Happy Chinese New Year!


Happy Chinese (Lunar) New Year! We're now in the year of the sheep/goat/ram.

I always feel a bit crazed during this time of the year. I'm still getting over the winter holidays (Christmas and New Years) and now we're going into Chinese New Year. 

I admit, I don't follow traditions as a lot of families may but, I still do things I used to do as a kid. Cleaning the house, eating celebratory foods and wearing red/new clothes to name a few. Sometimes I feel like a "bad Asian" for not knowing a lot about my culture (my parents passed away when I was younger) but I try to keep in mind that what my parents did teach me I can carry on regardless. Hopefully, I'll be able to pass on these "little things" to my baby. 
It's not always what you do but how you do it, right?

Cheers!
