My Personal Feelings on Infertility In a previous post, I shared about how my husband and I have been dealing with infertility for over 2 years. Based off of our health history, there was nothing to suggest there would be difficulty conceiving. Initially, I thought we would definitely conceive in the first 6 months. Honestly, there…
If you’re struggling with infertility, God’s timing might not make a whole lot of sense. You think, wasn’t your body built to make a baby? Isn’t this part of your role as a woman to give birth? On average, shouldn’t it only take 6 months to get pregnant?! Today, I want to explore what God…
As many of you know, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over two years. After about 1.5 years of trying, we decided to book an appointment with the OB/GYN to start looking to see if something may be wrong medically. You can read more about that journey here. I remember the…
Today, I’m talking about my least favorite word. When I say least favorite, I kind of mean the word I hate the most. I call it the G-word… GROWTH. Why do I hate the G-word? Because it’s painful. That’s right, you don’t have growth without pain. That’s why they call it growing pains… Growing as…

As many of you know, Crazy Rich Asians recently came out in theater. Part of the reason why this movie is such a big deal is because this is the first major film with a full Asian cast since Joy Luck Club! I was a bit skeptical about the movie at first, but overall, I…
When I first started blogging and Instagram it was partly because I was pseudo-unemployed. I thought maybe blogging could lead to some income (that hasn’t happened yet!). Also, I sensed God was telling me to take a risk and put myself out there, try something new, even if it doesn’t get results. Last week, I…
When I First Started Blogging and Instagram… Trying to become a blogger/instagrammer is hard work and it can be a real mental and emotional struggle too. When I first set out to blog, I did it to conquer my fears of failure – to try something new. My natural tendency would be to only try…
My Unlikely Perfectionist Response to Everything Going Wrong In my last post, I wrote about being a recovering perfectionist and how everything went wrong at my annual tea party. Why didn’t I respond with a total freakout session, anxiety, or stress? Why didn’t I just remake everything to ensure it was delicious and looked perfect?!…
