So, don’t hate me, but I can’t get the craze around Fifty Shades of Gray. I’m a bookworm, so I like to try to read the book before watching the movie (if I know ahead of time that a movie’s based on a book). Of course, I immediately got Fifty Shades to read it beforeContinue reading “Fifty Shades of Blah”

Let me NOT give you some parental advice
Something I’ve always found annoying, even though people do it with the best of intentions, is that people like to give you unsolicited advice throughout pregnancy and parenthood. Don’t get me wrong – I catch myself doing it every once in a while too, though I try not to. It’s not so much the adviceContinue reading “Let me NOT give you some parental advice”
Resources for Parents
Interestingly enough, although I don’t really use it now besides as a hobby and keeping up on scientific news, I have a science undergraduate degree. My hubs has an engineering one. You can guess that the combination of those two means that we read and researched A LOT during pregnancy and even now. Honestly, it’sContinue reading “Resources for Parents”
Baby’s first Lunar New Year!
Happy Lunar New Year to anybody who celebrates it! It’s a bit bittersweet this year, because this is a really important day in my (Vietnamese) culture, and it would’ve been even more special since it’s Goober’s (my baby) first new year. However, due to COVID, we’re not gathering. Being in a mixed race relationship, myContinue reading “Baby’s first Lunar New Year!”
Planning Relaxing Vacations
You know what I always find funny? When people feel like they need a vacation from their vacation. I find that it’s because people jam back their vacations (especially when they travel internationally) by trying to hit all the “must see” items because they feel like they should. That hasn’t been my philosophy, and I’veContinue reading “Planning Relaxing Vacations”
Raindrops (from the showerhead) are falling on my head
So we decided (aka had to) update the showerhead in our master shower recently. The current one was a handheld showerhead that developed a crack and needed replacing. We decided to go with a rainfall showerhead. Normally, this would be an easy fix and not really worthy of a blog post, but remember how IContinue reading “Raindrops (from the showerhead) are falling on my head”
No Gifting Relationship
So, I’ve talked before about how I think my hubs and I have an unconventional relationship. One of the best things, in my mind, is not giving each other gifts! I should clarify – we don’t usually get gifts for all the occasions that people would normally think – birthdays, Valentine’s day, Christmas, anniversaries, etc.Continue reading “No Gifting Relationship”
Relationships = Hard Work
Valentine’s day is next week, so obviously, relationships are on my mind. I’m not one to gush and cheese over my hubs (though he is the best!) or rave about my own relationship. Frankly, being in one takes a lot of work. I think it’s worth it, but you have to be with someone who’sContinue reading “Relationships = Hard Work”
Virtual Book Lovers Clubs
Yesterday, I wrote about social media and how it was nice to have a parenting community. Today, it’s all about books! I love reading – I can easily spend days and days reading and not get sick of it. When I was a kid (well..honestly, now too), I would get so lost in a bookContinue reading “Virtual Book Lovers Clubs”
Parenting, PPD, and Social Media
Interestingly enough, social media has been a lifesaver for me as a new mom and during the time of COVID. While I do have friends and family I can always ask questions to, sometimes I feel like I ask too many and don’t want to be a bother. It’s nice to have another resource orContinue reading “Parenting, PPD, and Social Media”
