Lately the weather around Metropolis has been overcast and blah with bouts of heavy rain and wind. After being stuck in my house for a couple of days cause I’m not motivated to go anywhere when the weather is like that, I finally was forced to venture out because Louise had to go to Girls [...]

Swimming with jellyfish and squid.
While at the Phu Quoc resort, the family decides to go for a swim in the lovely clear waters. Look how cute Queenie looks. Love the old-school bathing suit! The emerald waters are so clear and beautiful! I’m quite jealous. Love this picture of MIA’s parents. Look what my dad spots swimming amongst them…jelly fish! [...]
Vietnam??? Looks more like Hawaii. The fam visits a popular Western Resort, Phu Quoc.
My mom had heard of a popular island, Phu Quoc, that had been renovated into a beautiful resort where mostly, the clientel are Westerners and Europeans. She had heard it was so popular that it was nearly impossible to find a hotel room because it was their peak season and they were booked! Well, they were [...]
When everyone went to Vietnam: Visiting the Chi Khiem Royal Concubine Temple.
It’s taken me some time to get around to posting these pictures of when my parents, sister, and uncle were in Vietnam over the Christmas Holidays cause there were SO many. The last time I posted anything from their trip was when I was quoting words of wisdom from Queenie, her response to me publicizing her words, her response [...]
Swinging high and low.
As I said, while we were working, the girls were playing. Thelma especially loves to swing really high and then jump off. Louise, not so much. She is much more cautious. -Jane, Mother to Swinging/Jumping Girls.
Bush wacking and cleaning up my dump of a backyard.
Winter and the yard work gets neglected, especially since I got pregnant in the fall, there’s so much that I should have done prior to winter but simply didn’t have the time or energy. Since we’re somewhat cleaned up the front, and my backyard is looking like one big dump…time to get to work again! [...]
Taking the Classroom Outside
Recently, we’ve been having some amazing weather for February in Metropolis. Sunny, mid 60s and beautiful. So, we moved the classroom outside, cause you can do that when you homeschool. The girls just spread out a blanket and bring their assignments outside. I’m also there in the event there are questions. And, I’m getting the [...]
We try out a new park.
Pics from the new park that we were on the way to when my parents were following me. The sky was quite dramatic that day, especially since we got there around sundown. As the parents, we thought it necessary to test out the equipment to make sure it would be safe for the kids. LOL [...]
Old Asian Drivers. Need I say more.
Sadly, my parents Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac fall in the same category as those old Asian drivers that people so often get frustrated at. We were going to a new park and they were following us in their car. Except, my mom is driving (She always drives because she gets motion sickness if she [...]
Being a great parent is when…
Being a great parent is when you let kids be kids and let them bring out the kid in you. Even if it means you must don girly cupcakes & hearts underwear on your head. He is quite the Dad isn’t he? I don’t know too many men who would let their kids put underwear [...]
