About Me

I'm the mother to the 8 year old, Meatball and her 2 year old sister, Spaghetti. A most awesome wife to Pretty Pants. A daughter to immigrant, retired Air Force parents, the Colonel and Rambo.

I started this blog in the hopes of sharing parenting stories coming from a 1st generation Filipino-American voice. Sometimes feeling here nor there can get really confusing for me (raised w/traditional Filipino values in American society) Spaghetti and Meatball helps me find that voice in the in-between.

I'm also not a professional parent. I wasn't one of those girls that grew up knowing she wanted children. In fact, I never knew I actually liked kids until I had some of my own! So things I may question, say or do on Spaghetti and Meatball may be offensive or sensitive to some of you but know, I am (like you) only doing the best that I can with what I know. Hopefully, I've created a space for others who have posed these random questions in their heads but never spoke on it. So if you're here and you feel what I'm saying (or not), chime in!

Nuff said, let’s take a ride.

P.S. I also like to blog about my other interests as well, but I call them my "things" or Momma Mina Loves, so look out for those too.

Thanks for hanging out!
