My Rocking Cradle

I had been baffled with the attitude of my son’s friend. He’s just a boy, of course. A boy who doesn’t speak nor understand my language. But then again, most boys take it well when I try to speak to them in Korean or give them signals about the things I want to tell them. [...]

They are little only once Lord.
Grant us the wisdom and patience to teach
them to follow in your footsteps
And prepare them for what is to come.

They are little only once Lord.

Don’t let us for one minute think anything is

Weekend was spent outside with the two kids. While my Second-born was sleeping very well in his stroller, First-born took his time to lecture me with his experience-acquired wisdom. We were sitting on a bench, him on my lap when he suddenly remembered that I was not able to play with him in the playground [...]

Article first published as Book Review: The Way of Boys by Anthony Rao on Blogcritics.

I am now a Soccer Mom, literally.
I bring my son to soccer practice every Monday afternoon. Baby Dynamo goes with us, of course. What’s convenient about this is, a shuttle service brings us to the venue and back to the house. Parent/s can go with the kids as long as there are seats available. [...]

While waiting for my son’s school bus this morning, a Korean Super Mom told me about another girl who lives in the same apartment building. She said she’s a stubborn child. Her parents give in to her every whim so their mornings are always difficult. When the girl wants to change her clothes, the parents [...]

It is easy to dislike the tiger mom - both the book and the author.
Immediately after I watched Amy Chua’s interview in CNN for her book “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother”, I raised the extreme parenting method which she seemed to have confidently used in raising her daughters to my husband. Days after, I [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.
If there is one thing I am particular about when it comes to baby care, it is diaper rash prevention.
My Baby Dynamo never experienced diaper rash thanks to my one and only tube of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. [...]

I couldn’t imagine a kid being scared of another kid… to the point of being relieved wheh the kid he is scared of is not around and reporting to his mom, “I’m so happy today, (name of the boy) is not in class”. Wow! That’s miserable.
