“Talofa Lava” {I’m fancy now that Leah has taught me to say “hello” in Samoan.}
How was your weekend?
Don’t you wish it was 3 days?
Me too.
Join me in fawning over our queen today:
Meet Leah of Far From Perfect Mamma
Leah just finished a blog redesign {nothing like an email telling you your going to be featured to get things moving!} so be sure to check it out and tell her how pretty she is!
Leah says:
Talofa Lava! That’s “hello” in Samoan…pretty much one of a few phrases I know. Yes, I’m married to a Samoan man, but I have fallen short when it comes to learning the language, among so many other things. I didn’t want to always be a mom (and I am still not sure how I feel about it!). But, that is me being honest and what makes me Far From Perfect. I write about imperfections in my daily life. I might be a FFPWife, FFPMaMMa and therefore have many FFPMoMents. I share many of those stories along with the challenges and blessings of raising a toddler in a bicultural Samoan home as well as being a step-mom to an 18 year-old daughter. Looking forward to meeting fellow SITS Girls!
Leah recommends:
Measure
1. Leave a short comment below to “roll call” {hi. howdy or here! will do}
2. Go to Leah’s site and leave her a few comments- like the ones you want left for you….




















Congratulations on your SITS day! Heading over to check out your blog

I have a cross cultural marriage too. I am Indian and my husband is half-Italian and half-Puerto Rican. We were both born in the States, so we are American first and foremost, but we are still really tied to our respective cultures. Can’t wait to learn more about your experiences!

Kiran, PLEASE hold on to your culture and if possible even learn more about it. Culture is so much more than what we look like and it will make your lives much more rich. Sounds like you have a beautiful mix. I visited India 10 years ago and loved the people. The color that is used in the clothing and food brought much needed life to a country filled with such poverty.
