Amazon Mom

I only just heard about Amazon Mom, which is “a free membership program aimed at helping parents and caregivers, from the prenatal days through the toddler years, use Amazon to find all the products their family needs.” Although the special discounts on diapers, wipes, and other recommended products are certainly enticing, what draws me to this […]

Our Baby, the Fashion Plate

I have never been one to play dress-up as a little girl, or even have dolls as a kid, so dressing up our baby girl is not something I anticipate with glee. (If anything, I think that J is looking forward to it much more than I. He is a full-on metrosexual who loves to […]

The Baby-Sitters Club: Where Are They Now?

I saw this link on my Facebook feed yesterday and I knew I had to share it with my readers (who are obvious Baby-Sitters Club fans). Huffington Post’s The Frenemy writes, “By the time the series ended in 2000, the girls had graduated from middle school at 13. This would make them around 23 now. I decided to […]

37 Weeks

Four days ago, I hit 37 weeks and reached a new milestone: I am now considered full-term! Aside from the episode of false labor yesterday, the baby seems content on staying inside my belly for the time being. I am still experiencing contractions, but they remain irregular and completely manageable. I feel as huge as […]

Dim Sum Buttons

I’m not a big fan of dim sum (J thinks it’s an atrocity that I prefer Chinese take-out to authentic Chinese cuisine), but I find these dim sum buttons by Mark Wu of One Inch Punch adorable. I would get the set, affix some magnets to their backs, and use them on my refrigerator. Via Neatorama. You may […]

False Labor?

This morning started like any other. After a warm, refreshing shower, I was drying off and about to get dressed when I felt it. Sharp, excruciating pain in my groin. Regular readers know that I had been having pain in my groin area  — sorta like I was kicked repeatedly in the crotch — for months now. […]

Danny and Annie

My sister sent me this video along with a note that read, “I know you’re already hormonal, but this is guaranteed to make anyone cry…” And you know what? I totally bawled like a baby watching this video. It reminds me of the first ten minutes of Up, except this is a true-life story as […]

Vulcan Salute Hoodie

As is the case with most hardcore Star Wars fans, I cannot stand Star Trek. (For a humorous illustration of Star Wars fans hating on Trekkies, check out the hilarious movie Fanboys.) However, I couldn’t help but smile when I happened upon this hoodie and I knew that I needed to feature it on this blog. Grab your […]
