I was going thru my old room at my mom’s house. She’s your typical Vietnamese woman that keeps everything. Although I’m not usually a fan of hoarding, there are some things that bring back so many memories and give me a good laugh. So, I think this might be a series of posts as there [...]

Venturing out to the grocery store in the snow.
By Jane on January 6, 2011
We needed a few things from the grocery store, anticipating that we might get snowed in. With the way the snow was coming down, it was a possibility. Dick wanted to take the Caddie. He loves that car. Louise volunteers to dust off the snow on the car. The drive out of our neighborhood. Of [...]

Using the Oreck Orbitor as an alternative to steam shampooing rugs and carpets.
By Jane on January 19, 2012
Now that Benz is mobile, we’ve been wanting to clean the rugs. My mom especially wants to clean her carpets but doesn’t like the shampooing wet method. She wanted to try Oreck’s Orbitor dry cleaning method and since she was already renting it for a day, she let me borrow it so we can clean [...]

Jane has no qualms about child labor. Everyone helps clean the house!
By Jane on August 23, 2011
We had spent our first night at Mr. Bean’s house so the kids could play. The next day, it was time to get to work on our rental property. The first thing we always do when we stay at one of our properties is give it a good cleaning. I don’t like to stay where other [...]

Your daily Benz: Pouty lips and actual tears!
By Jane on July 13, 2011
Sweet Benz is usually a happy, smiling chill baby. But sometimes, when he’s starting to get a little fussy, he does that stick-out-the-bottom lip pout. It’s the cutest thing and when you see it, you just want to give him anything his heart desires! It amazes me how babies innately know how to do this. [...]

Lucy: Sous Chef. We’re making a Persian Chicken Spinach Dish.
By Jane on December 18, 2009
I’m hanging out with my dear sister at her place. She invited me over for dinner and would like for me to cook her some Persian food. I decide to make a Chicken Spinach dish (Aloo Esfinage only without Aloo). We’re all starving because it’s already dinner time and we’re just getting started. I declare [...]

Louise tries to copy my drawings.
By Jane on February 12, 2011
Louise loves art and had seen my sketches of the stick figures I draw laying around. So, she took it upon herself to try to copy my drawings. Here’s what she came up with: She did so good! I love her adorable stick figures! Here’s the comparisons: She also did a few of her own, this [...]

Freezing food makes for less trips to the grocery store. It’s time to be efficient!!
By Jane on January 23, 2010
This year, I’m trying to be more efficient with my time. We’re so busy that I don’t have time to run around to go grocery shopping as often as I do. After spending time with J Lo and Mama F, I noticed how they would freeze meats and veggies so that if they wanted to [...]

Jane Rant: I hate pumping gas.
By Jane on March 4, 2011
I really hate having to stop and get gas. It’s just one of those annoying repetitive tasks! Like doing laundry! I hate standing there, doing nothing, sometimes in the cold, sometimes in the hot (cause you can’t have the car on), and waiting for my gas tank to fill. So mundane. Boring. If I were [...]

One thing that I ALWAYS do when I’m in Toronto is go eat DIM SUM. Actually, we go to this great DIM SUM place in Mississauga. It’s Ron’s favorite. Ron comes here so often that the management knows him AND can even speak some Chinese to them. There are many Vietnamese who can speak Chinese and [...]

My Dick Costs a Late Night Fee…
By Jane on October 29, 2009
If you have seen Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, then you know this song. It’s got a fantastic beat and it’s HIGHlarious. When I listen to music, most of the time I’m paying attention to the beats. So… WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! It contains adult material so if you are easily offended, do NOT [...]

Jane, amateur haircutter, strikes again.
By Jane on May 20, 2010
The boys are in need of a bit of a haircut. So, since I cut J LO’s hair the last time I was in LA, she wanted me to cut the boys hair. As I have said before, I’m definitely no professional and I’ve never been to beauty or hair school. I’ve cut women’s, girls’ [...]

We love tea and my mom knows how much I love tea sets. I have a small collection of different tea sets and so my mom had brought me back my favorite tea set yet! Now I had heard of this tea set from the time that they were in Vietnam because my sister was [...]

When little man wants his boobie, he pretty much wants it NOW. And to avoid a total meltdown when I’m at the store, occasionally, I have to take a break. So, if you ever see me just hanging out in the back seat of my car, it’s NOT because of any backseat shenanigans other than me [...]

Laguna Beach: No, I’m not talking about the teeny bopper show.
By Jane on December 30, 2009
We recently were down in the OC…that’s short for Orange County if you don’t know or watch those teeny-bopper reality shows on MTV. We decided to head to the Laguna Beach so the kids can play. I’m so excited because I got a bunch of great shots. Enjoy!

Pier 1 Fun Lucy and Fanny Mae.
By Jane on September 16, 2010
I love Pier 1. I love all the accessories there. Here are some pics of us browsing around. Comfy Oscar? I would be too! Blinged out EYELASH CURLERS! Really??? I used to use eyelash curlers but I’m so afraid I’m going to rip them ALL out that I only wear mascara now. Plus they curl [...]

Dick combed Carlton’s hair down to be funny. Thelma and I both agree that he looks like the Thin Man from the Charlie’s Angels Movie. Carlton is four and a half (can’t forget the half or he gets upset) and SUPER PLAYFUL. Such a character.

The family goes watch a ladies college-level volleyball game. TN vs Ole Miss!!
By Jane on October 26, 2011
After being annoyed that Dick tried to set blame of the flat tire on me, I was able to get over it so that we could still enjoy watching the Lady Vols play against Ole Miss. From what we hear, there is quite a rivalry between these two teams and so it should be an [...]

Some things run in the family… Guess who else has OCD and a feet picking problem? The Queen herself. See people? Socks don’t make a difference…unless they’re made of iron and have padlocks on them before you can take them off. But then, I guess it would be difficult to find shoes to fit over these socks. And, of course, the [...]

Benz recognizes stranger danger, gives the pouty lip.
By Jane on November 7, 2011
One day I went to Lowe’s to get a mulching kit for my lawn mower. I’ve gone there so many times for things for my lawn equipment that the gentleman who works there, Mr. John Deere, knows me and my girls. I always call ahead and make sure that Mr. John is there when I need [...]
