I was at a children’s consignment shop. Between browsing for clothes and (more unnecessary) toys, I spotted a Maya Wrap ring sling. It was a beautiful, colorful pattern. It was in pristine condition. It was my size. And it was a [...]

I am not perfect in my usage of the English language. My grammar and spelling are good, but I don’t judge individuals if theirs aren’t.
However. If it’s a major organization or publisher, then I take special notice and expect more.
Yesterday, I ran across a glaring error on NBCOlympics.com, on the article about Nastia [...]

Bito and Cupcake watched their daddy watering our garden today…but every now and then, The Husband would turn the hose so that the stream of water would spray on the glass in front of their faces.
Their screeches and giggles of delight made my entire day.

We’re having a good time watching the Olympics around here. I confess that I’m uber-impressed with watching the human body do cool things: contorting to different shapes in diving, gliding across the water of the pool at amazing speeds, showing incredible amounts of strength in gymnastics, reacting quickly in badminton…

My blog has a cool new look to it!
My friend Lisa took an existing Blogger template and customized it just for me. See all the playful polka dots and stripes! Notice she kept my original Wife and Mommy banner at the top! And I love that all the colors coordinate (something I [...]

There’s so much that can put my life into perspective when I’m feeling down about things.

My kids are bi-racial. Have I mentioned that? I don’t think I have here.
I’m Asian-American. My folks immigrated to this country and two years later, I was born. I effectively beat my parents, sister and the rest of the extended family to citizenship! I had the usual experiences immigrant children have being raised [...]
