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 [...]

By Jane on January 9, 2010
Lucy, Martha and I decide to go to Korean Town close to downtown LA to a Tofu House for lunch. I love Korean food and I’ve had Korean BBQ before but have never been to a tofu house. There are quite a few of these tofu houses in LA, especially in Korean Town but Lucy [...]
Daddy combing baby Benz’s hair. Really???
By Jane on January 29, 2012
Dick was going to take Benz for a short walk around the block using the Baby Bjorn. Prior to leaving and being the pretty boy that he is, he stopped by the bathroom to make sure he was looking good now that he has an added accessory…our son. I then glance over and see Dick [...]

Dick’s new method of weight lifting.
By Jane on September 30, 2011
Here is my dear husband, using our lovely son to assist him in keeping his arms toned. And although I know that Benz is totally safe in Dick’s hands, this totally makes me nervous. I love that my husband doesn’t take himself seriously and can be stupid silly. Yes, you’re stupid silly. And cute too. [...]

Dick braves riding the Greyhound. We need high speed rails in the US people!
By Jane on October 15, 2009
Dick has to go to Gotham City to pick up another car. He decides at the last minute to do this and so airfare is ridiculous. With no other options, he decides to brave the Greyhound. I am fearful because just last year, I read this horrible story about an innocent bus-riding young man who gets [...]
A super chill Artsy New Year’s with my three kids.
By Jane on January 2, 2012
As with most New Year’s, I don’t do much but just chill at home. For some reason, I just don’t like being out when I know so many people are out there drinking and driving. I don’t think I’ve ever done it BIG for New Year’s. Maybe one year Dick and I went to downtown [...]

My girls inherited their Dad’s dominant “curly-hair” gene. Well, Thelma more than Louise. Thelma’s hair has this lovely curl at the ends of her hair that makes her hair look effortlessly stylish. Super cute. I love it! The curls are even more prominent in the summer. Asians, because most of us have naturally straight hair [...]

Need breakfast TO GO and don’t want McDs? A healthy alternative: Omelet pita sandwich.
By Jane on April 23, 2010
Most people I know are CRAZY busy these days. Hence fast food places like McDonald’s are making a killing! However, they’re KILLING you in the process. So unhealthy!!! Here’s my HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE to that and it’s EASY. What I love about an EGG SANDWICH is that it’s MOBILE. Granted, eating in the car is MESSY [...]

Last day with cousins. Boo-hoo.
By Jane on June 7, 2010
It’s the last day with J Lo, Will and Carlton and we have had such a great time with them here. It’s always hard when people visit me and then they leave. You get used to having them around and it’s always supersad to see them go.

After the modeling shoot, we stop to smell the fall air.
By Jane on November 7, 2010
After the modeling shoot, the girls discover that there is a scenic area with pond with walking path. “Mommy, can we go check out the pond?” My first inclination is to say NO because it’s cold and I thought about ALL the things I still needed to get done since we spent a lot of [...]

Grocery shopping with a baby carrier.
By Jane on July 6, 2011
I had forgotten how going grocery shopping with a baby carrier leaves no room for actual groceries. You in there Benz??? I could use a baby carrier, as I’ve seen some women do, but the baby is asleep and I don’t want to wake him. I know I’m always talking about eating healthy but it [...]

3-D Ultrasound! Meet our little alien sea monkey.
By Jane on December 9, 2010
The last time I went through the pregnancy process, 3-D Ultrasounds were a novelty and not many doctor’s offices had them. It took me a while to get around to finding a doctor but I finally got an appointment and the girls wanted to tag along. I made them bring their school work in case [...]

Dear Santa. I hope you “egxist”.
By Jane on December 26, 2010
Louise is very inquisitive and very smart. She’s very logical and thinks in detail and again, this year I was posed with the question “Is Santa real?”. I was already faced with this question last year (Click HERE for that post.) Oh the dilemma! Again, I responded this year with “Well, I’m not sure honey. [...]

Yet Another Roadtrip: Picking up Daddy & Visiting with Friends
By Jane on November 18, 2009
It’s time to retreive Daddy since he’s been gone for over 2 weeks in LaLa Land (A.k.a. LA, Los Angeles). We found a great reasonable flight that is direct but it’s a 3 hour drive to this airport. Dick’s flight is supposed to arrive at 3:30pm and so I’m rushing to hit the road after Mother-Daughter [...]
