Keto diet + young kids

On August 2018, Quinn was on the Keto diet for about 6 months to see if it could improve her seizures. If restricting a little human from indulging in her favorite pasta and all things delicious and carbie sounds like a nightmare to you, your feelings are warranted. However, it is not as disastrous as I had imagined. Here are some tips and tricks we learned in that keto chapter. I’ve even included an easy-cleanup Keto whipped cream recipe at the end that my cubs LOVE to this day! If you have cubs you need to fatten up, don’t miss the recipe!

Quinn’s hairstyles

When you look back on old photos, the female hairstyles tend to change year to year, more so than the males. I thought it would be fun to look back on Quinn’s hairstyles and the challenges and solutions we’ve had with it.

Perks of the birthday parties

On Ty’s birthday week, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how we used to celebrate Ty. It all began when Ty was just about to turn one years old. He had plenty of Aunts and Uncles who wanted to not just celebrate, but volunteered to make it memorable. With no kids of their own yet, Ty’s parties quickly grew to be creative and elaborate celebrations.

Ty’s birth story

My oldest turns 10 today and it also marks my 10 year anniversary as a Tiger Mom. My family was a little worried about him being born into the year of the tiger 🐯. My parents kept teasing me that it was a tough zodiac sign and he was going to be a “rough” one. So I did what any defiant first-generation Asian American would do against the negative omens about my first born cub. I leaned into my role as his Tiger Mom.

Eli’s birth story

I had a lot of surprises in 2015, but getting pregnant with Eli was my biggest. For my prior pregnancies, I needed fertility assistance to get pregnant, so we didn’t think we would be in danger of a surprise baby. But…. SURPRISE!!!

Lifehack: Credit Card Rewards

Before you laugh, just know that I pull in $600+ in cash back rewards every year! 🤓 My friends and family know, I’m not a big shopper. So most of this is from purchases I normally make.

COVID-19 / Social Distancing / 2020 Pandemic

Tae Kwon Do class during quarantine week!

How is everyone dealing with social distancing? Doing well? Treating it like an opportunity to tryout new hobbies and learn new skills? Yeah, not us either.

Happy ❤️ Day

We uncovered a long lost vlog that was directed by Ty about our first Valentine’s tradition.

Every year since Eli could eat solid foods, I’ve been making chocolate covered fruit with my kids for Valentine’s day. The tradition started when Mike was working in the city and I thought it would be nice for him to come home to some desserts.
