Meal 4 Mom - The Pink Ladies Get It Right

California just gets it right when it comes to yuezi meals.  

Today I read about Meal 4 Mom which is another yuezi service meal available for Cali moms.  They deliver "special confinement meals" for new moms in the San Gabriel Valley and even had a tasting most recently in Temple City.  As an ex-Cali and now New Yorker, I am just envious on behalf of all Manhattan / NY moms who do not have access to services like this in NYC.  Isn't this just crazy when you think about it?  NYC is where you can get anything you can imagine delivered to your door and we don't even have something as basic as this for new moms.  

Pink Ladies of Meal 4 Mom, can you please expand to the East Coast?  That herbal fish soup sounds dee-lish!

Learning how to be a Chinese mom

Learning how to be a Chinese mom

When you’re second generation, it’s hard to keep the traditions and customs your mom naturally executed.  Modern motherhood with all the technological advances we have available (think of all the baby gear available like fancy bottles, pumping machines, etc) tends to preoccupy our time, energy and attention.

Here are some ideas to for preserving Chinese culture in your home.

• Do the month aka zuo yuezi - Learn how to be a mom the Chinese way, from your family with love, support and nutritious food.

• Celebrate 100th day birthday for your baby

• Celebrate 1st birthday and play the plate game 

• Celebrate Chinese New Year

• Speak, read and listen to Chinese at home 

• Hire a Chinese nanny to help you foster Chinese culture in your home.  I went a step beyond and matched my daughter's Chinese astrological sign to my nanny's.  Both are born in the year of the tiger!
