We didn’t get to celebrate Theo’s 100 day (one of big festivities in Korean culture) with family and friends due to COVID, but we made up for it for his first birthday party. While still being COVID cautious, we invited our family and close friends to celebrate the first year of Theo’s life with usRead More
Emma’s 4th Woodland Fairy Birthday Party
(Super delayed post as her birthday party was 6 months ago :P) One of the first things we envisioned when we first toured our new house was having tons of backyard parties. So it’s no surprise we hosted a big gathering as soon as we moved in for Em’s 4th birthday party. She was (stillRead More
To Emma (Letter #3)
My dearest Emma, This morning you said something that burst my heart with so much love and joy. You said, “mom, you are my best friend.” You have never said that to me before but you uttered those words with clarity and sincerity. You are my best friend too, Emma. I will always be yourRead More
Emma’s Moana Themed Birthday Party
If you haven’t noticed already, ever since Emma watched Moana for the very first time, she was immediately hooked. It was also the first movie she actually sat through. So naturally, she now wants everything Moana. She especially loves to belt out the theme song, How Far I’ll Go. Case in point here. So whenRead More
To Emma (Letter #2)
Our dearest Emma, Your second birthday has come and gone, and Mama is more emotional than when your first birthday came along. As wonderful as your first year was, a big chunk of that year was in survival mode. Your second year though, was soaking up every single moment of your growth because it literallyRead More
To Emma (Letter #1)
Our dearest Emma, You came into our world a year ago on October 2nd, 2015. Your grand entrance was as dramatic as it could be, just like the bright star you are! You gave us a scare with malrotation and emergency surgery, but mama and dada knew you would be as strong as ever. The pastRead More
Hubby’s Big 3-0!
Finally! Steve turned 30! Steve and I were born in the same year, but his birthday is later than mine so whenever I’m “older” than him, I can’t wait until he catches up. It makes me feel less old. Haha. Turning thirty is a big deal, it’s one of big birthday milestones. I wanted toRead More
Cheers to a New Decade!
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, I turned 30 years old! My fruitful 20’s are long gone, and I have entered into real adulthood. 😉 I read somewhere that your 20’s are for experimenting and making mistakes whereas in your 30’s, you should get your shit, act together. No denying that I did my fair share ofRead More
Here’s to the Last Year of My Twenties!
So I have entered the last year of my twenties! I think it’s appropriate to dedicate a short reflective post on this small milestone of mine as I listen to 90’s K-Pop hits. Clearly, setting the perfect mood for this post is just as important as writing it. My twenties were all about growing up. At theRead More
