Famous last words. The hubs and I have done a lot of DIY projects and work on our car/home, etc. I’ll try to remember to update this post to link to the various projects as I discuss them. We’ve changed the brakes on my car, installed new lighting on our stairs landing and dining room,Continue reading ““It’s not supposed to be this bad!””

Postpartum
TLDR – I have postpartum depression and anxiety, and it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to try to overcome. Also, trigger warning, as I discuss intrusive thoughts and things. Although all the statistics were there – 1 in 7 women and 1 in 10 men get postpartum depression or anxiety (PPD/A) –Continue reading “Postpartum”
Asian squat
Ever heard of the Asian squat? Apparently, it’s a squatting position where your heels are flat on the ground, and something that Asians naturally do. I hadn’t realized it until I saw this video “Can you do the Asian squat?” and immediately went to my white hubs (though he was still my boyfriend at theContinue reading “Asian squat”
Maternity clothing…blah-ternity clothing
I didn’t really start showing or needing maternity clothing til close to the end of my second trimester. I will say though, the shirts and blouse options available were either not terrific looking or expensive (well… More than I was willing to spend on something I would only wear for a small amount of time).Continue reading “Maternity clothing…blah-ternity clothing”
Engagement
This post is a little bit of travel, since I’ll be talking about Cinque Terre, Italy and a little bit about relationships and humor, since it involves my engagement story. So, my engagement was actually a surprise to me – we’re a big “discuss major decisions” couple and early on, we had discussed/agreed that marriageContinue reading “Engagement”
“You might’ve been switched at birth”
There’s a couple of DNA tests out there that will tell you the different ethnicities/origins of your genetics. I’ve never really been interested, since I figured my family hasn’t really had a great mix of ethnicities in our background. But, my sister decided to do the 23 and me one. I figure, her results wouldContinue reading ““You might’ve been switched at birth””
Curse of the bowl cut
Goober came out with a full head of hair. Most people who saw him, their first words tended to be “that hair!” Of course, the flip side of that means we need to cut it sooner than expected. With COVID, we didn’t want to risk taking him to get it done, so we bought babyContinue reading “Curse of the bowl cut”
Somebody’s been eating my lunch
Pregnancy announcements are some of the cutest and funnest things to look up when bored. Granted, grand announcements aren’t my thing, being an introvert – but my husband can’t help but want to prank our parents when it was time for us to make the announcement. Did I mention April Fool’s Day is his favoriteContinue reading “Somebody’s been eating my lunch”
Stress Baking
So I learned something about myself during this COVID times. Apparently, baking helps me deal with stress. Crazy project timeline at work meant that I was baking this weekend! Decided to try something besides my usual chocolate chip cookies – snickerdoodles! Went to my favorite recipe website, All Recipes and found a super popular oneContinue reading “Stress Baking”
Starting Microsoft Anew
This weekend, I finally got fed up with my laptop and how slow it was – so I decided to blow everything away and start anew (aka do a clean install). My husband is a Linux/Unix person and told me a few years ago that if I insist on keeping a Windows machine, I hadContinue reading “Starting Microsoft Anew”
