Update in Life

Happy Easter friends!

It's Been a While!

It's been several months since my last post. Nothing incredible major happened in that time. It was more like a bunch of little events that piled up onto each other and it's harder to get back on track with a toddler.


So, what happened?

We traveled to the Tampa Bay area to visit the in-laws and friends and go to a wedding.

Emily and grandpa

We celebrated Christmas with a very sick baby.

Not fun.

We celebrated my mom's birthday by flying my parents here for a week. My sister and her boyfriend also flew in to celebrate.

Birthday dinner: lasagna, salad, cheesecake

Emily got sick... again, but not as bad as Christmas.

David got sick. I got through all the sickness with a mild cold, whew!

And here we are today, with me having the time to catch up!

So, hopefully, I will be a little more consistent with my posts. I have some recipes to share, show crafts that I have completed, and share baby knowledge, like, we're sleep training Emily right now to transition easily when Daylight Savings begins. Also, I want to share the stuff that I'm watching or reading because I love talking about them! Like, right now, I am watching the second season of Game of Thrones. I'm only done with the first episode but it's really good! Good first episode for a season.

Crossing fingers guys!

1 Year Retropsection

So~~~~ My baby is one!! Seriously, where has the time gone? And in the 6 months since my last update, Emily has changed so much... again!

We had a great first birthday with my parents flying in to celebrate. I got a cake for Emily and we had a traditional setting with fruits and rice cakes.My mom even borrowed a hanbok (traditional Korean dress) from a friend for Emily to wear.

Happy birthday!

Pancake Weekend

Yay life! But as long as I'm doing something interesting, forgetting to blog is okay. 

So, how this happened....

Traveling Alone for a Breastfeeding Mom

It's been so long since my last post. Oh, life. But I really wanted to post about my adventure traveling alone and pumping.

So, a few weeks ago, my book club celebrated our 5 year anniversary. And we planned a weekend trip to a house in Virginia. It was a wonderful time but underlying with some stress.

Birthday Brunch

This past weekend was my birthday! And as birthday weekends go, this one was pretty good. It included my family, friends, video games and a 5k.

First birthday with my family!

Chalk Art Festival

It's been so long since I posted about an outing. Even though Emily is still on 2 naps, it's at a pretty consistent time so if we plan things well, we can maximize how long we are about to be out. Her first nap is always short so I don't feel too bad if she falls asleep in her stroller but I do want her to be home for her second nap because that is the long one.

I found out that the Chalk Art Festival was happening this weekend so we decided to head over downtown to look at the chalk art. This definitely reminded me of the Festival of the Masters at Downtown Disney. Obviously, this one was only chalk art but the Festival of the Masters also had chalk artists at work. Of course we went Sunday because that's when a majority of the art would be complete.

I'm so glad we went. The weather was perfect, Emily was in a good mood, and the art was fantastic.

Artists hard at work
