Welcome to Kimchi Mamas!

What better name for a blog written by a group of Korean and married-to-Korean mothers than Kimchi Mama? After all, we're a little spicy, plenty fiery, and sometimes? We like to get pickled.

The beauty of kimchi—like the beauty of mothers—is that there are so many different kinds. There is something for every taste.

Do you have to be Korean to be a Kimchi Mama?  Not at all. In fact, you might be one already!

Are you strong with a sharp a sharp bite? You might be a Kkaktugi Mama.

Are you mellow and sublime? Perhaps you're a Dong Chimi Mama.

Maybe your cool exterior presents one face to the world, but inside you're full of surprises, you Possam Mama, you.

Whatever kind of Kimchi Mama you might be, we hope you find something here that suits your tastes. And, if it gets too hot, we always have a cold beer to slide your way.

We hope you enjoy Kimchi Mamas!

Welcome and congrats, Kimchi Mamas! So glad you could make it. :) Been loving what I've been reading so far, and looking forward to more. Rice Daddies got your back! ;)

BTW, my wife, who's Pinay, is very excited about this blog. Just the other day, she was saying that, between some of your contributors' blogs, MetroDad, Twice The Rice, and Lumpyhead's Mom, almost all the blogs she reads are by Koreans! ;) You're taking over the internet, one parenting blog at a time...

I'm so glad I found your blog! I was googling for soon dubu chigae recipes, and there you were! And I just happened to find my friend Jae Ran in your midsts! I'd love to join Kimchi Mamas if you guys are accepting any more Korean mamas out here. :)

Thanks,
Kyong

I am throwing a baby shower for a friend who is from Korea and am looking for any traditions for a Korean mama who's expecting her first. Any ideas?

Hello Kimchi Mamas!

I am so happy I found your blog. I am the mother of a 1/4 Korean little girl (though she looks more like her dad than, I love her little almond eyes!). We also have another 1/4 Korean on the way! I am also the owner of an online shop called Little Snuggle Buggles and I make custom podegis! I do a little research on the market every few weeks to see if anyone else is selling them and I came across your blog. It's great to see people enjoying this way of carrying their babies. I love it and that's why I started my business. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you ladies!

My Korean-American husband told me about this website. I think its great because I can teach our boys about my culture(Hispanic), but, neither one of us can teach them about Korea. I would love to teach them more than kimchi(sp) and hanboks. Any suggestions PLEASE pass them along.
