I saw an article titled “How Dumb Was Your First Online Handle?” yesterday on Gizmodo and I couldn’t help but let out a small giggle. It sure brought back some good memories… The year was 1996. Everyone was talking about the wonderful new invention called the internet. AOL was starting to gain in popularity, especially […]
Lately I have been losing my patience with Comang. So much so, that the thought of giving him away has entered my mind on more than a few occasions. 🙁 Our beloved shih-tzu has a classic case of first child syndrome. He is insanely jealous of the attention that Claire receives and is adding undue […]
Earlier today, I read about Egalia, a Swedish preschool that aims to break down gender stereotypes. At this taxpayer-funded preschool located in the liberal Sodermalm district of Stockholm, staff avoid using pronouns such as “him” or “her” and address the 33 children as “friends” rather than boys and girls. Every little detail — from the color and […]
J and I took Claire to visit some friends over the weekend, and when we were all saying our respective goodbyes, Claire started waving bye too! Immediately J and I looked at each other with raised eyebrows. We hadn’t been trying to teach her how to wave, so we thought it might just be some […]
The #1 craving I have had this pregnancy? Chips Ahoy! Chocolate Chip Cookies…without the chocolate chips. Does such a thing even exist? To be honest I have never liked chocolate much. I actually don’t like most sweets and have not craved many sweets with either pregnancy. But there is something about the carb-laden “cookie” part […]
Last week, BuyStarWarsCostumes.com contacted me and asked if I would be interested in reviewing a couple of their costumes. If you’re thinking that I would be stupid to turn down such an offer, you are correct. I chose the Toddler Princess Leia costume for Claire and the Darth Vader Dog costume for Comang. The costumes […]
It is no secret that my father loves his two daughters and openly tells people over and over again how having two girls has taught him to be more sensitive, more responsible, and a better man in general. And as it was with Claire, it was he who was the happiest to hear the news […]
Sometimes I can’t decide if Claire is incredibly lazy, extremely stubborn, exceptionally clever, or all of the above. Case in point: she never rolls anymore. I know that she is physically capable of doing it, because I have seen her purposely roll both ways several times. But I also know that she does not enjoy […]
Over the weekend, the NYTimes ran an article titled “Baby Makes Four, and Complications” which tells the story of a woman, her son, her sperm donor and his lover, citing them as an example of the changing face of the American family. This was no big news to me. After all, the idea of the traditional […]
It’s been almost 3 months since I’ve written anything in my WordPress for the Everyday Blogger series…eek! And since I have entirely re-designed this blog earlier this month, all that hard work almost seems obsolete. 😐 One of my New Year Resolutions has been to try my best to finish everything that I start. For this […]
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.
