The final stretch.

I write this with swollen fingers and my belly nearly resting on the table. Baby is the size of a winter melon, and I really don't even think I’ve seen a winter melon in real life. I haven't written a pregnancy update since my announcement and that's due to a lot of reasons. Firstly, I…

More Than a Food Baby: A Happy Announcement

I took my first pregnancy test on a November afternoon. Jay was with me. We laid in bed staring at the ceiling, talking through all of our emotions. “What if it’s positive?”“I really don’t think you’re pregnant… you’re always late on your period.”“But what if.” It took me a long time to build the kind…

Looking Through a New Lens

My Sony Alpha has been one of my favorite possessions in the last two and a half years. I’ve taken it almost everywhere and it has captured so many of my fondest memories. Lately though, I haven’t felt as inspired by the pictures I’ve been taking. The kit lens that my camera first came with…

Florida with the Perrenouds

Jay and I usually like to take any opportunity to take trips and November was a nice time to celebrate family for Jay’s nephew’s baptism and his niece’s 5th birthday. I stayed in Florida for about five days before leaving for Thanksgiving. I’m really glad I got to see all of his family together in…

Disney World: Epcot

Let me start this by first saying hello, 2019! I always find myself taking these long breaks away from this blog, mostly because life happens and the desire to sit in front of the keyboard becomes less alluring when all you want to do with your free time is sleep. The last few months of…

Tokyo, Japan: Part 2

Ah, yes, wow, is this really happening? We have arrived to the final installment of my Japan posts. It’s not like we have seen two changing seasons go by since I’ve been there or anything. It truly feels like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders for finally posting the last half of…

Meet The Wengderfuls / Oct 21, 2018

My family and I had the pleasure of attending my cousin’s beautiful wedding this weekend. The weather was perfect, the lighting was that ideal dusky blue as the sun was setting behind the mountains. Open bar, donut bar, BOBA BAR!!! It was truly magical. And I loved being able to see all of my family…

Tokyo, Japan: Part 1

Endlessly drooling over Japanese eats. This is Part 1 and the first 3 days we spent in dreamy Tokyo.

RiSE Lantern Festival in Jean, Nevada

Hi everyone, it’s been awhile since my squishy, mildly arthritic fingers have touched this keyboard to write a new blog post for you all. Since I’ve last been here, a lot has changed, and a lot of me has changed with all of that change, but I think in a good way. I’ll have to…

The Need To Feel Connected

Growing up, I would say that I was pretty sheltered in the way that most kids born of Asian parents are sheltered. I wasn't allowed to do a lot of things that many people I knew got to do, like have sleepovers at each other's houses or being able to go out with my friends…
