If you're going to splurge on anything during pregnancy, I highly recommend investing in a good nursing chair. One that glides and reclines and bonus has lumbar support. I bought the overly hyped up Instagram find. The Glider Plus from Nurture& and no, I do not have a coupon for you to use--I should probably... Continue Reading →
Finding Gratitude in the midst of Anxiety
It's easy to get overwhelmed when planning for a baby, especially when the weeks are dwindling down and the countdown timer has begun. Then add an anxious person into the mix and it's even easier to drown. Honestly, I feel like I have been suffocating periodically with very little support. And my worrying has been...

Midnight Thoughts: A Life Update
Chronic pain is the number one reason I kept going back and forth about becoming pregnant.

And that's okay. I haven't really been myself for over a month now. Or maybe this has been going on much longer than I realized. Either way, I'm here to say, I'm alive and I'm working on it. Depression is a finicky thing. Not all days are bad, some are not so bad, some are... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Arsenic and Adobo
As Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month comes to an end, I thought it was a good idea to write this book review. I don’t do many book reviews because I’m not an avid reader, despite my attempt at becoming a published author myself, but this one hits close to home. It may be the... Continue Reading →
