Christmas Tree Decorating Guidelines

What’s that you say? There are only a dozen days left before Christmas and we have yet to put up our tree? Please. That’s nothing to this family of procrastinators.
And just in case there are others out there in the same boat — Bueller? Hello? I know we can’t be the only ones! — who may need some guidance on the best way to decorate the tree based on their children’s ages, here’s an instructional from the ever-so-delightful How to Be a Dad.

J and I have talked about dragging our tree out of storage and getting it set up, preferably…

Memories from My 32nd

So Claire surprised me with a bouquet of flowers on my birthday. (Her grandparents had paid for it, but they told me that she had picked it out and she presented it to me while shouting, “Heppy buh-she-dey umma!”)
Of course I immediately placed the flowers in a vase and displayed them prominently on our kitchen table. And I guess Claire understands the concept of birthday gifts, because she would continually point to the flowers and say, “꽃!” (kkot, or flower in Korean) “Umma buh-she-dey!”

A Visualization of Star Wars Enthusiasm

Here’s a pretty funny (but mostly accurate!) panel of comics about how much we’ve cared about Star Wars, starting from the 1970s all the way to the 2010s.

Calvin and Hobbes Search Engine!

You guys, I discovered the best thing today…
A Calvin and Hobbes search engine!!!

Calvin and Hobbes remains my favorite comic strip despite the fact that it is no longer published. And as I have written in the past, one of my all-time favorite gifts from J is the Calvin and Hobbes Boxed Set. I can’t wait until my kids are old enough to enjoy this mischievous duo! (But let’s just hope they don’t learn any bad things from it! )
The only thing I didn’t like about Calvin and Hobbes was that there are literally thousands of strips out there —…
