The Origin of Momley


The part of the world I come from, they have this cute way of adding “lu” after a name to make it endearing! When I got married to my husband Craig, I guess the most natural thing for me to do was to call him “Craiglu” … I don’t know why, but I started calling him “Craigley”! He mistook that for “Craig Lee” and was very happy. He grew up wanting to be related to Bruce Lee and this way, his wish came trueJ. After our first child was born, my husband started referring to me as “Mom Lee”. Little did he know that one should spell it as “Momley”!

I am sure there are other children in the world who call their moms “momley” and that puts me in very good company.
