About Us

For an introduction on both of us, go here to learn about why we are called Ahjummas and why we created the site!

Alyssa 

Hey guys! I'm a wife to my handsome husband Dan, and mother to three adorable kiddos. And as exciting as that honestly is (who knew a two-year-old could eat an entire pack of gum and not barf??), I also like to make time for my hobbies like watching Kdramas and writing books.

I am a published author of two books (Lunula and Inito), and I have a Bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University-Idaho. I like to crochet, and I'm learning to knit, but I don't wear glasses, so don't get too excited over me being a full-fledged ahjumma just yet. When I'm not busy doing any of those things, you can usually find my nose in a book. Or balancing a pencil.

After traveling around the world on a boat fashioned out of Doritos and horseradish I found my true calling as a Norwegian cat herder. This did not prove to be as lucrative as I had imagined so I became the wife of a car salesman and we had a baby girl named Alyssa. Unable to deduce the cause of the baby we had three more. Saddled with a lot of diapers and the major responsibility of teaching them to drive automobiles we aged at an accelerated rate. I am now an old woman who watches kdramas and blogs about my valuable opinion. I love all things Korean. Really. Hopefully I'll suck you in to the addiction and act as a somewhat reputable guide. Definitely see My Love From Another Star. Do not try to make a seaworthy craft out of Doritos and avoid cat herding.
