I'm having a blast in Korea! I'll write more about my trip in a future post, but for the moment I wanted to share with you this comic strip from Tastefully Offensive. I thought it especially appropriate considering that direct flights between JFK and Incheon International Airport are approximately 14 hours long. :-) I fortunately had a very good experience on my flight to Korea. There were no babies on the plane save for one extremely well-behaved toddler, the food was probably the best airplane food I've ever had (did you see this Instagram photo I uploaded?), and there were electrical outlets between each seat, so I was able to use my laptop almost the entire flight. :-P What's more, flying is one of those...

Korea-Bound!

Jun 24. 2014

Yesterday was our last full day at home before I leave for Korea. 8-) The reason for my week-long (9 days with travel time) trip back to the motherland is a cousin's wedding. I was actually supposed to visit Korea earlier this year for another cousin's wedding, but decided to cancel the trip in light of the $6k we owed in medical bills. But now, with the bills paid off, my mother volunteering to watch the kids while I'm gone, and J encouraging me to take a vacation as well, I decided to go for it. (J thought about coming along and making it a 2-week trip, 1 week in Korea and another in Hong Kong, but his office needed him. We've both traveled...

Jun 23. 2014

My head is a royal mess right now. Packing. Cleaning. Making sure the girls don't kill each other. Laundry. My 15th rendition of "Do-Re-Mi" (C&A's favorite song at the moment) today.

More Products I’ve Been Diggin’

Jun 16. 2014

You know me — whenever I come across an item that enriches my life, I want to tell everyone about it! So here it is: five more products I've been enjoying lately. 1. Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream I've been reading (and seeing great before-and-after photos) of this cream online, so I decided to give it a try once the weather warmed up and my limbs were no longer covered in thick clothing. There are two versions of this cream: light skin, and medium-deep skin tones. Although my skin is pretty fair, I decided to get the darker version because I had read that this produces more visible results. And...

Green Meadows Farm

Jun 12. 2014

This past Memorial Day, we decided to visit Green Meadows Farm, a “petting farm” 45 mins from Manhattan.

My daughters seem to be city girls. Aerin wasn’t too impressed with the farm animals, while Claire was scared of most of them. We weren’t able to get too many pictures because we had to keep holding the girls (Aerin to keep her from running into the woods, and Claire to calm her down), but we were able to get a few memorable snapshots.
