Today marks the end of Claire’s first full week of preschool. (Last week was a 3-day school week.) While she didn’t cry the first day, she shed some tears every morning after that…until yesterday, that is. She had a perfectly pleasant, tear-free day yesterday and J texted me to let me know that she didn’t […]
Today is our Claire Emmanuelle’s first day of preschool. A couple of weeks ago, the school invited new parents for an orientation night. While the director was giving us tips on how to help our children adjust to attending school for the first time, she noted, “I see that many of the parents here are […]
Not really. Wanted to pop in to say that Aerin and I must have caught something at the ENT specialist’s office (there were a lot of sniffly kids in the waiting room). We’re starting to feel better now, but BOY am I looking forward to having a healthy family again! The picture above was taken […]
Pacifiers are one of many subjects that are often raised in parenting circles and forums. Should you use one or not? When should a child be weaned from his or her pacifier? I know that many of my friends are against the use of pacifiers, but we happily used them with both Claire and Aerin. Pacifiers — […]
Last month, when my aunt from Korea saw Claire for the very first time, she let out an audible gasp. “Oh my goodness! She looks exactly like Jenny!” Later, she would tell my mom that she thought she had traveled back in time, because the way Claire looked, and the way she was walking toward her, […]
As is the case with most mothers, my parenting style has really loosened up with time and the addition of another kid. Minor injury? Eh, they’ll live. No clean clothes left in the drawers? Go to the hamper and sniff out something presentable. Dead-tired at the end of the day without much food in the kitchen? Special […]
As Claire grows older, it’s becoming apparent that our elder daughter is quite the character. If she’s not awing those around her with her keen sense of observation and imagination, she is cracking us up with her anecdotes and attitude. I’ve decided to share with you some of my favorite stories from the past few […]
I haven’t been able to take too much pictures this week because I have a nagging cold. Not the fever-aching-gawd-kill-me-now kind, but the annoying type that makes me cough like I have a 2-pack-a-day habit and go through half a box of tissues a day from all the snot that comes oozing down my nose. […]
A chaotic life and lack of inspiration does not make for a good blogger. Here’s some eye candy for those who are curious as to what C&A have been up to lately… Last week, while taking a walk with the girls, I came across a small playground that seemed intent on being kept hidden. Located […]
I think I’m going to make these PicDumps a regular on Fridays. Not everyone who reads this blog is a Facebook friend with whom I share photos, and I figure that this will motivate me to take more pictures of the kids. 🙂 Last Thursday, April 25 2013, was the national Bring Your Child to […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
