Multiracial motherhood, love, language & culture.
Planning a birthday party can be stressful. If you ever do a web search for birthday party ideas, your results are bound to return a link to thousands of ideas on Pinterest. And if you click on Pinterest, two more things are bound to happen: You will get addicted to scrolling through the endless pins, […]
Even before I had my boys, I knew I wanted to raise my kids to be keenly aware of the world around them. Given my multicultural upbringing, global and cultural awareness is very important to me and something that I want to pass on to my kids. Since the kids are still little, I’ve tried […]
Two weeks ago, I wrote about the balancing act of motherhood. As moms, we often wear many hats. Between work, house chores, and spending time with the kids, it’s hard enough to fit much else in the schedule. Try squeezing in a side project (like this blog) or a little bit of personal time (to […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. I still can’t believe it’s already Sunday and truthfully, I’m not ready for Monday yet! As I was putting the kids down to sleep last night, I thought about how thankful I am for everything in my life. From the big dinners every year to the little […]
I haven’t written in over a month. I took a much needed break after realizing that I can’t do it all, at least not all at once. Turns out that working full time, being a mom, trying to keep the house in a habitable condition, and establishing a realistic work-out routine all while running a […]

Every year, I look forward to the state fair with the excitement of a ten-year-old kid. To me, the first day of the fair marks the beginning of […]
One of my oldest son’s favorite shirts is a Superman one. He requests to wear it every so often, even when it’s too hot to wear long sleeves in the summer. He’s worn it to the beach, as pajamas, or just to hang out in the house. You name it. I’m not too sure why […]
A few months ago, my husband and I signed up for a three-day seminar on how to enter the real estate business and flip homes. I heard it advertised on Pandora and we both thought it would be a worthy investment of our time. The seminar was three full days starting on a Friday, which […]
