I hope everyone had a great Labor Day! We had a fun-packed weekend of parties, cakes, and Korean BBQ. 🙂 For those who traveled this past vacation — especially with babies, no less — here’s a salute to you, and an inspiring story of consideration from the parents of 14-week-old twins. Yesterday, Redditor gigantomachy uploaded the following […]
Illustrator Emma Cook has designed a set of alphabet flash cards for the next generation of hipsters. I personally would have used NPR for the letter N, but I’m loving every other example. 🙂 Can you think of better alternatives for any of the letters?

This past weekend — at just shy of 9 months of age — Aerin finally sprouted her first two teeth. As I proudly ran my finger over Aerin’s new incisors (and got repeatedly bitten in the process, as having her mother’s finger shoved in her mouth is something that she obviously does not like), I […]
I used to dread cutting my children’s nails. I know that many mothers do it while their babies are asleep, but my kids sleep in dark rooms (with black-out curtains) so that idea is out. I also know some mom bite their babies’ nails. Well, those moms must have really sharp teeth because I have found […]
Welcome to the second half of my “Day in the Life” with a 18-month-old and a 5-month-old. You can go here to read the first half. When we left off, the girls were both napping while I was enjoying some alone time… 1:45pm: Both girls wake up from their nap at the same time! (This […]
Ever since I became a mother of “two under two,” I have received a few requests for a “Day in the Life” post, detailing what a typical day is like for me. Better late than never, right? 😉 This post chronicles the first half of Monday, April 2, 2012. Claire had just turned 18 months […]
The first few weeks without J’s parents weren’t too bad. I really thought that I could do this. But in the past week, Claire has started to act up. My parents think that it’s because up until now, Aerin was still a young infant — just kind of there, taking up room and requiring only the […]
As stated in my last post, this past week has been a whirlwind of sh*tstorms. Suffice it to say that the past few days have probably have been my most trying as a mother of two. Maybe I’ll write about the events that transpired in a future post, but there is a chance that I […]
I am by no means an expert on baby sleep, but the (very) general sleep pattern that my girls seemed to have followed is: 0 to 2 months old: sleeps most of the day, but also wakes up often. She is still getting used to being outside of the womb. 2 to 4 months old: the […]
Ed note: When this post was published earlier today, it somehow published a version without the Rafflecopter widget and instructions on how to enter the giveaway. 🙁 I have no idea what happened, and I apologize for the mistake. Here is the correct version. Your kids will be smart enough to know that A is […]
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.
