I am not a superhero. I'm not a super mom, a super wife, or a super worker. I know, I know you are shocked (read sarcasm). So maybe I outed myself to something you already knew. However, I certainly needed the reminder....

I love my little boy.  He's every bit as much me as he is his father.  Sometimes those attributes completely annoy me, and other times they make my heart absolutely melt.  It's like how all day long your child...

13000 miles. That's how far away my lovely mummy is right now, and most of the time. Before we moved to the US we were still over 3000 miles apart. For 7 years we have been thousands of miles apart....

Social media is all the rage right now - Instagram, Facebook, Periscope, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, and the list goes on. Basically, you name it, someone is using it. These days, people use the different social media channels for so many...

This week has been rough.  Do you ever have one of those weeks where you just want to walk away? Literally, walk out the door and drive into the unknown.  This has been one of those weeks.  By the...

Birthdays, whether we like it or not, are a universally celebrated milestone. Jewish culture commemorates with a bar/bat mitzvah, Mexican culture with a quinceañera.  Korean custom does not disappoint with the first birthday or doljanchi (dol).

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, I wanted to share a story that my mother-in-law, a retired elementary school teacher, recently told me. A little backstory first: in addition to being a loving wife, mother, and nana, she is also...

"Mom......you are soooo annoying!"  I hear this quite a bit from my teenager and it always surprises me because I am really cool.  Well, at least I think I am? I'm a younger mom for having a teenager, I dress...

As Mother's Day approaches every year, I am brought back to the day in 2003 that I lost my mom. I was blessed to be with her for eighteen years of my life before she was taken from me...

Hi sweet baby boy, I have so many thoughts and feelings about you and this special day that I’m not sure where to even start. First off, you should know that Mother’s Day 2015 will always be one of the most...

I get frustrated A LOT.  Before I became a mother, I am pretty sure I never used to get this frustrated. I can’t help it! My 4-year-old daughter is “people-stop-us-in-the-street” adorable, but she is precocious, incredibly stubborn, verbal beyond her years...
