Ze Wifey Chronicles: Undomesticated
http://wifeychronicles.blogspot.com/2011/11/undomesticated.html
Monday, November 28, 2011. I stepped into this marriage completely undomesticated. It's been three months now, and all I can say is that I've still got a LOT. One thing I am proud of is that I (attempt to) cook most of our weekday meals. Me: A person who, three months ago, had 0.0000001% cooking skills. At the very least, my attitude towards the kitchen has changed. Posted by KRIS V. Looking forward to the next posts, kris! November 28, 2011 at 5:01 PM. November 29, 2011 at 6:14 AM.

Ze Wifey Chronicles: January 2012
http://wifeychronicles.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 9, 2012. On some days, I wonder why some things even exist. Today, the word "overcooked" is on the chopping block. Prior to the wedding, my thoughtful friends and relatives advised me that I should turn to pasta when all else fails. However, these semi-kind friends and relatives forgot to tell me that when pasta is overcooked, everyone and everything becomes unhappy. I am annoyingly careful of the fact that I don't serve my husband dishes with uncooked meat. Every now and then, I grab...

Ze Wifey Chronicles: February 2012
http://wifeychronicles.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 21, 2012. After the wedding, the hubby and I were greeted with an overwhelming mound of presents from family and friends. One of my favorite wedding presents was a pair of green ice cube trays given by one of my high school friends. Ice cube trays? Now what's so exciting about that? You see, these aren't just ordinary ice cube trays- they're actually magical. These nifty little things make sure that you produce ice cubes that are perfectly square. Yes, perfect ice cubes!

Ze Wifey Chronicles: Menu Planning
http://wifeychronicles.blogspot.com/2012/04/menu-planning.html
Friday, April 6, 2012. If there was one task I really. Stressed over during the first few months of being a wife, it would definitely be MENU PLANNING. You see, browsing through cookbooks may seem fun and exciting for other people- but definitely not for someone with zero skills in the kitchen. It didn't help that I wasn't gifted with a palette that allows me to just cook by feel and create sumptuous dishes without the aid of a cookbook. I NEEDED a recipe and I still do. More confident in the kitchen, an...

Work-Life Balance ~ Passionately Pretending
http://passionatelypretending.blogspot.com/2013/06/work-life-balance.html
Because the whole world keeps telling me that I should be passionate about something. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Early this year, after almost 15 years of running the rat race, and climbing up the corporate ladder, I jumped off the ladder altogether. My title changed from "Senior Manager" to "Home Manager" and eventually got promoted to "Stay-at-Home Mom". Despite what it sounds like, staying at home does not equate to bumming around. There is always,. After months of wanting to, I g...
