I had a disturbing wake up call today. I was driving Chloe to her grandparents house. We were about a block away when I felt something move, crawling around in my right shoe, next to my big toe. First of all - ew. While surpressing screams because I didn’t want to scare my daughter, who [...]
I miss my sister already. They got home safe and sound yesterday. The visit was too short. Chloe absolutely adored having them around to play with everyday. When we told Chloe that Mason is her cousin, she said, “no, he’s my brother.” I don’t know where she got that, but she did. And she practiced [...]
Fate is funny. I believe in fate. I believe that I’m meant to be on this path. I believe that not only am I meant to be on this path in life, but that I need to earn that by making the right decisions and following the right path. I believe that my path and [...]
Yesterday, my sister and her family came!

There is an excellent blog on Kimchi Mamas, click me to read. It discusses being of mixed cultures and “belonging simultaneously to both and to neither.” It is a subject near and dear to me, now more so than ever because I’m raising my daughter who is mixed. I am biracial Chinese/Caucasian and had all [...]
I’ve been hunting around, and there is a disturbing lack of adoption/multicultural scrapbooking supplies. I found like one or two places that have some things adoption related, but it wasn’t exactly what I wanted.I should just start my own company making what I want with all sorts of adoption/multicultural related scrapbooking supplies. Hmmmmm. . . [...]
This past weekend I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this blog and why I write, and why I write what I write. I started this blog nearly a year ago. I began writing because of all of the decisions I was beginning to explore on expanding our family. It was [...]
