Reading Audrey mag

I had found out about this Asian American magazine a while ago, I think perhaps from the Kollaboration after party Jenn got us into. These were handed out for free, and I think someone I recognized was on the cover, so I snatched it up. Ever since then, I've been following them on twitter and fb. I finally made the plunge and subscribed to them at the end of last year, and I'm so glad I did! I finally got around to reading through the winter and spring issues recently, and they've got gems of interesting articles as well as good recs for books and beauty products to check out. One fun section is about dating in our modern age, and a little section about poor pick up lines had me cracking up:

2nd + 3rd weekend of August

Thank you for the lovely notes and cards of comfort and warmth yesterday. To be honest, I was a bit surprised to hear from some of you, but it's nice to know there are a few people actually reading this blog. I feel a lot better today because of you guys. *virtual hugs* Time also has a way of lessening the deepness of the sadness.

We did go to Little Gym in our area, and Ethan was curiously terrified. He wouldn't let go of Lucas, and refused to be put down. Even his legs and...

It's Okay to Not Be Okay in 2020

This year has been, what can we say; Disruptive, strange, and hard. We were supposed to go on an epic Japan adventure sans kids for the first time, party at the BTS concert together, and explore more of LA as a family to name a few of our plans. Instead, we tried to make the most of remote learning, rearranged our home to accommodate two work from home parents, worked our butts off to retain both of our jobs, and found small ways to keep the sanity. To focus on the bright spots though: 1. We are now raising some cute fish in a 10 gallon tank 2. Tie dying has become a family hobby 3. We enjoy quality family time every weekend with a lunch {& boba drinks} & movie date (Disney's Onward and Netflix's Over the Moon are standout favs) 4. Netflix & Kdrama has become a fond pastime for Eleen & Lucas (Netflix's Signal and It's Okay to Not Be Okay are excellent) 5.
