So I’ve decided my kid is a prolific pee-er. We’re finally at the point where he’s starting to sleep through the night…EXCEPT when he pees himself. The crazy part? We already have him in a nighttime diaper that’s a size up, add in one of my overnight period pads (Sposie pads DID NOT work forContinue reading “Prolific Pee-er”

Being a parent means constantly second guessing yourself
I’m not sure if all moms do this, but I definitely do. I find myself constantly second guessing any decision or action I do as a first time mom. It doesn’t help when you decide to do something (and didn’t think it needed researching) only to find out that it could cause problems! For example,Continue reading “Being a parent means constantly second guessing yourself”
Parenting means constantly building things
Not sure about everybody else, but I feel like I’m constantly building something for my baby. We did get a lot of hand me downs, which was great and a huge moneysaver. BUT, it did sometimes mean putting things together without instructions. Like a baby swing…luckily I was able to find a manual online, butContinue reading “Parenting means constantly building things”
Funny moments in parenting: Good mom, not as good wife??
Parenting has some pretty tough moments – sleepless nights (and days), crazy messes, and more. But it also comes with a lot of laughs. Sometimes, at the expense of the hubs. To be fair, there are other times, he’s laughing at (not with) me too! For instance, the other day, the hubs had Goober onContinue reading “Funny moments in parenting: Good mom, not as good wife??”
“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)”
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!”
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”
Parenthood, Then and Now
I sometimes sit and think about how different parenting is now versus when my parents raised me. Sometimes, I wonder if it’s harder now or before. Now, there’s a lot more at your fingertips, thanks to the internet, but I feel like there are so many rules too! I’m someone who loves to read andContinue reading “Parenthood, Then and Now”
