My cousin told me that when her daughter first entered preschool, and her teachers were attempting to teach her the concept of “sharing is caring,” she began to use it for her own advantage. In other words, whenever she saw another child playing with a toy she liked, she would march on over, tell the […]
Today I stumbled upon a neat Tunblr blog called Harry Potter Facts and spent a good portion of the morning reading through all its archives. Here are some of my favorites (most have to do with what happens to Harry and the gang after book 7): I’m not sure if there will be another book […]
A snippet of the conversation I had with my mother yesterday — Me: The governor has declared a state of emergency and we’re in a potential flood zone. But don’t worry, we’re stocking up on bottled water, food, and batteries. My Mother: (horrified) Does that mean I can’t see Claire this weekend? Geez, thanks for […]

Lately I have been wondering how I will tackle the inevitable question that all parents get asked by their young children: Where do babies come from? My parents will be the first to admit that I was an unusual child. Always preferring books over other children, and never having to be reminded to go study, do my […]
J loves our firstborn with all his heart. It is not unusual for him to spend an entire Saturday playing with her, then stare forlornly at the baby monitor after he has put her to bed and sigh, “I miss my baby.” That being said, he is much better at saying “no” than I will […]
I once read in a book that all humans are born with three innate fears: The fear of darkness The fear of heights/falling The fear of reptiles Now, this was a fiction title so I cannot verify the validity of the statement. But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Because while […]
It is no secret that J and I share a love for the zombie genre — books, movies, video games, and even reenactments. (Also, is it wrong that I totally want to get Pat the Zombie for Claire?) As such, I couldn’t help but find the engagement photos of Juliana S. Park and Benjamin J. Lee […]
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.
