My Cinderella Girls working hard to clean their room.
By Jane on December 30, 2010
After we get the old bed out, there’s still plenty of cleaning to do prior to moving in and setting up the new beds. The girls reminded me of this phrase that I’ve must have repeated before, “It always gets worse before it gets better Mommy!” Yep, true dat, girls. But I’ve trained these girls [...]

Impromptu photo shoot while picking up Lucy at the airport for Labor Day.
By Jane on September 21, 2011
I’m so utterly behind on blogging that I’m just now posting our Labor Day weekend pics. This is me, waiting for dear sis to arrive at the airport. Today, I’m donning my Princess Leia hair look. The girls always want to come with me to pick up their Auntie. Somehow we ended up getting there [...]

The No-TACKY-EYE-CRAP-in-the-yard Association.
By Jane on May 13, 2010
I woke up to a SUPERFABULOUS Saturday. I walk out my front door and I’m greeted by my Buddha. Buddha is so great to come home to. Isn’t his smile contagious? (He’s still PIMPED up from my party.) The air is FRESH, COOL and a brisk 60F on this beautiful Saturday morning. Because we live [...]
Thelma gets a small acting job…with speaking lines.
By Jane on December 16, 2011
Thelma gets called in to do a job where she actually has speaking parts. She’s so super duper excited because she currently LOVES her drama class and she has been waiting for a job to come along. Remember her last job was when she was making cookies for a cookbook. That was only last year and [...]

Pregnancy pictures for my expectant new parents. Molto Bella!
By Jane on February 16, 2010
I recently had the privilege of taking some maternity photos for my dear friends and wanted to share. You remember my friends, Tiffany and Patrick? (Click HERE). Since I didn’t do their wedding pictures, I told them I would do their maternity pictures. With about 150 edited pictures, I’m going to have to sift through [...]

Baby Bellas and Basil Vegetarian Spaghetti Recipe.
By Jane on February 3, 2012
I haven’t been doing too many recipe blogs because they usually take me too long but this one was a special request and is real simple and easy. Since Dick has had his Koontitis issues, he’s gone Vegetarian…and actually VEGAN. So, I’m cooking more vegetarian dishes these days. The kids and I still eat meat, [...]

Some people just don’t get the social cues.
By Jane on August 10, 2010
I was at the Asian grocery store the other day and it was PACKED! It’s the day that all the produce comes in FRESH and everyone always comes that day. So, I’m standing in line, which is backed up, and there’s a woman at the register who is yammering away. You know the kind…the ones [...]

The girls noticed a pay phone the other day and commented: “Mommy look! You don’t see much of these anymore!” So true. With the advent of the cell phone, who needs a pay phone these days? Good riddens though. The earpiece on those things are nasty! The last time I used one was over ten [...]

Phu Quoc at Night: Are you an adventurous Seafood Lover?
By Jane on March 1, 2011
In Vietnam, there’s always plenty to do at night. Vietnamese locals are always working and many of the businesses (especially places to eat) are open until the wee hours. Nighttime is when all the fishermen come out. \ This must be what they’re fishing for…late night eats in town. In Phu Quoc, they have a [...]

Happy Accident #3: We got a turd on the way.
By Jane on November 29, 2010
Yes, that’s my bloated belly. Yes, I over-indulged and thoroughly enjoyed all the yummies we had for Thanksgiving. Yes, I ate too much. However, this is only partially why I’ve got the added weight. We are excited (and initially very surprised) to find out that we have our “turd” happy accident on da way. What can [...]

Making use of old clothes. My new/old wardrobe.
By Jane on January 21, 2010
Remember I said I was going to try to use more of my clothes that are collecting dust? I’m trying to use something different daily that I haven’t worn in a long time. This takes alot more time getting ready as I have to be creative putting an outfit together, but it’s loads of fun [...]

We would like to announce that little Benz will no longer be a little brother but later this year will be a big brother. Yes, you can pick up your jaw off the floor now. No we did not plan it although for me, it’s not really a big surprise. Dick could look at me [...]

Procrastinator turned Multitasker. Carpe Diem!
By Jane on November 10, 2009
The other day I was swamped with work to do because I had procrastinated for far too long on things that must be done. Procrastination was now biting me in the ass because I was missing out on one of the most beautiful days of Fall being that it was warm, sunny and mid-60s. While [...]

Trung Thu- Vietnamese Fall Moon Festival
By Jane on September 20, 2010
Every year, there is a Vietnamese tradition for the family where the kids get together and light up candle lanterns close to the full moon in celebration of the harvest. It’s called the Mid-Fall Moon Festival, which I thought was odd because officially, Fall isn’t even here yet. But, whatevs…Our community had one over the [...]

By Jane on February 19, 2010
Since Dick and I were arguing about making the bed, there was no time to make dinner. So, I just threw some pasta together…you can get all the exact ingredients (for the major stuff) in this recipe at TRADER JOE’S. We discovered this great tapenade pasta one day while shopping at Trader Joe’s where they [...]

Oscar roasting on an open fire.
By Jane on December 17, 2009
I had a little bit of fun with Oscar today. It’s a wonder why he’s not that fond of me. Maybe it’s because I’m roasting him over an open flame? Oscar doesn’t ever make a peep but in his head, I’m sure he’s saying, GET ME OUTTA HERE PLEASE! I’M NOT A STOCKING STUFFER! I [...]

I was first introduced to Bonsai’s from watching Mr. Miagi pruning them on the Karate Kid. When I actually saw them in person, I just LOVED them. I have a love for trees and tree shapes as it is but a miniature version is just GORGEOUS!! It so happened that the annual Bonsai show was going [...]
