About Me & Contact Me

I'm a mother of kindergartener and a toddler. I am also a consultant for Passion Parties. Working from home allows me great flexibility with my family. As the mom of biracial children, I've been mistaken for the nanny, depending on which DC Metro park I visit. That's an entire blog post on its own!

Talking and teaching race to children can be tricky, especially when raising two Hapa children (Vietnamese-American and African American). I don't have all the answers (sometimes none at all), but I'll share them on this site because there are many parents of mixed race children who have the same challenges.

I'm constantly on the look out for books, toys, movies, etc that will teach our kids diversity as well as allow them to see people who look like them in books, toys, and movies. Whenever I find a good source, I'll share them here!

Thanks for joining my parenting journey as I discuss diversity and race as well as my Android app obsessions (among other things).

You can also find me blogging my foodie and creative adventures (with and without the kids) at Cup of Creativi-Tea. I'm also the Living editor for The DC Moms collaborative blog.

I also run From Left to Write an online book club consisting of over 90 bloggers. We read a book together and each write a personal post inspired by it.
