. This is my kind of comfort food - recipe below 🌈🥕🌽🍑🥬 I’m thankful that I was brought up on healthy homemade Chinese food, and minimal processed foods and artificial flavors/colors. I’m lucky that I’m still able come home from work several days a week to sit down with my kids to delicious dinners by my dad. Our family loves food, which is why it always sneaks into our adventure feed and stories. I also love to cook. 👩🏻‍🍳 I find it relaxing, and a creative outlet. I see food as an important extension of the healthy lifestyle we value and prioritize. Recently, I’ve been paying more attention to diet and health, as my parents are aging, I’m not getting younger 🤣 and I want the best for my kids and patients! There seem to be so many benefits to a plant based diet. We aren’t vegan or vegetarian, but vegetables and whole foods take center stage in our household. For example, this dinner was veggies with a side of ribs. 😉 I tried this new recipe for carrots the other day and it was a huge hit. Super fast and easy too! I got a few requests for the recipe in stories, so I’m sharing it here again. 🥕Honey balsamic roasted carrots from the Glorious vegetables of Italy cookbook, c/o @seriouseats 🥕 Ingredients 1 pound (455 g) carrots, cut in half crosswise, each half cut lengthwise into quarters 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon good-quality flavorful honey 2 teaspoons aged balsamic vinegar, plus more for sprinkling 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt, plus more for sprinkling Freshly ground black pepper Directions 1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) 2. Put the carrots in a roasting pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, and 2 teaspoons vinegar. Pour over the carrots. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Toss gently to combine. Roast the carrots for 10 minutes; toss, and roast for 15 minutes more, or until the carrots are tender and browned in spots. 3. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle a few more drops of vinegar and some sea salt on top. Serve hot or warm. #roastvegetables #summersalads #eatyourveggies #foodasmedicine #nourishingfoods

From sweet to chaos in 0.001 seconds 💙💙⚡️ When I ask my boys for a photo, I’ve learned that I generally only have about 0.001 seconds of calm before they go full blown goofballs on me. 🤣 I love the outtakes just as much, though, because it’s childhood and it’s authentic! Swipe to see the love and playfulness between the two. The little bro cheek smoosh in the fifth pic just kills me. 🥰😂 #instagramvsreality #letthekids #siblinggoals #embracethechaos

We found a little bit of Southern France in Southern California! ✨🌿💜✨ We’ve been home from China for almost two weeks now, and it’s been a bit of a blur. Jason and I both returned to work the very next day, juggling complex caseloads with jet lagged kids 🤪 I’ve done a kazillion loads of laundry and 80% of the unpacking, but we still have things all over the floor. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Jason is in the midst of one of the busiest stretches of work in a while, working weekdays and weekends, as well as taking call (working overnights as well) more than 1 in every 2 days! I guess this is what we get for taking two weeks off work as doctors. But, it was worth it, and life will return to a more manageable pace shortly. Last weekend, while Jason was working, I convinced my parents to join me and the boys in a little local adventure to explore lavender fields and pick cherries. It was idyllic, and for the afternoon, we felt transported to southern France! I’m excited to be back home in Southern California, and enjoy the summer here. There are so many beautiful places and I can’t wait to get out and explore! What are some of your favorite local spots that you like to escape to? #wongweekendadventures #lavenderfestival #lavenderfields #getinthephoto

The Bund, Shanghai, China 🇨🇳 Thanks for following along our adventure and travels through China! I am finally finished posting from that trip, and stayed up way too late last night writing up a blog post with all the details about our itinerary, travel tips and packing list recommendations! Link in profile or https://everydayadventurefam.com/2019/07/06/china/ I hope it is helpful to anyone who is considering or planning a trip to visit China. I share our experience with facial recognition at hotel checkin, lack of tissues or napkins, difficulty finding forks, squat toilets, and more! You can find our entire trip with the hashtag #wongsvisitchina 🌎 #thebund #shanghai #travelchina

“A walk in nature walks the soul back home” - Mary Davis 🌿 I loved that our relatives brought us to the Shimengdong forest park of Qingtian, Zhejiang province, China to hike up and down a mountain together. ❤️ Despite being a hot, humid and challenging hike, it felt so good to connect with nature where my ancestors have lived. #wongsvisitchina #hikingaroundtheworld #adventuretogether #naturelovers

Yangmei (aka wax berries Or chinese bayberries) picking with family in the mountains of Qingtian China. 🍒 A fun fact about me is that I love picking fruit. I find it meditative and relaxing, and I enjoy eating tree /vine ripened fruit, so it’s a win-win activity. 😊 I’m still trying to convince my husband Jason - though every time we go, I see him applying his surgical focus and intensity into picking the ripest fruit... so maybe he’s joined team upick as well 🤣 Qingtian (where my dad’s family and ancestors are from) is famous for these berries. When my relatives heard that I like picking berries (I think my dad told them), they were determined to take us. Despite the pouring rain and aggressive mosquitos, we trekked up the mountainside to have this memorable experience! ☺️ swipe to see more! What’s the most exotic fruit you’ve ever picked? #wongsvisitchina #upick #offthebeatenpath #waxberry #iphonepics

Towards the end of our trip, we visited my father’s family’s hometown of Qingtian, in the Zhenjiang province, where some of our distant relatives still live. It was so nice meeting them, learning more about our family history, and visiting the family ancestral hall❤️ For each meal we were spoiled with a huge spread of homemade Chinese food including some local Qingtian specialities that we had never tasted before! China travel tip: if you aren’t skilled with using chopsticks🥢 , I highly recommend bringing your travel cutlery 🍴. We were always looking for forks for our younger kids, and they aren’t readily available. As I finish sharing pics from our China adventures, I’m planning to write up a blog post with some tips. Do you have any questions about visiting China? I hope my pics have provided a brief introduction to the beauty, culture and history that is there to be explored and enjoyed! 🇨🇳 #wongsvisitchina #foodiefamily #localcuisine #authenticchinesefood

Joy = Adventuring with your best friend / brother. Here, our boys are running through a bamboo grove in China in the rain, and having the best time ever! 💚💙 Who are your adventure buddies? Tag them below in comments! #siblinggoals #adventuretogether #runwildmychild #joyfulkids #wongsvisitchina

Wuzhen Water Town, Zhejiang Province, China. Swipe to see Instagram (calm, serene) vs the reality of traveling with kids (splashing in water, and lots of ice cream bribes 🍦🤣) We visited Wuzhen as a day trip from Hangzhou (It is about 80 kilometers (50 miles). Wuzhen is an ancient town with more than six thousand years of history! Its picturesque and ancient appearance has been well preserved. The houses are constructed of black bricks and grey tiles with contrasting white walls. Stone bridges allow you to cross from one side to another, and small boats float on the calm river. It was pouring rain during our visit, but we great enjoyed the beautiful scenery and learning about the history. #wongsvisitchina #wuzhenwatertown #wuzhen #zhejiang #travelwithkids
