Introducing Mommymaddie.com

I create content for busy Asian moms who are trying to balance how they were raised with how they want to raise their own kids.

As the daughter of immigrant parents, I grew up with strict rules, high expectations, and little room for negotiation. Now as a mom, I’m figuring out what to keep, what to unlearn, and how to show up for my kids in my own way.

You’ll find a mix of:

  • family travel with teens
  • realistic recipes and shortcuts
  • everyday systems and mom hacks
  • honest reflections on parenting, culture, and identity

This isn’t about doing it perfectly—it’s about figuring it out in real time.

If you’re in that in-between space too, you’ll feel at home here.
