(More)About this blog: I'm a wife, stay-at-home mom, home cook, marathon runner, and PhD. I recently moved to the Silicon Valley after completing my PhD in Social Psychology and becoming a mother one month apart. Before that, I ran seven marathons including Chicago and Boston. Exercise is an integral part of my life. I hope to one day go back to long distance running and tackle the New York City Marathon. Right now I run after my one year old son. Although I am a stay-at-home mom, we are rarely "at home." My mom also stayed at home with my brother and me. She warned me that, although rewarding, it can be isolating. So, with her help, I learned the importance of getting out into the community and meeting other mothers. On the rare occasion when I am at home and have a hand or two free, I squeeze in time to scrapbook. As a new mom, many challenges are thrown my way. I hope my opinions, triumphs, and struggles help experienced parents reminisce, new parents cope, and parents-to-be get an honest glimpse of what the first years of motherhood can entail.

Our family had so much fun watching
Happy Birds perform this afternoon. When our son was younger, we attended many summer events at the local libraries. It was a great way to meet up with friends and get out. Seeing musicians, animals, and puppets was a wonderful way to spend the summer with a baby or a toddler.
I was so excited to see that some of these events are now happening virtually! Somehow we hadn’t made it to a Happy Birds performance until this week. It was so much fun to see the birds do many different tricks including singing, skateboarding, and swinging. Watching the performance virtually was great because we all had front row seats and could grab a snack. Partway through the show, our son even grabbed his Guinness Book of Worlds Records and found
Gordon the parrot’s world record for removing bottle caps.
We can’t wait to see what other events the local libraries include in the
Summer Learning Showcase. Thank you for such an entertaining way to start off summer vacation.
