What to Search When You’re Expecting [Google Search Story]

This video seems particularly fitting for our life at the moment. Although I have to admit that I’m the one doing most of the reading and researching…J’s attitude seems to be more along the lines of, “Just tell me what I need to pay for, where I need to be, and how to not hold the baby like a football.”

Google’s “Graduation”: A Commercial Guaranteed to Bring Tears to Your Eyes

I may be pregnant and hormonal, but I TOTALLY CRIED watching this Google commercial and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

This video holds special significance to anyone like me whose parents sacrificed everything to immigrate to a foreign country — a land where they did not know the language, where they were (and continue to be) ostracized for being a minority, where they work 80-hour weeks in the service industry, where they do not take a single vacation in YEARS — in order to provide good education, more opportunities and a better life for their children.

Calvin Grown Up

This made me tear up…

I unfortunately do not have any toys I can pass down to my children. I always preferred books over toys and never developed an attachment to any particular item.
There are, however, many many many books that I’d love to read to my children in hopes that they will love and appreciate them as I did.
