Hello everyone!

Today is my birthday. I’m officially over the 55 mph speed limit. 😁

My family and friends have been helping me celebrate early. My mom wished me happy birthday twice this week! My brother Đăng sent a fun surprise (below, far left) that I’ll occasionally use in my dispatches and videos! As usual, my pal Karen sent the BEST greeting card (👇 is by Emily Chan who makes the punniest stuff.)

A fun stamp from my bro, a super cute card from a friend, and a mess of Shanghai soup dumplings.

Rory took me shopping for clothes and a dumpling lunch. We’re gearing up for the February 23 DIY Dumpling class! (Register here and don’t forget the paid subscriber discount code here.)
