About

Annie Always is a space for the parts of life I want to hold onto — family, culture, creativity, growth, and the lessons I’m learning along the way.

I’m raising Vietnamese kids in America and learning firsthand how much intention it takes to carry our language and culture into the next generation. I share what’s working for us, what I’m learning, and practical resources that may help other families do the same.

But this space is about more than language. You’ll find pieces of our culture and nostalgia, things I’m creating and loving, and honest glimpses of everyday family life.

Some things may help you teach your kids. Some may remind you of home. And some might simply make everyday life a little more meaningful.

My hope is simple: to preserve a little more of what matters, create things with meaning, and help others do the same.

A little about me

I’m Annie — a Vietnamese American mom, creator, and photographer in Houston.

I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years, but the things I keep coming back to are family, creativity, culture, and building a life that feels meaningful to me.

These days you’ll usually find me creating something, working alongside my family, teaching our kids Vietnamese, documenting everyday life, or dreaming up my next idea.

Annie Always is where I get to bring all of those pieces together.
