Besides using the chalkboard paint in the girls room, I also used it on our pantry door…an ugly white eyesore. Originally when I thought to use the chalkboard paint, it was intended for this door. I wanted to be able to write grocery lists, our favorite wines list, maybe even homeschool while I’m cooking, writing [...]

Our homeschool co-op encourages and allows kids to explore their inner creativity. On this day, the middle schoolers used their hands, literally & physically, to create art. Swan head. Awesome! Snake with open mouth and fangs protruding. Siamese twins is what I believe this student told me this was. Writing with a piece of chalk. [...]

Back in the land of the communicable…for now…
By Jane on October 24, 2009
After having had my iMac (Time to give it a name…Qwerty) held hostage for the last couple of days, and nearly dying because I thought the Geek Squad was going to continue to hold Qwerty hostage until the end of next week, I now have my iMac back and can breath again. Initially they thought [...]

Jane uses the rest of the chalkboard paint on the garage door.
By Jane on April 29, 2010
Because I still have some chalkboard paint left, I decided to paint the garage door of our “multipurpose room” with it. It’s white and boring and ugly. I outline the edges with a thin brush.

Mommy sacrifices warmth so the family’s buns can stay warm while watching a night soccer game.
By Jane on November 3, 2010
Since it was the last game of the season, and since the family has SOCCER FEVER, we decide to take the girls to a night game. I’m exhausted, and a cold weather hater, but I tag along anyway because this is a family affair…and it would not be complete without ME! But, being my absent minded cold weather [...]

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 [...]

I’m running late. Where are my keys?!?!
By Jane on December 8, 2009
I’m running late taking the girls to Co-op and I can’t find the keys. Don’t you hate when you’re already late and can’t find the keys. I running around frantically trying to find them. I feel like I’ve lost my mind. I look absolutely EVERYWHERE.

I just discovered that I am also a poet. I found this poem I wrote in my newly found GREEN INDEX CARD HOLDER. Written probably about some boy I had a crush on. I must have thought the poem was pretty good otherwise I wouldn’t have taped it to this lovely green piece of construction [...]

My girls built another “house” in my parent’s living room the other day. This is not uncommon if not a weekly thing. I love that my parents don’t have a house where they’re afraid to let the girls touch anything. They get to unleash their creativity here alot. Today, it’s a “house” that they plan [...]

When everyone went to Vietnam: Visiting the Chi Khiem Royal Concubine Temple.
By Jane on February 27, 2011
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 [...]

Brussel Sprouts: Love em or Leave em?
By Jane on April 29, 2010
Whenever people talk about kids not wanting to eat their veggies, somehow Brussel Sprouts come to mind. The girls and I were reading about why it’s good it eat veggies that are in season and why they are good for you. It is good for you to eat vegetables that are in season because you [...]

OMG!! Just found some of my childhood stuff: The Green Index Card Box.
By Jane on February 25, 2010
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 [...]

Individual Mommy Time with Thelma.
By Jane on January 22, 2010
Dick and I like to give the girls some one-on-one time and so we’ll split up, each of us taking one of the girls. They like to have that individual attention from us. Of course, I am the photographer and so I have pictures of my time with the girls.

Introducing Color #2: From Hep Green to Reflecting Pool.
By Jane on March 8, 2010
After painting two coats of Sherwin William’s Hep Green Techno Color on the walls, I am very concerned. It’s TOO YELLOW GREEN. It looks nothing like the brochure. Calm down. It’s ok. Maybe you just have to get used to it. Plus, it’s time for the next color.

Did that Truck just run over a bunch of chickens?? No, it’s just FUZZY/FURRY trim. WTF???
By Jane on April 20, 2010
I was at the gas station getting gas when an SUV pulls up. I thought for a minute my lasered eyes were failing me because the car looked kinda BLURRY DIRTY but when I finally confirmed that indeed my vision was PERFECT, I realized that the truck was not dirty but FUZZY WUZZY. WTF are [...]

JANE AND LUCY LOVE FOOD Ok, so I noticed that alot of my posts are regarding food. Yes, this Jane and Lucy love food and we love to eat. Please refrain from any comments, Dick. Dick is somewhere laughing saying, “Yeah they do!”. Whatever! However, I think Lucy loves food even more than I do. [...]

Jane: Anal Corn on the Cob Eater.
By Jane on June 6, 2011
You may remember me mentioning my two loves and must haves to survive in the summer…watermelon and corn on the cob. I LOVE LOVE LOVE corn on the cob and could easily eat like 4-5 (or possibly more) in a day! Now corn is one of those things I do NOT like to share with [...]
Jane’s Maternity Wear: From Trashy to Belly-baring Glamour.
By Jane on April 13, 2011
Lucy suggested that I also try to take some “nicer” shots while I was pregnant and while she was available to assist me with getting pictures. You know Dick wouldn’t be patient enough to help me. Plus, I don’t like his photography skills. Lucy finds this shirt that I had in my closet. Believe it [...]

Tryin on clothes at Kohls, boobie cleavage, and blockage in customer service.
By Jane on June 7, 2010
Lucy Lu, my dear sister is in town to visit. Good thing because I was all depressed about J Lo, Will and Carlton leaving us. Of course, I’ll be sad again when Lucy leaves but whatever, can’t think about that now. So, we go to Kohl’s because I need to return some swimming goggles that I [...]
