2023 March List | 三月清單

April 05, 2023/ Brandy C.

UN started his paternity leave! We decided to take our babies people-watching (H & G’s favorite activity).

UN開始放陪產假了！我們決定帶寶寶們觀察路人（H和G最愛做的事），所以三月清單我們去了清單上的幾家店。

James Coffee Cafe and Bakery

341 E Pennsylvania Ave, Escondido, CA 92025

As a coffee snob, UN approves of the coffee here. It’s a bit far from our house, but the good coffee makes it worth it!

UN喝第一口直接認可這裡的咖啡。雖然離家有段距離，但有好咖啡一切就值得了！UN對這裡的咖啡念念不忘呢！

Revolution Cafe

http://www.revoroasters.com/
1836 S Coast Hwy, Oceanside, CA 92054

We ordered the seasonal specialty Honeycomb Latte. There were no empty seats inside the coffee shop, this place is very popular. There are so many boutique coffee shops in Oceanside now, don’t forget to fill up your cup before you hit the road!

點了這季的特調咖啡Honeycomb Latte，店裡坐滿客人，生意非常好。Oceanside越來越多優秀的咖啡店，別忘了來滿杯咖啡再上路！

Windmill Food Hall

890 Palomar Airport Rd, Carlsbad, CA 92011

The large windmill outside is very eye-catching. The food court has a wide variety of selection, representing many cuisines, from Vietnamese pho to Southern style BBQ, everyone in your party will be able to find something they like.

大風車的外觀非常吸引人，美食街提供許多異國食物選項，從越式河粉到美式BBQ，很適合全家一起來的地方。

Campfire

2725 State St, Carlsbad, CA 92008

Every dish we ordered had us amazed. It has been far too long since we had food with so many layers of tastes! The atmosphere, food, and interior design details all had us feeling like we were glamping. It’s not a surprise this is the sister restaurant of Jeune et Jolie. This is a must eat in North County San Diego! Big thanks to grandparents for babysitting so that we could go out to celebrate our 6 year anniversary!

我們點的每一道菜都讓我們讚不絕口，實在好久沒吃到這麼有層次的味道了！無論氣氛、餐點和餐廳細節，都讓我們有glamping的感覺。和Jeune et Jolie是姐妹餐廳，絕對是來聖地牙哥北邊這一帶必吃餐廳！感謝爺爺奶奶照顧寶寶們，讓爸爸媽媽能出門慶祝結婚六週年。

2023 February List | 二月清單

April 04, 2023/ Brandy C.

February was a lively month! We were visited by many friends from Taiwan and different parts of the United States. So happy to hang out and catch up with friends that we haven’t seen in a long time. Hopefully our friends will still visit us when we move to Ohio!

二月好熱鬧！有朋友從台灣和美國各地來找我們，真開心能見到這麼多許久未見的朋友們。希望大家之後也能到Ohio找我們玩！

Extraordinary Dessert

1430 Union St, San Diego, CA 92101

We did a staycation in San Diego. UN and I revisited my college favorite dessert place, and it happens to be a tourist favorite spot! All of their cakes are beautifully designed and decorated using real floral petals. Irresistible to someone with a sweet tooth as myself.

這次下來聖地牙哥Staycation，我們來回味大學時代好愛的甜點店，也是在遊客來玩必吃清單裡！超美蛋糕和經典食用花瓣，味道總能滿足無甜食不歡的我，還能拍好多照片。

Little Italy Farmer’s Market

600 W Date St, San Diego, CA 92101

I love farmer’s markets, especially for the fresh blueberries and raw oysters! Crowded as ever before. You will find all kinds of fresh produce and delicious delicacies, guaranteed you won’t go home empty-handed or hungry. There used to be free parking, but with inflation, it is now $15 an hour!

我好愛的農夫市場，每次來必買超甜藍莓和吃生蠔！人潮一樣多，超美超新鮮蔬果，每次絕對滿載而歸。以前的免費停車場，如今也抵不過通貨膨脹，一小時竟然15塊美金！

10 Breastfeeding Mom Must Have | 十樣親餵母乳必備用品

March 29, 2023/ Brandy C.

懷孕期間，醫院提供許多課程給新手爸媽，像哺乳課、產後財務管理、生產課等等。雖然我們認真上課做筆記，但沒有實際操作，第一次哺乳還是一頭霧水。在美國，大部分醫院都有泌乳師能諮詢，經過泌乳師的幫助，我在醫院成功餵奶，覺得神創造人太神奇了！回家後，許多媽媽朋友們也傳授親餵母乳的經驗，而這些產品是幫助媽媽們親餵時能減輕一些負擔。

襯衫、哺乳上衣

第一次帶寶寶們出門時，我想要美美出門就選了一件連身裙，想說這件衣服前面有幾顆扣子可以打開餵母乳，結果開口不夠大，完全無法餵奶！各位新手媽媽，千萬不要犯下我這種錯誤。那次必須把整件連身裙脫掉才能餵母奶，天阿好赤裸！餵母乳時，襯衫類的衣服非常有用，許多店也有賣專門餵母乳穿的衣服。

乳頭護罩

記得親餵幾天後，乳頭有夠酸痛，有了這保護層讓我快要放棄餵母乳時撐下去。放在內衣裡保護乳頭，讓乳頭不受傷。連泌乳師來家裡諮詢時，也說Silver Nipple Shield非常棒！雖然這個材質比較貴，但一分錢一分貨，大推！

乳頭滋潤霜

感謝朋友送的Eath Mama Nipple Butter！雖然我沒遇到乳頭龜裂流血，但許多媽媽提到這問題時都感嘆餵奶辛苦程度。我從開始餵母乳第一天，我就會在餵奶後塗上一層滋潤霜，然後放乳頭護罩，因此我沒遇到乳頭龜裂的問題。買前記得讀一下，確定餵奶前不需要擦掉。還有，我也會把這乳頭滋潤霜拿來當護唇膏使用（很好用耶！）
