I’m a boy mom! Now I have to throw out all the pink baby stuff?

April 4, 2016 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong3 Comments

Welcome Leonardo Miguel

It’s official–I’m a boy mom! “Boy mom” is a term I learned about on Twitter to designate that special species of mothers who parent a little boy. The #boymom knows all about frogs and snails and how crazy active little boys are and how sometimes it looks like they’re going to kill each other or […]

How to help your kids become energy saving superstars

As all exhausted parents know, kids have tons of energy to burn. My kindergartner is a dynamo from the time the sun comes up till well after sundown. Some days are a blur. She loves living the rock star kid life (and even got a keyboard to sing about it). She plays hard, but she’s […]

The Pee Wee Herman Tequila dance sent me into labor

December 12, 2015 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong1 Comment

Ready to pop At nine months’ pregnant, I was more than ready for my baby to come. My doctor was an enthusiastic proponent of dancing, having performed “Be Our Guest” for me and my daughter, complete with a can-can routine (wish I had that one on video!). He suggested that I dance in order to […]

My little girl is going to be a big sister, and I'm having a boy!

I’m having a boy. Hundreds of thousand of women do it every day. So then why am I freaking out? A little context: my first child was a girl, and I felt like I was in familiar territory. The world of sugar and spice and everything nice, of princesses and tutus, wasn’t foreign to me, […]

How to pick a baby name…or not!

September 3, 2015 By: Lauren Ivy Chiong19 Comments

How to pick a baby name: On Night You Were Born quote: "On the night you were born...So enchanted with you were the wind and the rain That they whispered the sound of your wonderful name."

I was at the library looking at the bulletin board full of stars displaying the names of kids who had signed up for the summer reading program. Some interesting names…but the most interesting was Ebeneezer. Yes, someone has named their son “Ebeneezer”…as in, Scrooge? I’m sure these parents love their kids…in their own peculiar way. […]
