You guys, I discovered the best thing today… A Calvin and Hobbes search engine!!! Calvin and Hobbes remains my favorite comic strip despite the fact that it is no longer published. And as I have written in the past, one of my all-time favorite gifts from J is the Calvin and Hobbes Boxed Set. I can’t […]
Did you all have a good Thanksgiving? Have you found any good deals on Black Friday? Because today is Cyber Monday — and because we are approaching the end of the year with the holidays just around the corner — I’ve decided to compile a list of my favorite beauty products. The last time 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 […]
There are some things I find weird about myself (sometimes, in conjunction with others in my life) but I know there must be others out there who do the same…right? I occasionally weigh myself before and after pooping just to see if there’s a difference. (It’s never as much as I expect or hope.) Every few […]
I hope all my readers have plenty to be thankful for this year! (image source) As for me, I will be headed to two Thanksgiving dinners tonight. My mouth is already watering as I think about all the turkey + kimchi I will consume… (Yes, I eat them together and yes, it’s a rockin’ combo!) […]
Yesterday was a cool yet pleasant day. With temperatures in the low 50s and the sun shining overhead, I decided to take Aerin for a walk despite my lingering cold. (Claire was with her grandparents.) We walked the 22 blocks to my favorite children’s park and I sat Aerin down on a swing. She hadn’t […]
When I had written a short update on the morning of Aerin’s dol, I had been worried about Hurricane Sandy’s impact on the party. But while we could not hold my younger daughter’s first birthday at a banquet hall as we had originally planned… And more than half of our guests could not make it […]
It is no secret that I was not attracted to J when we first met. Even when we were friends, I would often wonder why other girls found him attractive. (And in case you’re feeling sorry for him, don’t be. He is well aware of this story and likes to remind people that despite all […]
One year ago today — at 9:20am, to be exact — our Aerin Isabel entered this world. You have taken me through laughter and tears. You have encouraged me to take life less seriously. But most of all, you have taught me that while there is no way to be a perfect mother, there are […]
We were extremely fortunate in the wake of Sandy. While the vast majority of our friends who reside in the area lost electricity, water, or both (a big thanks to social media for keeping everyone updated), we made it through the hurricane without much of a fuss, and are happy to report that we, as well […]
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.
