Wowwee! It's been a hot minute since I've posted on this corner of the internet, but I've been itching to write/create/speak so cheers to me bringing PseudoMidlifeCrisis back! The last year I've learned so much and one of the biggest lessons I've learned is how therapeutic words can be. SO even if no one reads … Continue reading Five Thangs Friday
Pregnancy is meant to be one of the happiest periods of your life. There's nothing like that feeling of growing a whole new human in your womb. It overpowers the nausea, sleepless nights and body pains that come with the magic. I am happy about this pregnancy. I've been waiting for this for a long … Continue reading Seasonal Affective Disorder and Pregnancy
Tah-dah! I'm pregnant. Knocked up. Bun is in THE oven (I don't even like bread though - we'll pretend it's a cassava flour challah or something). At the moment, I'm 11 weeks pregnant. I am so close to being out of the first trimester and into the safety of the second. Over the last few … Continue reading My First Post… On Pregnancy
I saw this at a bookstore in Auckland and it made me stop. It also made me giggle a little. Was the store implying that religion and happiness are one and the same? Were they just short on shelf space and had to consolidate? Religion is an interesting thing to me. Personally, I was raised … Continue reading On Judaism/Religion/Happiness

When we were in Korea a few weeks ago, we booked a tour to go to the DMZ - the … Continue reading A Casual Day at the DMZ/North Korea

Dear 13 year old Jeanette... I know you feel like an outsider again, and maybe you are. It will pass and you … Continue reading Dear Me, Love Me
After our brief visit to Singapore, we moseyed on over to Seoul, South Korea. Going into this trip, I had an idea of what most of the places would be like, but Korea was an unknown for me. If you asked me what I knew about Korea, the most I could give you would be … Continue reading Discovering the Heart and S(e)oul of South Korea
I'm trying to write all these thoughts out before too much time passes so that the details are still clear in my memory. Today is July 29th and we are 11 days into our 5 week trip through Asia and Australia. So I guess all of this word vomit is 11 days old. We left … Continue reading Singapore: Too Perfect?
I went to the DMZ yesterday (that's a story for another post), and along the way, in an effort to reduce my battery usage to increase Instagram story output, I rediscovered some of my old downloaded playlists. Does anyone remember Kodaline? I know they're still active, but let's be real, they peaked in 2014. They … Continue reading Do You Follow Your Fire?
I have been neglectful AF towards this blog - which is audacious considering I pay to have it! I don't even have a good excuse - I've been on summer break for the last two weeks doing nothing but going to yoga and annoying my husband. I thought it'd be fun to do a quick … Continue reading Life Lately
