Right around Thanksgiving my dear hubby, Dick, decides to take away my precious playroom and change it back into it’s original intended use – a GARAGE. Since it was cold outside, he relocated his car maintenance work into our playroom garage. Yes, I have not played ping pong since Thanksgiving! Now we’re back from LA and [...]

Inspiration of the day: From Hardship comes growth.
By Jane on September 9, 2010
Cold and hunger are the forces that produce warmth and fullness. From poverty we can become rich. Sickness spurs our search for health. Health or wealth by birth is not ours – it is our parent’s gift to us. As such, it will disappear sooner or later. You must be the creator of your own [...]

Asian Instant Ramen. A yummy, easy, quick meal. The kids love it too.
By Jane on December 22, 2009
I love instant noodles (aka ramen). It’s a fantastic and fast meal for when you are busy and don’t have time (or are too lazy) to cook. Being that we’re super busy, ramen for me is like an answer from heavan. Deciding what to cook all the time is so difficult. Sometimes you just want something [...]

By Jane on February 15, 2010
So, let’s rewind to almost 20 years ago, to my very first job…the every-so-glamorous GROCERY BAGGER! (Yeah, you see those guys in the blue shirt there? That’s what Mommy used to do.) JANE’S 1ST JOB: GROCERY BAGGER (This is actually my first name tag that I kept from this job. Dang, I am like my [...]

Just an average day in the life of Jane and Dick.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
Our days are not like most people’s. We don’t have 9-5 jobs. We don’t send our kids to school. So, here’s a glimpse into a day in the life of Jane and Dick. Every day is different, which makes for a less boring, less monotonous life. We started our day at 11:15am this particular morning [...]
DICK: Daddy Day at Ballet, Tutus and all.
By Jane on January 19, 2010
The girls have been taking ballet since they were 5, taking off a year here or there. Louise was excited to start ballet again but since Thelma was crazy about ice skating, she wasn’t feelin’ ballet as much and decided not to take lessons this year. And ever Louise started up again this last fall, [...]

Teenage years are back, and not in a good way.
By Jane on July 29, 2010
Just when I thought the days of acne and zits were long behind me, a substantial one pops up on my face. It seems that around the same time I am possessed by the evil monthly demon, the demon rears its ugly little head, reminding me of what is to come. There’s nothing worse or [...]

Another day, another park. Scavenger hunts, tag, and fun, fun, fun.
By Jane on October 14, 2009
Since we happened to be in downtown Metropolis, Dick and I decide to take Thelma and Louise to one of their favorite parks. It’s an amazing, great park built by community volunteers and the kids love it because it’s like a big maze for them.

Emergency cell phone rescue today paid off.
By Jane on December 1, 2009
I had the most unfortunate task of saving my cell phone today. Because I was wearing my PJs and had no pockets for my phone, I slid it down the back of my pants, so that my panties were holding it in place (Luckily, I don’t wear thongs). I know, great place right? Whatever. So, [...]

We head to the public market…where the funnel cakes and hot dogs is all that catches my attention.
By Jane on August 17, 2011
During coffee with Lucy (and watching her super brilliant Oscar get his momma to give him a treat even if he didn’t have to obey her command…that was genius.) I had remembered that my mom told me they had taken an old run down mall and turned it into a public market but I couldn’t [...]

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 [...]

Introducing color #3: I stray from the brochure and go HOT.
By Jane on March 8, 2010
After painting first two colors (Hep Green and Reflecting Pool), I notice that the colors on my walls are turning out darker than the ones in the brochure. However, I’m still DETERMINED to pull this room together and make it FABULOUS for my girls. The girl’s room is low lit so that’s why the colors [...]

Convenience shopping at Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac’s.
By Jane on October 27, 2010
We were out of eggs and rather than going to the grocery store and have to get dressed, drive, park, walk all the way to the back the store, get my eggs, possibily get distracted and buy a million other things, come back to the front, wait in line, check out, pay, find and walk to [...]
