I have written in the past about our OCD Nut (Claire) and Mini-Godzilla (Aerin). This character difference not only applies to how my girls clean/mess up their toys, but also extends to how they play and conduct themselves. Aerin is a daredevil while Claire still remains one of the most cautious kids I know. Aerin […]
Claire has been thriving at her Montessori preschool. I recently went in for the mid-year parent-teacher conference, and her teacher couldn’t say enough positive things about her. For example, although Claire is one of the youngest kids in the class, she’s always one of the first to understand and complete new assignments and activities. Not only that, […]
A few weeks ago, Aerin had her 6-month evaluation by the state’s early intervention services. To be completely fair, it hasn’t been 6 months since we started therapy — it had taken a month to find our therapists, and we had missed a lot of sessions in the months of December and January due to […]
Each of these items run less than $10. They’re all used and loved by yours truly, and I will definitely be making repurchases when they run out. I can’t recommend these enough! Palladio Rice Paper, $4 I’ve used blotting paper in the past — all the popular ones like the Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing […]
I was incorrect in guessing that my glasses frames from Warby Parker hadn’t yet shipped, because they arrived yesterday! Once again, I apologize for my sucky selfies. My favorites are the ones on the top two rows. 🙂 As mentioned in yesterday’s post, I also ordered at-home try on frames from Classic Specs: The frames […]
The past two months were some of the roughest of my life. My family and close friends were plagued with various health problems and hospitalizations, two of which resulted in death…and one a stillbirth. 😥 J and I are getting buried in medical bills (did you know what if a hospital stay runs from the […]
And how do you compare to the national average? Office supplies retailer Staples has created an online test that measures how many words you read per minute and how you rank up to the masses. The directions are simple: after reading a selection of text, you answer 3 simple questions to verify that you did, […]
In the past 6 weeks, my family has had 4 hospital stays. J is actually still in the hospital and has been admitted for over a week. Additionally, the virus I had caught a few weeks back migrated to my left eye. I am still being treated — it hurts to look at screens, to […]
1995. I remember it was my last year in junior high. I remember being awkward and unsure, desperately wanting to fit in, longing to be just like everyone else yet still wanting to leave a unique imprint as a burgeoning adult. I remember sneaking peeks at issues of YM and Seventeen at the school library. And I remember […]
I don’t have much time, so I’ll make this quick… Aerin’s surgery on Monday went very well. She is recovering nicely and has been running around like nothing has happened. But that same night, we had to rush J to the E.R. and he has been in the hospital since with a kidney infection. They’re […]
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.
