I PAID LITTLE ATTENTION to the baby blogging phenomenon until I became pregnant last year. Then it hit me: I'm going to be a mom. And I know next to nothing about motherhood.

In researching on the web, I quickly became immersed in blogs about cute baby products, green and organic babyhood, child rearing advice and more. But I also longed to read about the real-world experiences of moms, particularly those who could enlighten me on what it's like to be, well, an Asian American mama.
