My New Life in Bullet Points

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

I’ve become a morning person. Timmy’s morning feeds are my alarm clock. I get a wake-up call at 4 am, and by 4.45 am I’m preparing myself for work. No grouchiness included.

Taking a shower is now a luxury.

The conversations I enjoy most in a day are “googoo,” “acoo,” “gagaga,” and “geegee” exchanges.

H and I have [...]

If you have not seen Top Chef Season 6 Episode 12, read no further. This post contains spoilers! I realize I counted the Reunion Dinner as one Las Vegas episode, so… whoops. Anyway, this is technically Episode 12 of the Las Vegas run.
How’d you guys like the recent episode of Top Chef Las Vegas? Here [...]


A-cooing along!

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Milestone! Timmy coos and gurgles a lot now, letting us hear a range of sounds so cute and impressive. We talk to him a lot, and I continue to read books to him, so it’s fun listening to him baby-talk back to us. I read that when a baby reaches 3 months, he can begin [...]


Expo Mom!

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Are you doing your Christmas shopping yet? For Moms, Moms-to-Be and your families, this may be just the bazaar for you.

I Dream of Pies

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Someday I’ll just stay home and bake pies all day. Apple pie, cherry pie, shepherd’s pie, you name it.
That thought kept playing in my head when I got back to work after a two-month maternity leave. While my first day at work wasn’t as emotional as I had anticipated, I still felt a little [...]


Sesame Street Memories

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Happy 40th Birthday, Sesame Street!

Sesame Street was a huge part of my childhood, and I’m sure it was a huge part of yours too. Who could forget “A loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter” or “Who are the people in your neighborhood?” My Mom said she’d plop me in [...]

Nutella Wontons

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Deep-fried chocolate. Who wouldn’t want that? When my little cousin asked me to be her sous chef one Sunday afternoon, I said yes, then grabbed my camera to film her creating some delicious Nutella Wontons.
The video was a bust (wrong settings my foot!) but the wontons were a success. Here’s a picture of the finished [...]
