Teething update: last week I felt a tiny tooth poking out…but the next the day it was gone! What the?!? As usual, I turned to the interwebs to make sure I wasn’t going loco and it turns out that it’s perfectly normal for a tooth to reverse itself. Great. The good news is that Claire […]
I’ve been feeling under the weather the past few days — hence the lack of quality posts. I have read often that one of the biggest downsides of being a SAHM is that you do not get sick days. However, in my case, I have been very fortunate to have family who are giving me […]
As promised, here is my follow-up post to Sleep Training Progress. Before continuing to read, please be advised that in no way am I a sleep expert, and that you should always do your own research and make an educated decision based on your baby and your family’s unique and specific needs. This post only […]
A couple of weeks ago, we had some friends come visit with their (almost) 2-year-old girl. As the men engaged in their own conversation, the fellow mom turned to me to ask how I was adjusting to life with Claire. “Things were rough in the beginning, but it’s certainly getting better. It’s amazing how much […]
It has now been exactly one week since we started sleep-training Claire. Although we haven’t made any miraculous changes to her sleeping habits, her sleeping has certainly gotten better. Starting Friday, she has started to take at least 1+ hour nap per day and only protests napping in her crib about 20% of the time. […]
No matter how angry, upset, or frustrated she makes me, I can never stay mad at her for too long. Especially when I catch her sleeping like this. (I am currently lying in bed, about to doze off myself. Nap-training doesn’t seem to be getting much better, but I have renewed hope after reading a […]
I didn’t mean to offend anyone with my last post. I think I may have made a mistake by choosing to title the post “Keepin’ it Real,” because it was not my intention to imply that my blog is more “real” or better than any other blogs out there. Yes, this blog is real because […]
A couple of weeks ago, I posed the following question on Facebook and Twitter: How do my internet mommy friends make the time to Facebook, Twitter, AND blog? I feel like I can only do one consistently without losing even more sleep. Admittedly, I didn’t get as many responses as I had hoped. (Sometimes I […]
Just in case you weren’t aware, today marks an important holiday for the Asian community: lunar new year. This year is the year of the rabbit, and while I hardly pay attention to astrology (western or eastern), I can’t help but share this awesomely cute picture with you: (image source) Because today is such an […]
I have a love/hate relationship with weekly emails from BabyCenter. If you are pregnant, or are a parent, you know exactly what I’m talking about. By this week your baby is… And you read on to feel smug if your baby has already reached that milestone/developmental stage, or you are ashamed and feel like the […]
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.
