Wifely Steps

Tweet How was your week? Mine has been all kinds of nuts. I’m thankful next week will be much shorter and I’ll spend more time with my baby. Yay! I do answer comments, but haven’t gotten around to answering a lot recently. I will reply to them! I’m no snob. Twitter has been more of [...]

Tweet When Timmy was not more than a month old, there were nights that he wouldn’t stop crying. I nursed him, carried him, sang him a lullaby. No dice. I felt like such a bad mother, not knowing how to calm my own baby down. I was afraid I was doing something wrong, mad at [...]

Tweet I’ve recently enforced a bedtime schedule for the baby. Before last week, I’d usually just let him play till he gets tired. It’s tough when you’re at work the whole day. I don’t get to play with him much during daytime so when night time hits, we catch up on storytelling (well, goo-goo’ing from [...]

Tweet Have you eaten anything interesting lately? Share, share, fellow foodies! This week, I tried leche flan with ripe mangoes for the first time.

Tweet Have you seen Chef Jamie Oliver’s winning talk “Teach Every Child About Food” on TED Talks yet? Go see it and help change the food landscape of this generation. “The Undomestic Goddess” will be made into a movie! Yipee! The story is about a highly-stressed lawyer who quits her job and accidentally becomes a [...]

Tweet When the Oscar season comes along, my sister Patti always prints out the official ballots from the Oscars website. Each member of our family gets a ballot each. We all have to submit our votes before the show. The prize? Well, there is no prize. Maybe a little “Wow! That was a good guess!” [...]

Tweet Hectic doesn’t even begin to describe this week. There wasn’t even time for a Monday picker-upper. I just had to start checking things off my to-do list ASAP. You know how ASAP works, and you know how to-do lists don’t really have an ending. I stumbled upon this poem during a break, and I [...]
