Ruth’s comics are always so sweet and charming. I love the cheeky bit at the end about having to open her baby’s red envelopes haha. 🥰

My sister has a store on Etsy and a customer (!) sent her a beautiful red envelope with a crisp $5 in it. We’ll remember this for-ever. It’s just such an oh-so-thoughtful of a random act of kindness that totally blew my mind.

This is so lovely in every way. Happy New Year to Ruth and her family, especially her sweet little baby bunny.

Oh a baby rabbit, how auspicious! As two Rabbits with a Pig and an Ox, I often think of my family as their zodiac animals. So lovely to see this representation of yours, Ruth. Happy New Year!

Aww! I think I remember the last time Ruth was featured on here, she was pregnant, or mentioned starting to try for a babe? So happy to see she has a little one in her life <3 Happy New Year!

Oh, I loved this!! For almost 2 decades, I lived away from family, and got SO homesick every time the Lunar New Year came around. Then, recently, my hudband and I moved with our toddler closer to my parents. Celebrating Lunar New Year with them this year was special.

So sweet 🥹 I love this.

I celebrated Lunar New Year away from family for the first time this year and this made me tear up! :’)

Happy lunar new year, everyone! May it bring you the fulfillment of your ten thousand wishes. (Ten thousand is not literal, just means a lot) I hope you will all find many things you love in the Year of the Dragon. Now time for the fried food, noodles, dumplings, and in my case, ALSO Mexican food. It is not specifically traditional but it’s super tasty and tastiness = lucky.

Happy Lunar New Year to you as well :)
