Seriously, don’t underestimate the awesomeness of keeping a pocket dictionary on you at all times. With smart phones it’s way easier too because you can just use an app. I personally use the Google Translate app and find myself taking advantage of it every single day. Whenever I start to notice a word or phrase used repeatedly that I don’t already know, I look it up. This is such a great tool to use to grow your vocabulary and even learning commonly used sentences/phrases. . . . . . #learnchinese #chineselanguage #中文 #学中文 #learnmandarin #studygram #studyhacks #studymotivation #selfstudy #languagelearning #studycorner 
Wow, this photo takes me down memory lane. @heydanielwu and I took this selfie at Disneyland Anaheim in February 2018. So much has happened since then and young Daniel and Bethany had absolutely no idea what lay ahead of them. Since this photo was taken we became pregnant, had our baby, moved from California to Texas, our business really started taking off, we traveled A LOT for work and pleasure, and then 2020 (we all know about that so I won't expound), and we lost several loved ones. In this photo I can see the endless possibilities that were before us. Now we are older, wiser, and definitely more humbled. Yet, we still have that fire burning in us to live our lives to the fullest. So while we may not be the same young, naive couple we were a few years ago, we are still believing in our dreams and trusting God with our exciting future. . . . . . #throwback #thisisus #backintheday #smallblogger #instablogger #lifestyleblogger 
One of my favorite things that Daniel and I did while we were in Japan was to go to a tea house. We didn't do the traditional tea service, but even in a more casual setting, it was beautiful. Our server took such pride in preparing our tea for us and bringing out our treats. I doubt I will ever forget sitting in this tea house, looking down at the busy street below and watching people come and go from the Asakusa Temple. . . . . . #ilovetea #teaaroundtheworld #asakuajapan #tokyojapan #unforgetableexperience #mytravelgram #traveltheworld #travelbug 
I've been itching to get back behind that camera and take pretty pictures again. The pretty wildflowers in Texas have been reminding me of this stunning styled shoot that I participated in last March. . . .

Before I became a mom, I had heard that worrying about your child(ren) will be a constant part of your psyche. That is SO true though. I went through the first 18 months of my son's life struggling through post-partum anxiety (people should really talk about that more IMO, I had only heard of post-partum depression before). For the last 6 months the weight of that anxiety has fallen off of me. But I still worry pretty much every day. Every night I find myself compulsively checking to make sure he's still breathing. And over the past year, my worry for how my son will be received in society has increased. I worry that he will be too "White" for some, too "Asian" for others. He's not going to fit neatly into these stupid little race boxes that this country has become obsessed with. I worry what beliefs society (and schools) will try raming down his throat. That one day he will be seen extra negatively and be put down for the priviledge of his heritage and the next be used as a pawn for "social justice warriors" to use. I worry that he will be pressured to feel like he needs to resent the race of his parents. That he will be judged by his skin color and not for his character. Are these worries blown out of proportion? Maybe, maybe not. But they are real worries that I have. These aren't worries I ever imagined having before becoming a mother. But unfortunately, I have them, and believe that they have some merit to them. And that makes me sad. What are some things that you worry about for your child(ren)? . . . . . #momtalk #parentingishard #toddlermomlife #momlifestyle #motherhoodintheraw #boymom #momsofinsta #motherhoodthroughinstagram #mindfulmom #momlifebelike #momlife #motherhoodrising #throwbackthursday #tbt
