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 […]
True or False?
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 […]
Engagement Photos of the Year [Zombies]
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 […]

As I am always excited to encounter new readers and see how and why they chose to visit, I excitedly clicked on the source link… …only to discover the blog of an extremely racist expat who is currently […]
Three Links

A Short Update on Our 10-Month-Old
In the past 24 hours… As I took both Claire and Comang for a short stroll, some neighborhood dogs noticed our shy shih tzu and started barking at him. Claire seemed to want to defend him, because she started barking back! (Or at least tried her best to mimic barking sounds.) When I “attacked” her […]
Letterpress Utility Cards [Wishlist]
A few years ago for my birthday, I received a set of blank cards. They were beautiful, no doubt, but I couldn’t help but be a bit disappointed, thinking, “What an unoriginal gift!” Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong, because I am still using those cards, for everything from “Thank You” cards to birthday cards […]
Updated: My Favorite Sites!
I spent a good portion of this rainy, dreary day updating the three pages of links on this blog (accessible through the top menubar). The biggest change comes with Bee Friends, which has been updated with the personal blogs of the newer — and by that, I mean within the last year — Weddingbee bloggers. […]
