Claire’s First Trip to the Liberty Science Center

Feb 01. 2012

First children are bound to feel neglected and resentful at times when a younger sibling comes along. So far, Claire has been doing splendidly with the addition of Aerin into our lives, but there are moments here and there where I can see the sadness in her eyes when we are preoccupied with Aerin. :-( To help her know that we will never stop loving her, this past Sunday, we decided to give Claire some "alone" time with mommy and daddy by taking her to the Liberty Science Center. (J's parents graciously agreed to watch Aerin while we were out.) We actually live just 15 minutes away from this wonderful, interactive science museum and I had been dying to take Claire...

Cool Tool Tuesdays: What I Use to Clean and Protect My MacBook Pro

Jan 24. 2012

Welcome to today's installment of Cool Tool Tuesdays, where I feature a favorite item from my life and spotlight it so that others who are not familiar with the product may also benefit from it. A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, hardware, material, or website that I have personally tried and love. Do you have any questions about today's cool tool? Would you like an item featured in the future? Please leave a comment to this post, or send me a message via my contact form. Enjoy! Some people like to rough up their gadgets, add personalizations, and give it some character. I am not one of those people. In fact, I am the complete opposite: I like to keep my gadgets...

Cool Tool Tuesdays: Panasonic Electric Thermo Pot

Jan 17. 2012

I have decided to implement some regularity to this blog. I believe that not only will it give readers something to look forward to on a weekly basis, it will also force me to be more creative as well as provide a focus when I am struggling with writer's block. The new schedule will not be too rigid, because anyone with kids — heck, without kids too — knows that life is anything but predictable. So for now, I plan on doing the following: Cool Tool Tuesdays, where I feature a favorite item from my life and spotlight it so that others who are not familiar with the product may also benefit from it. A cool tool can be any book, gadget,...

Site Downtime, and a New Host

Jan 08. 2012

If you tried to visit this site yesterday or earlier today, you were probably met with a big fat error message. :-(  I thought that the problem had resolved itself by Saturday evening, when the site briefly came back online after my web host reset the server, but the reprieve only lasted a couple of hours. This was the second time in less than a month that this had happened. (Third, if you count the reset on Saturday.) Add this to the consistently sloooow loading time I had been experiencing in the past half year, and we had a problem on our hands. It wouldn't have been half as bad if my host's customer support: Hadn't taken seven hours to respond to my first email, then...

ONA’s Roma Camera Insert Bag Review and Giveaway!

Oct 17. 2011

Sorry, this giveaway is now closed. The winner will be announced here shortly! Late last year, the web was abuzz with the introduction of a laptop + DSLR bag that was not only functional and well-made, but beautiful as well: the ONA Union Street Bag. I knew it would be perfect for my fashion-conscious husband, who commutes to work with a laptop and likes to bring along his DSLR wherever he can. I immediately placed myself on the waiting list — the bag had became sold out as soon as the blogosphere began to buzz about it — and gifted it to J as his birthday present earlier this year. We both love the Union Street bag. J gets compliments on it all the time, and...
