Pinay mom parenting her Caucasian/Filipino daughter in suburban America.
Found this meme all over the internet. The Three Things meme. For this one, I interviewed Mary and this is HER list.

The “Why Do You Blog?’ meme was circulating early this year and I was not any active blogger yet to have been tagged or to even be aware of it. Ryan Healy was not tagged but did it to get in the fun and started his own Tag thread. I want to get in the [...]

When Jack and I visited Mary’s classroom for a parent/teacher conference, here is what they have along the hallway. There’s Mary’s Ballerina Turkey.

“Get Up, Mother!”
Another evidence of my husband’s thoughtfulness. He knew I like Drew Barrymore and her movies and he came across this DVD (My Date With Drew) and left it for me to discover on my desk this morning. I liked the movie, it got me teary-eyed when the guy was finally getting his date with [...]
