Let’s Talk About Race, Baby
Today’s topic: race.
:::
My parents, who came to America from Korea in their 20s, owned a jewelry store. As a kid, I spent much of my time there helping out. One day, two teenage girls were browsing the display cases. They wasted my time asking to look at this and that, and I obliged because that [...]

Operation Nutsoff From G’s POV
G has graciously offered to guest blog for me over on Parenting today:
I am a total sap. Once, at the end of a horrible Jennifer Aniston movie, Halfmama turned to tell me what a horrible movie that was and found tears running down my blubbering face. I have internal debates over whether Four Weddings and [...]

Today
I have a post over on Parenting today about teachers that I’m supposed to be promoting so here is the link.
However, right now I’m more concerned about a few Kimchi Mamas and their families who live in MN. Mama Nabi, Kyong, and Jae Ran (who I believe is still travelling right now but hopefully does [...]

A Step-by-Step Guide to Remembering Why You Had Kids
I’m over here today with a recap of our Saturday. Poor G had to deal with a vomiting spouse, then a vomiting child this past week.

APG
Today at Parenting: my fascination with APG (Alpha Playground Girl). You know what I’m talking about, right? The Alpha Kids we’ve all known at some point in our lives. Or maybe once were at some point in our lives. (I was more of a Sidekick/Beta or Omega Kid myself.)
There are also some random photos of [...]

Fat-Bottomed Kids
Today’s post topic at Parenting: my heavier-than-normal kids. Yes folks, according to the pediatrician, the twins are officially not skinny.
Silly? Yeah, I think so. I mean, we’re not entering them in any boxing matches. Nor are they in training to be the next Kobayashi (next year Kobayashi, next year!). But at three-years-old, I guess their [...]

Beanie Boop
I’m over at Parenting today, talking about The Bean. Apparently she has decided to skip childhood and head straight for tween-dom, for she’s crushing on our studly friend. It’s a little bit scary witnessing Girlfriend’s advanced flirting skillz since, you know, she’s THREE-YEARS-OLD.
Tomorrow she’ll be asking for a later curfew and trying to sneak through [...]

Views
Over here today. To supplement my Dear AC post (obviously still on my mind) I wrote about the differences in all of us and, more importantly (to me anyway) how this subject pertains to our twins. I know… I don’t tend to let go of things easily. I’m a begrudging, petty kind of person, [...]
