The holiday spirit is in the air, at the mall, at the grocery store, and in the decorations in my neighborhood. I can’t say I love the cold. But I like that while it’s so cold outside, all the holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas […]
If you haven’t heard already, Amazon is opening half of its second headquarters (HQ2) in Crystal City, VA. In a previous post on July 16, I discussed how Mr. FAF and I went house-hunting in Northern Virginia because Mr. FAF heard a rumor that Amazon […]
The other night I woke up at 2 AM to do the usual breastfeeding for our baby, who then decided to not fall back to sleep and stay up until 4 AM. Usually during that late night staying up with the baby, I’ll check the […]
One thing Mr. FAF and I have been discussing lately is how we want to celebrate our 5th year anniversary, which is coming up in less than a month. Our tradition over the past year has been going to a steak house that’s close to […]
It started to get cold in DC a week ago. When hubby and I went to Costco, we already saw Halloween and Christmas decorations on sale. That’s a clear sign that the holiday season is here! First comes Halloween, then Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New […]

On October 3, I wrote a post about Mr. FAF’s recent job situation. At their weekly check-in meeting, Mr. FAF’s boss asked him to look for another team at his company. In other words, Mr. FAF’s boss didn’t want Mr. FAF to be a member […]
The news Yesterday morning, at about 10:30 AM, I was breastfeeding Baby F2 while watching a Vietnamese drama. Basically, I was enjoying life and killing time with a baby attached to me pretty much most of the day. Suddenly, I got a message from Mr. […]
