We interrupt this self-imposed, life-is-damn-busy-and-hard blogging break to bring you an item of frivolity. (You can scroll down to the bottom of the post for a tiny update on my going-abouts.) Once again, I am waaayyyyy late to a fashion trend. I remember borrowing J’s jeans a few times when I was pregnant, when none of my […]
Learn to Read Korean in 15 Minutes
Life (mainly, my rugrats) has been keeping me busy. Man, are 2-year-olds and 3-year-olds difficult! I’m so drained these days that blogging has been the last thing on my mind. But when I came across this nifty comic the other day, I knew I wanted to share it with you. It won’t teach you Korean vocabulary or grammar, […]
When David Loses
There is a couple who is very dear to me. They are some of the hardest workers I know — having immigrated to the states with two daughters and no money to their name, they worked menial jobs and saved every last cent until they were finally able to afford a business, and then a […]
Mega-Update on the Girls, Part 3: Sisters
I have written in the past about our OCD Nut (Claire) and Mini-Godzilla (Aerin).

Aerin is a daredevil while Claire still remains one of the most cautious kids I know. Aerin […]

Michonne You may […]
Mega-Update on the Girls, Part 2: Claire
Claire has been thriving at her Montessori preschool. I recently went in for the mid-year parent-teacher conference, and her teacher couldn’t say enough positive things about her. For example, although Claire is one of the youngest kids in the class, she’s always one of the first to understand and complete new assignments and activities. Not only that, […]
Mega-Update on the Girls, Part 1: Aerin
A few weeks ago, Aerin had her 6-month evaluation by the state’s early intervention services. To be completely fair, it hasn’t been 6 months since we started therapy — it had taken a month to find our therapists, and we had missed a lot of sessions in the months of December and January due to […]
All the Dresses Worn by Every Best Actress Oscar Winner [On One Poster]
In light of this weekend’s 86th Academy Awards, I wanted to share with you this poster by Media Run. It’s not only fun to remember each dress and reminisce back to that person/show/year, it’s also interesting to see how women’s formal fashion has evolved over the years. Which is your favorite? Mine hails from last […]
