If you’re friends with me on Facebook, you may have noticed that I’d had a bit of baby fever lately. Say what? Me? The girl who hates the baby years and never looks back on her children’s infancies with nostalgia? What happened? Well, for one, my friends and relatives keep having ridiculously cute babies and I […]
I’m sure many of us are familiar with the Social Security Administration’s annual list of most popular baby names. The database, which dates back to 1880, can also be used to look up popular names by state and territories, as well as track the popularity of a name over time! (The name Jenny was most […]
The internet has a tendency to dramatize certain mundane life events, wouldn’t you say? 😉 And if you’re reading this, it probably means that you’re familiar with the trends and memes of the popular web which also leads me to believe you’ve heard of the “stepping on a LEGO piece while barefoot” mania.

Did I mention that J’s currently away on vacation? He’s back to his motherland — Hong Kong — and with travel time, he’ll be away for TEN WHOLE DAYS. 😯 This is the longest we’ve been apart since we got married (even when I stayed at my parents’ for 2 months last summer, we still […]
I’m not too keen on newborn/baby photo shoots (they mostly look the same to me and some of them can be downright creepy), but I’m all game when they’re super creative. (See: Kristin & Kayla, Mila’s Daydreams, and Baby Arthur.) The latest series of baby photos to make its social media rounds has been that of […]
Watching little minds learn is fascinating. Even when you try your best to stay impartial and unprejudiced, you can’t help but notice the vast differences between each and every person. Take Aerin, for instance. Now that she has officially conquered infancy and is starting to really soak in, process, react, and regurgitate what she learns, we have […]
What’s that you say? There are only a dozen days left before Christmas and we have yet to put up our tree? Please. That’s nothing to this family of procrastinators. And just in case there are others out there in the same boat — Bueller? Hello? I know we can’t be the only ones! — who may […]
Aerin was only 4 months old when I first wrote about her eczema. We had been hoping that she would grow out of the condition by 6 months old, or even 1 year old, but that has not been the case. 🙁 However, we have tried new products and changed her skin routine somewhat, so I […]
Ever since Aerin got sick last week, she has been super SUPER clingy to me. Before her illness, she was a pretty independent little girl. Now she needs to be held all the time — only by me, no less, and starts screaming her head off if she can’t see me. Even her two favorite […]
Here’s one for all the Game of Thrones fans who also happen to be parents. Because, “if Westeros had a picture book to teach preschoolers the house sigils and words, Eric Carle would write and illustrate it.” 🙂 Via Something Worth Having.

I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
