Warning visitors! If you come stay at my house, I may put you to work.
I’m not opposed to child labor. LOL Anyway, Taylor loves helping. She really does!
Em, on the other hand, is a bonafide ADULT.
Plus, I’m right alongside them…cooking with Taylor, mowing the grass.
They’re just ASSISTING!
Yes, a little bit of work does the body good.

My daffodils are in full blossom and I’m lovin’ it! I cut some so that I can enjoy them inside. Fresh flowers are da bomb! -Jane, Lover of Fresh Flowers.

Besides being able to bike to one of the largest shopping strips around, we also have access to several neighborhoods that all connected and are great for biking. We take ALL the kids biking and luckily, I have enough bikes for us all. Everyone is riding their own bike except for Louise. She doesn’t feel [...]

By Jane on July 5, 2010
Our swim team had their first mock swim meet. Since we’ve never been on a swim team before, this was interesting to see and experience.I was amazed at how much work has to be done for a swim meet. PARENTS ARE WORKIN’ IT All parents are needed to help pull off such an event [...]

Just thought you might be missing Monk and Ducky. It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned them. They’re still around. They’re just chillin’ with their friends. -Jane, Grandma to Monk & Ducky.

Visiting with the elderly neighbors on a walk to the Grandparents’ house.
By Jane on July 12, 2011
The other day we were going to go for an after-dinner walk to my parent’s house. Since their house is less than a mile away it’s a great short, casual walk. First we play a little soccer in the yard. Benz is strapped in and ready to go into a Baby Bjorn given to me [...]

Does this give you any kind of inclination as to the state of my brains? I almost walked out the door like this. Only after a bit did I realize that something didn’t feel just quite right. Luckily I did make the necessary adjustments prior to venturing out in public. -Jane, Preggar Brained.

Benz explodes from being in the 5th to the 70th percentile in two months!
By Jane on August 1, 2011
It’s time for Benz’s two-month doctor’s visit and I’m running late. Surprise, surprise. I didn’t even remember that I had the appointment for that day when I woke up in the morning. I had just randomly called to see when my appointment would be, thinking it was in a few days, but the receptionist advised [...]

Baby Boom in 2011: Celebrities who are also expecting a baby.
By Jane on April 16, 2011
It seems there is something in the air…people are getting pregnant left and right. I noticed there were a TON of celebrities who are expecting this year too. It’s the year of the Rabbit according to the Chinese/Vietnamese Lunar Calendar…the luckiest of all the signs. This is also my sign. So, maybe that’s it??? Anyway, [...]

My dear sister, Lucy Lu, introduces me to OXYCLEAN and so I use to to get the TEA STAINS off my glasses. Another reason why I love Oxyclean? This is my kitchen hood vent, which was WAY OVERDUE for a replacement. However, given it’s unique, custom size, I’m too lazy to go look for one. [...]

What kind of motorcycle is this?
By Jane on September 16, 2010
I passed this motorcycle on the road the other day and it definitely caught my eye. I’m not sure what kind this 3-wheeler is but it’s dang futuristic. Most bikes don’t have that back rest. Having that makes being a passenger seem not so bad. Looks like some kind of transformer. Do you convert into [...]

While the girls are playing on the playground, Dick and I go for a walk with Benz. Only, it seems like it’s just the two of them… Dick took a few of me but they were just hideous. Not solely the fault of the photographer. I wish Dick had some photo skillz so that I [...]

Our tribute to Sunday Dim Sum Brunch
By Jane on October 4, 2009
We love to eat Dim Sum but there are no restaurants that have this in our area. So, I have the next best thing. Frozen dumplings. So, I whipped up these fried vegetarian leek gyoza for our Sunday “brunch”. It’s fast, you just follow the directions on the bag, and voila! Serve with some sauce [...]

Bush wacking and cleaning up my dump of a backyard.
By Jane on February 25, 2011
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! [...]

Not a fan of laptops but starting to change my mind.
By Jane on August 29, 2010
At Starbucks again. The weather these days is just perfect. I bring the hubby’s tiny laptop so that I can kill two birds with one stone (Not that I would ever intentionally try to kill a bird. Yes, I did peg that one bird but that was an accident.) I’m not a fan of laptops. [...]

Louise cashes in on her two teeth.
By Jane on August 23, 2010
Now that another 2 teeth have given way, it was time for Louise to cash in. However, she first wanted to wait for Eminem, Taylor and Auntie Lucy (who was coming the following weekend) to get here so she could show them off. Louise put each tooth in a box and after having made sure [...]

They’re not little pumpkins, they’re Persimmons! Fruit of the Gods.
By Jane on November 4, 2009
It looks like a tomato or a mini-pumpkin but actually this sweet, crunchy fruit is well loved by Asians and Persians, especially my family. It’s fall and my parents’ Persimmon tree is full of Persimmons. One year, they had close to 500 of these orange beauties on ONE tree! Then we had a late frost [...]

Louise Helps Grandma with the Dishes
By Jane on November 8, 2009
So we’re at the Grandparents house. I love coming here because there is always great Vietnamese food, compliments of my fantastic cooking Dad! Yes, my dad kicks ass at Vietnamese cooking. It’s the reason why I don’t cook alot of Vietnamese food at home. Since I live less than a mile away, it’s just too convenient for me to come [...]

Tenant moves out so it’s off to Gotham City to “camp out” again.
By Jane on June 15, 2010
Although Dick goes to Gotham City all the time, I mostly go when a tenant moves out and the cleaning crew (ME) comes in. So, after showing the car and picking up Louise from swim practice, I pack and load up the car. Yes, it’s time to camp out again. Here’s all our gear. Blankets, [...]
