Scary Halloween

By
I'm usually not a fan of Halloween at all just like how I'm not a fan of scary movies.  But, after making Ethan's last-minute costume with Lucas last night, I realized that it can be fun.  I came up with a ghost idea because how much simpler can you get for a diy costume, right?  I asked for one of Lucas' old white tshirts, and started digging around in my craft drawers.  I found some googly eyes and black foam sheets.  We opted for the black foam so that we could make the ghost eyes bigger.  As Lucas was cutting up the bottom of the shirt into jagged triangles, he made me think of Pacman ghosts.  I temporarily got excited to make  a Pacman ghost costume, but Lucas brought me back down to earth by saying it might not be clear since we were using a white tshirt.  Oh well, maybe next year we can all be Pacman ghosts, hehe.  Now, if we could only get him to wear the tshirt ghost costume!  He's been getting picky about what he's willing to wear these days because he's gotten so used to only wearing tshirts all summer.  This child refuses to be tied down in any way.  Perhaps this is a harbinger of things to come in adolescence, oh oh...

We're eating fruit roll up for the first time because his classmate gave them out in goody bags.  How do some moms find the time to do these things like goody bags??




Success!

A New Outlook on Motherhood & Life

By
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.  Obviously, people say, children bring such joy and a newness to life that you have left behind in your childhood or forgott...

It's Okay to Not Be Okay in 2020

By
 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. No one has been sick for a whole year (with kids in preschool & elementary school normall...

Cancer

By
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.
