THIS ONE'S FOR YOU SUE!


I posted a picture of this pillow with the Fu character earlier....but I didn't know that the manderin word for "upside down" is dao, which is a homonym for "arrives". So for maximum good luck, at the Lunar New Year Chinese families display the Fu character upside down within their houses.
I have now turned my pillow upside down!(thanks for the tip Sue)

Hi Liz -- so glad I happened across your blog! I'm also a single-mom-to-be in Ontario -- check out my blog to know more!
I love that you're going to teach Ava some sign language -- I'm a teacher of the deaf, so if you want some help, just let me know!

And by "good luck", of course I mean TA!!
