Star Wars Lightsaber Chopsticks!

If you son (or daughter) is a Star Wars fan like our boys, they would love these chopsticks! They're made in Japan.

They'll probably end up playing with them at the dinner table...probably not a good idea, you think?

They're coming out in November...should we sell them??? Hmmm....

A Mom's Battle for Her Life

I recently heard about Jennifer Yim through an article written by Audrey magazine, an Asian American Women's Lifestyle Magazine. Jennifer, who is 27 years old , was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, called gastro intestinal and ovarian cancer with Krukenberg tumors, Stage 4. Apparently, this form of cancer is most common among women of Korean and Japanese descent. She fights a difficult battle against a diagnosis which doctors consider terminal. Her family is praying for a miracle and have not given up hope. They are in the process of setting up a dream foundation for Jennifer so that she can fulfill her desires to travel and spend time with her 5 year old daughter, Summer. If you would like to learn more about Jennifer, you can visit her blog at savejenn.wordpress.com. Her sister, Jane, is currently taking donations via her paypal account under her email, jyim80@hotmail.com, please specify your donation is for "Jennifer's wish." Photo is of Jennifer and her beautiful daughter Summer.

New! Personalized Doljabi Poster Board

After much requests, we now have a Doljabi Board for boy and girl! Can customize with child's name and picture.

The poster board is usually placed at the front sign in table for guests to "guess" which item the child will pick during the Doljabi.

Price is $24.99 which includes the cutouts for the cups/containers. The size is 12"x18" and will come rolled up in a poster mailer. We recommend getting a frame to put this in. Makes a great keepsake!

Book Highlight: My Talking Dictionary

This dictionary is a great tool to help your child and (yourself) learn commonly used Korean words. The words are written in English, Hangul and English transliterations. The best part is that it comes with a CD Rom so that you can find out how to pronounce the words and listen to them as often as you like! Categories include human body parts, clothes, family, house, fruit, vegetables , animals and so on.

A great first step to start teaching your child Korean! We are excited to add this new book to our selection of Korean learning books.

Fun Dol Photo Idea

Ok, I came across these pictures and had a good laugh. Here's another dol idea that is popular in Korea...superimposing your baby's face on a movie poster! Not sure if this will catch on in the US but it sure is funny.
