An Ajumma Must-Have

  When you go grocery shopping here in Seoul, you’d better have a plastic in your bag or a grocery bag for your purchased items if you don’t want to spend a penny for the grocery plastic bags. So, I have this cute little bag in my baby’s stroller all the time. Just in case. [...]

Baking Banana Zucchini Bread On Children’s Day

Kiddoes woke up early yesterday. As soon as Little Dynamo’s eyes were open, he asked me “What day is today, mommy?” “Today is Children’s Day”.

Language Confusion Arising from the Korean Englishee

My Little Dynamo is taking a Kumon English class with a Korean Kumon instructor. Most Korean moms would be surprised upon knowing about this as they know I could teach my son English better than the Korean English instructor.
