[Uno, Dos, Tres] Promoted to Sophomom

This post was inspired by an event at 1:34 AM. Today I was promoted to “sophomom,” a word I made up. The definition: I’m no longer the only first-time mom among my friends.

[Uno, Dos, Tres] I Love These, I Love Those Not

It’s been 6 months now. Babies are darn expensive themselves, but there are plenty of pricey products to keep the bambinos alive. When I was putting together my baby registry, I consulted with other mom friends on their suggestions. For the most part, I realized there are a billion and one different products out there, […]

Space Needle. Duh.

Today marks one year that my husband and I officially moved to Seattle. The last 365 days have had its ups and downs for sure. What has happened, then and now? One year ago today, I sort of had a job. I was telecommuting part-time for my employer back in California, and not knowing if […]

[2015 Wrap-Up] Ch-ch-changes!

If I had to sum up 2015 in one word it would be “Changes.” There have been so many changes this year, and so many lessons learned along the way. The first big change was moving from California to Washington. My husband and I had discussed this for such a long time. It always seemed […]

[Uno, Dos, Tres] — Stage 2

I am sure there are plenty of things to experience in life, but what I experienced today is just surreal. I didn’t even have time to think about how I felt. It just happened. Tears welled up in my eyes. Slowly, yet surely, I’m starting to understand things I never could wrap my head around […]
