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 [...]

Like brother, like sister. Watermelon improperness…some things never change.
By Jane on September 8, 2011
Looks like someone STILL has not read my post on how to PROPERLY cut a watermelon. Some things never change. For sure, this is not the method. Seriously! Time for damage control. I had to take the knife away from my dear sister-in-law before butchered this watermelon any further. Improper watermelon cutting and eating run [...]

I love going to garage sales when I can find the time. It’s true. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. To me, if I can find something I love and need cheaper than if I were to buy it new, it’s even more valuable! It just so happens that Fanny Mae’s neighbor is having [...]

Pregnancy Craving for TCBY causes Jane to nearly open a can of WHOOP ASS on Dick.
By Jane on March 22, 2011
I was out running errands with Dick the other day when I spot a TCBY. What joy! I’m ECSTATIC because the one by my house has closed down since the sprouting of newer, trendier frozen yogurt shops like Menchi’s. Menchi’s is okay but this Jane loves me some TCBY and prefers it. Guess that’s why [...]
The girls decorate cupcakes with Lucy and Prince Abu-bu.
By Jane on February 6, 2012
My sister Lucy and Prince Abu-bu were in town visiting us again…yay! My girls love it when they visit. So, while they were in town, they decided to make some red velvet cupcakes and try out their decorating skills. The girls and I are huge fans of Cake Boss so this is lots of fun [...]

Jane: Wanted woman by the cops?
By Jane on December 29, 2009
Thelma is missing good ole southern grits so we decide to go get some. She also wants some alone time with me at the Starbucks. I get ready and we’re off. She wants to sit up front and because it’s close, I let her. As we’re pulling out, I see a cop car with a [...]

How to get a perfect soft boiled egg.
By Jane on October 13, 2010
If you are not a fan of hard boiled eggs, you should try soft boiled eggs. A soft boiled egg is an egg that is boiled only to the point that the white is fully cooked but the yolk is still liquid and tasty. Over the weekend, on a fresh beautiful morning, I made Dick [...]

Flood warnings in Metropolis. We get pounded with rain!
By Jane on February 28, 2011
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 [...]

We goin’ ridin’ in our PINK CADILLAC.
By Jane on February 15, 2011
No, not me! Although, I spotted one the other day on the road. It’s such a horrible tone of pink, like florescent or something. Florescent anything is heinous. I’m like, who would drive such a thing? Upon closer examination, I see the side emblem. Ok, Mary Kay, makes sense now…except…it was a DUDE driving the [...]

Adult Halloween Time: We’re going out!!
By Jane on November 2, 2009
So Dick and I haven’t been out in months. We’re just too busy and we enjoy time at home with our girls or playing ping pong. This year, Halloween fell on a Saturday so I was thinking of having a Halloween party at my house. But, like I said, we’re super busy and I just [...]

Loud teeny-bopper destroys my HAPPY time and positivity.
By Jane on September 13, 2010
So while I’m trying to read my POSITIVE magazine (ODE) and feeling all good inside, relaxing, reading, enjoying the light breeze, having my coffee and such, I was ABRUPTLY INTERRUPTED by two teenie boppers who decided to sit down at the table right next to me and start YAMMERING ABOUT LOUDLY at such a level [...]

Because I’m a do-it-yourself Jane and I don’t like paying for things I can do myself, I’ve learned how to do a few electrician-type things around the house. I can change electrical outlets and even install new lights and ceiling fans. Fortunately, I’ve never electrocuted myself. A plus, since I need to retain all the [...]

Your daily Benz: Benz and Piggy.
By Jane on June 22, 2011
Benz’s head often falls to the side, making him look so cockeyed. So, I looked around to see what I could put there to straighten him up a bit. Piggy fit quite nicely. Benz seemed to think so too…look how he’s holding on to it’s feet. -Jane, Mommy to Sweet Benz.

Jane: Non-fan of randomly discarded gum.
By Jane on September 8, 2010
Unbeknownst to me as I stepped leisurely out of my car, I put my foot down right on a JUICY, STICKY GLOB of GUM. Freakin’ A!!! On top of that, I drop my FREE COFFEE CARD from Starbucks right on it as well. Double FREAK! Gum is only good when you’re chewing it, otherwise, it’s [...]

As I may have mentioned, one of the great benefits of homeschooling is that you can take it on the road. This is one of the main reasons why we homeschool.

Da Vinci sleeping pattern on hold while pregnancy ensues.
By Jane on April 12, 2011
I know my posts have been short and sparse…sorry. Not that I don’t have anything to post about…just no time. No time and sleeping more than usual…so even less time (and energy)! It used to be that I would sleep around 10-11pm, then wake up around 2-3am, work and blog until around 6-7am and then [...]

Louise gets sick on her Birthday. We make it up by going to Cracker Barrel.
By Jane on March 18, 2010
SUCKS TO BE SICK ON YOUR BIRTHDAY Louise has been counting down to her birthday since the beginning of the year. It’s crazy how much kids anticipate these things. Sadley, on the VERY DAY of her birthday, she had a horrible cough, high fever, complained of stomach pains and was breathing very strangely. Short pants [...]

How to get that messy, wavy hair look. Get yo bed-head on!
By Jane on January 5, 2011
I’m Asian and my hair is naturally straight. However, I love that messy, wavy hair look that gives you that cute, bed-head look that you often see the Celebrities donning. Except, getting that messy look takes work! Here’s my version of how to get that look. WHAT YOU NEED What you’re going to need is [...]
