As Claire grows older, it’s becoming apparent that our elder daughter is quite the character. If she’s not awing those around her with her keen sense of observation and imagination, she is cracking us up with her anecdotes and attitude. I’ve decided to share with you some of my favorite stories from the past few […]
I couple of weeks ago, Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt tied the knot in front of their closest and dearest…in addition to 3 million U.S. viewers. 🙂 If you haven’t watched the episode yet, go do it now — it’s available on Hulu free of charge! — and have some tissues handy, because I totally […]
They say that the average age difference between siblings is 2-3 years. And wouldn’t you know it — now that Claire is 28 months old, many of my mommy friends whose first children are around her age have steadily been giving birth to their seconds in these past few months. I’m happy for my friends […]
They say that when your toddler mispronounces or incorrectly says a word, you should gently correct them so that they will learn. But how can you, when what they is soooo much better than what is intended? dog: akiWe’re not entirely sure how Claire got from “dog” to “aki” when the two words are so different. […]
It’s no secret that I absolutely ADORE Lego’s clever marketing campaigns — can you believe that this is my fifth post applauding them? (see: 1, 2, 3, 4) Even if you may be getting sick of my Lego craze, I believe that this series of posters deserves a special mention because it engages the audience and […]
New York photographer Tricia Messeroux recently recreated some of the best celebrity looks from the 2013 Golden Globes…using kids. Adorable, darling kids who could totally pass as the stars’ younger selves (and have the attitude to match!).

This past week has been hell for me — not only was am I ill with a cold, Aerin has suddenly become super clingy with me. For instance, I’ll be standing behind her and she’ll start screaming because she can’t see me. I can’t even pee in peace because she’ll be trying to climb all over me. […]
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 […]
So Claire surprised me with a bouquet of flowers on my birthday. (Her grandparents had paid for it, but they told me that she had picked it out and she presented it to me while shouting, “Heppy buh-she-dey umma!”) Of course I immediately placed the flowers in a vase and displayed them prominently on our kitchen […]
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.
