It’s been a while since we have updated. This has mostly been because having a new baby is so hectic, plus Hugh has been busy with work stuff. We originally had vlogged our baby girl’s 100 Days as a separate video, but as time went by, I realised we needed to update everyone about the other things that have been happening. For us, it feels like we are just trying to get past this early stage of having kids before we can become more consistent. I always have comic ideas but need a new drawing tablet before I can continue. Hugh’s work deals a lot with the behind the scenes of YouTube and social media but ironically it means he has less time for our own channel.

The 100 Days celebration used to be bigger in Korea, with a ritual aspect to it, but these days it may only be a small family gathering and a photo shoot. We only did the photo shoot and even that was stressful. But I do like acknowledging 100 days and feeling a bit more freedom to go outside with my baby. Traditionally, the mother and baby would not leave the home for 100 days and even today in Korea people still somewhat abide by that rule. If I went out with her before 100 days the first questions the old women in the neighbourhood would ask is, “Has she had her 100 days yet?!”

Rather than having to buy the props for a photo shoot, there are companies that hire packages out. There are a range to choose from, depending if you want it to look very traditional, or have more of a modern look. There are also many different hanboks (the traditional clothes) to choose from. As we show in the video, it is delivered to you and has instructions on how to set it up.

We also give a glimpse into seeing my family again as they were finally able to come to Korea. My brother was able to move to Korea last year (he was living in Japan), but my parents had to wait until Australia opened up again and Korea allowed Australian tourists. It was been wonderful to see some of my family again and to see Yul reconnect with them, as the last time he has seen them he was only two years old.
