Carolina Mommy Moment: I’m a displaced northerner confronting the daily challenges of maintaining a work-life balance as a wife and working mom. Originally from NJ, I’ve lived in Baltimore, Bangladesh, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, but now I call North Carolina home. I am actually doing something with my MA in East Asian Studies (gasp!) and work as a program coordinator for China-related projects (yes, I had to learn Chinese, it is not my native language).

Aug 27- Our 2-year Anniversary!
Another reason to keep my blog title as '27' is because my husband and I got married on August 27, 2011 during hurricane Irene in NJ. On 8/27 of this year, I took my glucose screening test but didn't have the results, and so proceeded to indulge in a chocolate chess cake for dessert. My husband and I had a simple anniversary dinner and I cherished every moment. I appreciate how we can enjoy each other's company and exchange simple gifts. I gave my husband two books and he gifted me with a glass necklace and earrings (okaaaay, I admit, he did buy me a piano and reading chair earlier this summer). I am happy to report that I DO NOT have gestational diabetes, but understand that my numbers are close to the threshold and therefore am sticking to whole grains and limited quantities of sweets. My mother lit a candle and prayed for me every day so that I wouldn't have gestational diabetes. I have much to be thankful for.
