This is the time of the year when my mom and I go look at flowers and plants. My mom loves to garden. So, we go visit one of the local nurseries here that is just beautiful!

As you know from the couple of posts of Dick and I attending dance class with the girls that they are taking dance this year. (Click HERE and HERE for the stories if you missed them.) Louise is taking a ballet/tap combo class and Thelma is taking a hip hop class. Most parents of children [...]

Before you get your panties all in a wad…no, I did not put gasoline on my babies butt. Read on to see what I’m talking about. The girls are ectsatic that their best friends from Gotham City, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, were in town visiting us again. Little bit, Ashlee, is at that [...]

Racing up escalators turns to injury…for Jane.
By Jane on August 4, 2010
After spending a few days in Metropolis, it was time for my cousin to head to her next destination, Los Angeles, to see my sister Lucy Lu. Spending the last couple weeks with MIA has been so super fun and it never seems like enough time when I’m with family. Every time my family leaves [...]

Christmas is over but it’s still nice to come home to this kind of view. Lucy and Martha have such a cozy place. I could maybe live here so long as I don’t have to drive too much. -Jane, House-sitter

Skeletoes, finger toe shoes…the new Crocs?
By Jane on July 23, 2011
The girls and I were shoe shopping for some sneakers for Thelma and flipflops for Louise and came across the new, trendy Skeletoes made by Fila. If you have not seen these things, they are like finger socks for your feet except they are shoes! I first came across these when I saw them on [...]

Chinese Mom backpedals after controversial Wall Street Journal article.
By Jane on January 19, 2011
It seems Amy Chua, that militant Chinese lady who wrote the article for the Wall Street Journal “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”, got quite the backlash at her uber-extreme strict rules for raising children and why she thinks Chinese (and moreso Asian) kids are “more successful” than Western kids. Click HERE for my comments on her [...]

Depreciation is a bitch. I will never buy a brand new car again.
By Jane on February 10, 2010
Because we have somehow found ourselves to be running a car business, our ride changes constantly. It’s awesome because I get to drive all different kinds of cars and figure them out. Keeps my brain working since I have to remember how to release the trunk, how to turn on the windshield wipers, and how [...]

Mind Blowing Science: The kids learn about acids and bases.
By Jane on February 16, 2011
For Christmas, my cousin from Australia (MIA), you know the one who visited me and we went mechanical bull riding, sends the girls an awesome Science kit called Mind Blowing Science. The girls have been itching to do the projects ever since Christmas and yes, I’m just getting to it now. Because I’m thinking this could [...]

I sent my blog link to all my family and my lovely Mom, Fanny Mae, didn’t seem amused by it. Why? She asked me, with some hesitation, “Is it ok for you to use words like ‘fucking’… in public… like in a blog?’”. I just had to laugh, respectfully of course. My mom is [...]

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. [...]

Jane: TuTu-wearing Ballet Dancer
By Jane on November 17, 2009
Louise is taking ballet. I think she likes it because she’s taking it without Thelma so it gives her a sense of identity and individualism. This week at the studio we go to is “Mother-Daughter” dance week. Louise has been looking forward to this since she knew they were having it. So, I put on [...]

Your Daily Benz: Scrunchy stomach sleeper.
By Jane on June 21, 2011
I just love seeing little babies scrunch themselves up in a little bundle when they sleep. Yes, I am aware of SIDS but I only let him nap every now and then on his tummy. I don’t let him sleep on his tummy at night. It’s so cute and he sleeps so soundly when he’s [...]

Thelma: Definitely a Daddy’s girl.
By Jane on July 5, 2010
Thelma is the ultimate Daddy’s girl. She worships her sweet daddy. I love and am super thankful that they have such a wonderful father. He definitely fills in all the voids where I’m lacking. Always patient and playful with the kids. They adore him. (Don’t be letting this get to your head honey.) -Jane, Wife [...]

No TV = Creativity = Louise: Taxi Driver
By Jane on August 31, 2010
I’m not sure if you remember but we don’t have any TV channels, not even the basics. We have TVs and we’ll rent movies or watch whatever we have, but I cut the TV a while ago. The girls were watching it all day. Dick would get sucked in as well and I almost never [...]

You know how when you’re really young, you like to dress up asTWINS (or as Lucy and I say it, TWEENZ) with your best friend? While shopping at Wal-mart, I spotted this cute OP (Ocean Pacific) outfit so Lucy and I decided to be TWEENZ. Unlike my younger days as a teen growing up, I [...]

Jane and Dick: Goth School Girl and Boy.
By Jane on November 2, 2010
As you may remember, Dick I were School Girl and Preppy School Boy last week. This week, I wanted to venture to the DARK side and get my yearly inner GOTH out. You know how much I am Goth at heart. So I brought out the chains and spiked studded jewelry. I really dig the chains and [...]

Louise Helps Grandma with the Dishes
By Jane on November 8, 2009
So we’re at the Grandparents house. I love coming here because there is always great Vietnamese food, compliments of my fantastic cooking Dad! Yes, my dad kicks ass at Vietnamese cooking. It’s the reason why I don’t cook alot of Vietnamese food at home. Since I live less than a mile away, it’s just too convenient for me to come [...]

My Horrendous Habit: Picking at my Feet
By Jane on September 28, 2009
Ok, here goes…I’ve been debating whether or not I should talk about this truly disgusting and embarrassing personal habit of mine…FEET PICKING. I know, gross ey??? This is dfficult to admit and publicize but I didn’t want my blog to be only about beautiful and happy things. I’m hoping this blog will help shed [...]

Tired, fed up, I ditch all the work and head to Starbucks and the pool.
By Jane on June 16, 2010
So by now you know that in the last 48 hours I’ve endured a sick child, running around to take care of our car business…kids swimming practice…packing, loading, driving…painting, cleaning, scrubbing…and no sleep. The next morning, Dick takes his pretty little ass’s time waking up. He doesn’t get up until like 11:00. Mind you, I’ve [...]
