Hello all! So I’m going to have to make this SUPER quick since my house looks like a tornado came through, and my two-year-old (the tornado) has recently discovered the fun of throwing things down the laundry chute. ANYWAYS.

IMG_5106I wanted to quickly share with you all an AMAZING thing that I found at Wal-Mart today. I shared them in my haul video, but for those of you who do not follow me on YouTube, or could care less about what I buy at the store (seriously, I wouldn’t care), they are these new fangled reusable pouches for pureed food!

Growing up Asian in a CAUCasian family

Wow.

All I can say is wow.

I have never in a million years had such an amazing support system…ever.

After I posted my last blog post in response to how downright shitty I felt after seeing the “Why I’d Hate to be Asian” video, I felt really embarrassed to have shared what I did. When I woke up the next morning I even had the urge to delete it, but before I could make my way downstairs to the computer I received 25 emails which were either personal emails from readers, notifications of comments on the blogpost, or responses on my Facebook on my phone.

I’m truly amazed and touched by all of the kind words, all of the relatable stories shared, and all of the effort that you all have put in to helping me maintain my sanity. I started this blog for myself, and really as much as everyone says that they are getting just as much out of it as I am, I still find that hard to believe, because I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have as many new friends as I have found or that have found me.

growing up

After reading all the emails and comments I realized that this whole time that I’ve been feeling down on myself and the way I looked since being a small kid, the thing I was missing was a great support group. Back when I was younger I didn’t know how to express my feelings to anyone other than my parents. Every time I was bullied or called chink eyes, or someone tried to copy my eyes by using their fingers to pull at the outer corners of their own, I would run to my parents who to be completely honest weren’t much help. Don’t get my wrong, I love my parents and owe everything that I have to them, BUT just like any other person who doesn’t know exactly where you’re coming from, they couldn’t really help me the way I needed.

A very magical bra indeed…

Breasts, mammary glands, bosoms, jugs, boobs, boobies, these are all different words that can be used to describe the two magical lumps on the front of women’s chests. Actually according to the Urban Dictionary, there are a total of 99 different words to describe them, one of my personal favorites being, the “Big Gulps”, hehehe… Where was I going with all of this? Oh yes, breasts. Continue reading →

Colds, coughs, and RSV, how to survive …

As many of you know from my earlier post, this week has been a painful one with two of our three kids (and myself) battling infections, one of them being almost three months old with RSV. With that being said, I thought I’d share some products and tips that have helped us and our kids get through these illnesses a little easier.

Gift Ideas For Baby’s 1st Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza etc.

Shopping for the Holidays can be so much fun, but they can also be pretty stressful too if you have no clue what to get someone. I love gift giving and tend to go over board, ESPECIALLY when it comes to Christmas gifts for my kids. Whether that stems off of me wanting to give them everything that I couldn’t have as a kid, who knows….I digress…

ANYWAYS! I will never forget what my mom told me before Ava’s first Christmas when I was a single mother working two jobs which was, “Enjoy not spending a lot of money this year, because it only gets more expensive as they get older”. Even though she was right, and everyone around me kept telling me that I shouldn’t buy a lot because she wouldn’t even remember her first Christmas and what she got anyways, I still had to make her first Christmas special with some gifts because lets face it, baby’s first holidays are more for the parents than the baby themselves. :)

So now comes the question of what do you get for a baby? Depending on the age that they are at on their first holiday, that can be tough. That is why I’ve compiled a list of gift suggestions and reviews for those of you who are stumped like I was 7 years ago with my first-born :) .

Toys

Babies really don’t need a lot of toys. Basically they can get enjoyment out of mostly anything around them. I just watched Kya throw a bunch of gooey smiles to the ceiling fan just a few minutes ago, and for weeks my son’s favorite toy as a 6 month old was a ball that was actually meant to be a dog toy. So when it comes to toys, unless they are over 9-10 months, they really  don’t need anything fancy, and just like clothing, they will be fast to outgrow the toys too! With that being said, here are three simple and affordable gift ideas for the younger babies in your life.

Bad Daddy Rattles

When Sarah over at Bad Daddy Rattles sent me this teething rattle for Kya, I instantly fell in love. I’m a sucker for natural woods, and even more so for small businesses. These rattles are not only made from non-toxicdomestic and exotic hard woods that are safe for your baby, but they are easy to grip, have a wonderfully non-obnoxious rattle sound to them, and they are absolutely beautiful. I have mine stuck in my diaper bad and already I can distract Kya with it for a few minutes when she goes stir crazy in her car seat at 2 months old. :)   Continue reading →
