I’m a Korean immigrant mom raising two kids in Toronto with my husband, who grew up in Canada.

I write about schools, kids’ activities, cultural differences, and all the Canadian parenting rules I usually learn only after making the mistake first. 😂

If you’re also figuring it out as you go, welcome.
You are my people. ❤️

Meet the Family

Big brother B

A sweet and shy five-year-old—with a wild side. Put on some hard rock, and he’ll start playing air guitar and drums like he’s onstage. He’s a huge fan of Pokémon, Minecraft and Super Mario Bros.

He is also Mommy’s biggest fan. ❤️

Baby girl Mimi

She went through phases of identifying herself as Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, Ariel from the Little Mermaid and Isabela from Encanto before finally settling on the famous ☆Elsa☆.

She has since evolved even further and now identifies herself as “Elsa, Bitsy, Kitty Who Says Meow.”

Mimi has such a big personality that I don’t even know where to begin. According to pretty much everyone who has met her, she is… “something”. 

Daddy

Loves cooking and takes presentation just as seriously as flavour. He builds each dish in stages, taking his time to create layers of flavour—and then plates it like it belongs in a restaurant.

Honestly, I don’t know why this guy never went to culinary school.

Loves the kids, loves the family, loves the retro video games.
