I have a confession to make. I have anxiety/fear

I have a confession to make.

I have anxiety/fear of going to the doctor or anything that has to do with medical stuff. I think it just stems from growing up without insurance and being told not to get sick or break bones or anything because it would cost too much. I’m sure there were other factors too but I associated hospitals with bad things and sickness and death- Not as a place where they help you and keep you healthy.

So once I got a job and had health insurance, I went in for wellness checks but it wasn’t always consistent.

When I was pregnant with A, I never missed an appointment because it wasn’t about me but about her.

Fast forward to now and the last time I went in for a check up was around when she was born in 2013 🤣😬.

But that all changed when I decided I need to take better care of myself so I got a new doctor and got all my checkups. And aside from lack of vitamin D and elevated cholesterol, I’m healthy!

Side note: it used to make me sad as a mom when I would hear this- the best gift you can give your kids is a sibling.

While it may be true to a certain degree, I think one of the greatest gift you can give your kids or your family is being healthy- physically, mentally, emotionally- to work towards that. Which is a lifelong journey.

Anyway, if you haven’t had a check up, mammogram, Pap smear- the whole shebang- go get it done. It will give you peace of mind and/or get you on the road to being healthier. Take care of yourselves friends.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the last two year

I’ve been thinking a lot about the last two years and just how mentally and emotionally tired I’ve felt. I still can’t believe everything that’s happened. 2020 was such a blur of staying indoors, masking, sourdough starters, and looking for toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

As you know, once we were all eligible for a COVID vaccine, we got them. This topic is so touchy for everyone but one thing we all need to do before making decisions is to gather information from a variety of sources and speak to medical experts.

Before COVID vaccines became available for kids 5 years and older, I spoke to our pediatrician multiple times and asked questions about the vaccine.

This helped us make the decision to get vaccinated and it gives me peace of mind whenever we go anywhere because I trust that the vaccines protect all of us from getting really sick if we were to get COVID.

I don’t worry when A goes to her classes or when we go to theme parks, play dates, summer camps, and even as we make plans to travel this summer. I’m excited for a sense of normalcy!

Spending the day feeling grateful to be a mom even

Spending the day feeling grateful to be a mom even though the road to motherhood wasn’t easy and being a mom isn’t always filled with sunshine and rainbows.

Being a mom has taught me to think about how I was raised and how I want to raise my daughter and how to show her love in the way she receives it and to communicate instead of getting upset over unmet expectations.

I am also grateful to have a mom who is still here even though we didn’t always have the best relationship- mostly due to miscommunication and generational differences.

The older I get, the more I reflect on life and I just want to be grateful and thankful for what I have and to work through and heal so that I can be who I’m meant to me. It’s a lifelong journey and I’m thankful to be able to share snippets of it here with you guys.

I hope that whatever you do today, whoever you spend it with, that it will be a lovely day filled with love and gratitude because even in the darkest of days- there is a glimmer of hope and there is good. #happymothersday #mothersday2022 #timeflies #timeisathief #motherhood

I saw a screening of @doctorstrangeofficial last night at @imax HQ! #imax #imaxpartner

No spoilers but I will say that it was very DARK but that’s to be expected since it’s directed by Sam Raimi.

The movie is visually stunning, keeps you on your toes, filled with action, had me covering my eyes at times and startled me.

If you’re a fan of @marvel - you’ll enjoy this story. If you’re sensitive and gets scared easily(like me)- proceed with caution.

Should you take your young kids?- I wouldn’t. But you know your kids best- I would personally screen the movie first or read spoiler free reviews (@raisingwhasians has a great one) and then decide.

Certain visuals from the movie may be upsetting or disturbing to young viewers.

Will you be watching the movie? #drstrange

I’m so excited to partner with @michaelsstores in honor of AAPI to share this project I made! #ad

I’ve been a long time fan of Michaels because they have everything I need whenever I’m starting a new project or when I need some arts and craft supplies.

For this project, I took a picture of my hand making heart fingers. This simple gesture was popularized by Korean celebrities to show their love and appreciation to their fans. Now people use it as a cute way to say “ I love you.” It reminds me to show love to myself as well as to others.

After I edited the picture, I made it into a Cricut cut file. Then I went to @michaelsstores to get this drink tumbler as well as some vinyl for my Cricut Joy machine. Then I placed the vinyl on the tumbler and love how it turned out!

Be sure to follow and check out @michaelsstores to inspire you for your next #MakeItWithMichaels project.

I used to dislike being Korean and just being Asia

I used to dislike being Korean and just being Asian in general.

There were a lot of reasons which I don’t have to go into here but I just wasn’t proud of where I came from.

Fast forward many years and I’ve learned to love my heritage and culture.

Once I started blogging and creating content, I used to get a bit annoyed (maybe not the right word 🤣) or just upset/sad that I would be picked for things because I was Asian.

Perhaps that was true to some extent but I was undervaluing my worth and what I brought to the table as a creative.

I realize now that even if I am “picked” for a project because of my race or culture, I bring so much more than just that to projects. I get to share my unique story and views and hopefully it inspires others regardless of their race and culture.

Because at the end of the day- we all belong to the human race and we all want to be loved, accepted, valued and heard.

What’s the point of this post- just to share with you to be who you were created to be- and to value all that you are because I bet you’re pretty amazing. ✨ #inspiration #inspirational

Documenting the one time where I almost fell into

Documenting the one time where I almost fell into the bushes while taking pictures with @katiepritchard. 🤣🤣🤣💖💖💖

I used to dislike being in pictures but was always good about taking pictures of others. Now I’m more conscious about being in pictures too.

Do you get in pictures often or are you more of a picture taker? #momstaysinthepicture #momwashere
