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:

A New Outlook on Motherhood & Life

Before having children, I hated children. I couldn’t understand them, and found them incredibly annoying. I never gave a second thought to being a mom unlike some who aspire to be one their whole lives. One day, I would become a mom after marriage and that would be that. The only fact I knew for sure was that I definitely wanted to have more than one child. Being an only child, I recognized the importance of giving the gift of a sibling to my first. Approaching motherhood going on four years now with two babes has given me new perspective on what it’s all about. I’ve been asked before on the merits of becoming a mom or having children, and while it’s easy to complain about all the difficult parts, it has always been insurmountable to fully put into words the gravity or the magnitude of such a decision on my life.

A hex nut breakfast

We finally got to try the cronut! Well, not THE cronut, but a Safeway croissant donut shaped like a hex nut bolt thinger! It was mighty fine ;-).

Cancer

Cancer and death seems to surround me lately. I used to think cancer was something only the few got in their lives, and that if you made healthy choices in life, you could avoid it. But, I'm not so sure anymore. Two of my coworkers' moms passed away recently, and my boss just let us know that he found out he has cancer. He has young kids, and so much life left to live, so here's hoping he can fight it. Then, the hardest hit happened this morning. My grandma passed away. We only recently found out she had stage 4 lung cancer. My mom is taking it pretty hard, and I don't know what to say to her. I've never heard her so sad before. It makes me very sad to hear her mourn the loss. The only light in my life right now is Ethan. He's growing so fast and learning so much every day. He is the reason why I try so hard. He makes my little family unit whole.
