Women’s Health

Women’s health is always an interesting topic in my mind. I don’t want to go down the rabbit hole too much, but basically, not as much research has been done for women’s health as general (men’s) health. In fact, some research in the beginning used to just describe women as “men with pesky hormones” andContinue reading “Women’s Health”

Fixing loose springs/contacts in battery powered items

So, I like to get used or hand me down toys (and clothes) for my baby for a variety of reasons – mostly because I never know what will actually interest him and those toys add up! Some toys I get from generous coworkers and family and friends. Others, I pick up from my localContinue reading “Fixing loose springs/contacts in battery powered items”

Garlic Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque

My hubs loves grilled cheese. I’m somewhat neutral about it, but I did find this garlic grilled cheese recipe that makes me love grilled cheese too. The other part of it for me, though, is enjoying it with a delicious tomato soup or bisque recipe. I brought it up to some coworkers, one of whomContinue reading “Garlic Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque”

Superstitions about Pregnancy and Baby

I’m going to start off with the disclaimer that I don’t believe in superstitions. I DO find them interesting however. Like, if your baby does the downward dog pose, it means he’s “looking for a sibling” (aka you’ll get pregnant soon). I just thought it was cute he was doing a yoga pose. The questionContinue reading “Superstitions about Pregnancy and Baby”

Brownies – Take 2 and Lessons Learned

So, I’ve been trying to find a good brownie recipe to add to my repertoire. I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe and a snickerdoodle recipe I love, but no brownie one yet. I wrote about the last one I tried – it was decent but not addictive. Well – I found an addictive recipeContinue reading “Brownies – Take 2 and Lessons Learned”

Racism against Asians

So even though I knew this was happening through my various feeds, it’s still sad to see how much hate crimes against Asians has increased in the last year. Unlike other people, I wasn’t surprised to see how much racism still exists. This has always been a concern of mine for my son. I worryContinue reading “Racism against Asians”

When my man got mansplained

So being a woman, I’m used to sometimes being ignored or mansplained to. Especially when it comes to things that people stereotypically think is the man’s domain. But there was one time when it happened to my hubs! We were planning to redo the flooring on the first floor. It was originally a red woodContinue reading “When my man got mansplained”

Unselfconscious Parenting

So I’ve discovered that you gotta have a strong sense of self-image if you’re going to be a parent. A baby is going to find all your “problem” spots and target it. Generally, I just find it hilarious, but I can definitely see how others might not! For example, a few weeks ago, I’m layingContinue reading “Unselfconscious Parenting”

“Sex is like a bowl of rice” (aka the Sex Talk)

Do you remember when your parents (or someone else) gave you the sex talk? I don’t really recall mine, but boy, do I remember my sister’s! My dad decides to lead in with “Sex is like a bowl of rice – you can have it now, but you can also have it later and itContinue reading ““Sex is like a bowl of rice” (aka the Sex Talk)”

Networking with Lunchclub

I recently started trying a new thing called Lunchclub. The idea is that an AI would match you based on topics you select and other information you provide to people that match those interests. As an introvert, I find networking a necessary evil. I know it’s important for my professional life, but the idea ofContinue reading “Networking with Lunchclub”
