Calvin and Hobbes is my all-time favorite comic strip, and I still count The Complete Calvin and Hobbes to be one of the best presents J has ever gifted me. I seriously can’t wait until our children are old enough to start enjoying these comics! If you are also a fan of C&H, you are probably well-aware […]

BebeDeux Baby Pool [Win a $60 Gift Certificate to Artisanal Premium Cheese!]
The BebeDeux Baby Pool is now closed. Congratulations to Kristin, who guessed 11/1/11, 9:00am, 6lb 3oz, 19.5″! Tick, tock, tick, tock, the time is near! With just a few days left until my due date, I thought it would be fun to create a baby pool. The best part? The winner — or the person […]
Snowtober 2011
This is the scene outside our window right now: They say that we should be expecting up to 5 inches of snow tonight. With just a few days to go until my due date, I am a tad bit worried, to say the least. I know five women whose due dates were within a week […]
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark [Book Nostalgia]
With Halloween just around the corner, I recently developed a hankering for a scary book to re-read. (Notice I said “re-read” — this is because my pregnant brain can’t handle anything new at the moment…doh!) Sure, I could go for a classic like The Shining, or even my tried-and-true favorite horror novel, The Season of […]

“The Hunger Games” Character Posters
I can’t, I can’t, I CAN’T WAIT for The Hunger Games to be released in theaters next March! I have read that Gary Ross, the director of the first film of the trilogy, is a big fan of the books and that he truly wants the movie to be just as good as the book, to […]
Safe Deposit Boxes: The New Savings Method?
A few weeks ago I looked into procuring a larger safe deposit box to store our valuables and important documents, and I had a heckuva time finding one! All the bank branches within a 15-mile radius had waiting lists at least a year long. And the CitiBank in Chinatown where we had been guaranteed a […]
39 Weeks, And Claire’s Third Word
This morning I went in for what may be my last regular OB visit before BebeDeux arrives. Once again the exam went perfectly fine and the doctor tells me that there is no need for any worries. I declined an internal exam because heck, I was only 1cm dilated 12 hours before I went into […]
The Death of Yue Yue: Another Perspective
Last week, audiences all around the world were shocked by the viral video footage of a 2-year-old girl, Yue Yue, who was run over twice near a hardware market in Foshan, China, only to be ignored by as many as 18 passerbys before receiving help. (image source) Yue Yue remained in critical condition for the next […]
