I always joke that the reason I married a Chinese man is because China will take over the world in our lifetime and I want someone “on the inside” for my own protection. I’m not sure if J takes this seriously or not — sometimes I can swear that he agrees with me. Via Power […]
Are You Interested in Guest-Blogging?
I have been thinking about what to do with this blog when I go into labor and during the precious few weeks following the birth of our baby. I know that my readers will completely understand a maternity break from blogging; but at the same time I am hesitant to put this site into hiatus […]
Preparing My Body for Labor
Last month, I stopped by our local Vitamin Shoppe and picked up a couple of items to help prepare my body for labor. The first up is red raspberry leaf tea (RRLT). RRLT is proven to strengthen the uterine and pelvic muscles, and is said to “focus” and improve your contractions when labor starts and help […]
New Priorities
Originally, J and I had planned on using the bassinet that comes equipped with this Pack ‘n Play for the first couple of months of the baby’s life; we would have the baby sleep there beside our bed for easier night feedings and as an extra precaution against SIDS. However, upon further examination of our limited […]

36 Weeks (Mega Update)
I am now officially in my 9th month of pregnancy. Only ~4 weeks left to go! I have a friend who gave birth at 36 weeks and I keep thinking back to visiting her and the baby at the hospital. Sure, the baby was tiny (about 5¾ lbs) but he was still pretty darn cute with […]
Spam Infographics
This is why whenever I share infographics, including this one, I (1) upload it to my own site; and (2) never use the embed/share code that is included with the infographic. Whenever I do use a particular site’s embed/share code — which is usually the case with videos — I go through each line carefully to make […]

Our First (Clingy) Child
Lately I have been getting more and more concerned about how Comang will react to the baby. When his previous owners brought their baby home, they told me that Comang didn’t really pay attention…if anything, he seemed to be oblivious to the new strange creature that inhabited his space. However, I spend a lot more time […]
Do You Boycott?
Ever since I started writing more about my religious views on this site, I have gotten more than a few comments and nasty emails stating that they will no longer read my blog because they disagree with my stance on certain issues. I don’t have much of a problem with readers who choose to unsubscribe […]
