24 Hours in my life as a Mom in Korea: Weekend Reality Vlog

What is it actually like being a mom in South Korea? From the "healing" yellow soil paths my toddler absolutely hates to the quiet cafes and the nightly "house reset," this is a raw look at our 24-hour reality. After living in the States for years, moving back to Korea as a mom has been a journey of rediscovering my home through my son's eyes. In this first episode of my "Mom Reality" series, we’re heading to the local park to try Hwangto (황토길) for the first time—let's just say the ants had other plans! We also find time for a quiet 삼겹살 (pork belly) lunch while the baby naps and I share the "Yuk-twae" (육퇴) routine that keeps me sane. Whether you're curious about Korean culture or you're a fellow mom navigating the toddler years, I'm so glad you're here. If you enjoyed this look into our life, please subscribe to join the family! I’ll be sharing more about our life in Korea, cooking, and the ups and downs of parenting every week. 🕒 Timestamps 0:00 Intro: Starting our 24 hours in Seoul 0:27 The Nighttime "Reset" (Cleaning while he sleeps) 🧼 1:25 A quiet moment: Local Cafe vibes ☕ 2:10 Heading to the Park 2:39 The "Hwangto" Healing Path 4:10 How parks in Korea have great infrastructure and are kept really clean by the city 5:10 Lunch: Sizzling 삼겹살 (Pork Belly) 🍖 6:50 Closing thoughts: Why I love raising a family here #momlife #southkoreavlog #livinginkorea #toddlerlife #movingtokorea #dayinthelife #koreanculture #koreanfood #porkbelly #momvlog
