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 [...]

Hanging with our besties at the pool.
By Jane on July 30, 2011
We brave the weather and head to the pool with our besties despite it being a stormy, rainy day. June Cleaver and her kids come hang with us for a few hours. And here’s Fanny Mae, hanging with Benz as usual. And actually, without the sun, we don’t have to worry [...]

Being Green. I’m not talking about the environment, I’m talking color!
By Jane on April 8, 2011
It was green day at our homeschool co-op again. Usually it falls on Saint Patrick’s Day but we had to delay it due to maintenance being done at the school. Even still, our co-op is about having fun and GREEN DAY was still on the agenda. Yay! Because my girls love to dress up, [...]

Dick went up on our roof the other day and I was pretty jealous. You may remember I’m up here from time to time blowing the leaves off our roof. Sadly, I’m currently not allowed to go up there. Not that my off-kilter, unbalanced preggar self would dare try this right now. I can hardly [...]

I was first introduced to Bonsai’s from watching Mr. Miagi pruning them on the Karate Kid. When I actually saw them in person, I just LOVED them. I have a love for trees and tree shapes as it is but a miniature version is just GORGEOUS!! It so happened that the annual Bonsai show was going [...]

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. [...]

Thelma after she just woke up…
By Jane on November 8, 2009
These are the moments to treasure. I was just taken aback by how lovely my Thelma looked on this morning after she woke up. So innocent and peaceful. I hope she will always be this way.

By Jane on November 8, 2009
I just found these old pics of when we were in Toronto visiting family and friends. The girls are probably about 3 and 4.5 yrs of age. They are so chubby and cute. Gosh I miss their baby fat.

How to PROPERLY cut a watermelon.
By Jane on May 21, 2010
It’s watermelon season (well not really but the grocery stores already have the ones imported from Mexico where they have forced grown it so that it would produce fruit for us watermelon lovers who can’t wait until summer)! I loves me some WATERMELON! So sweet and refreshing. Of course I get the SEEDLESS kind. 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 [...]

No, this Vietnamese Jane does not want to be an Engineer for the rest of her life.
By Jane on February 15, 2010
LIFE IS LIMITLESS Since leaving corporate America and not falling back on my degree and experience as an Engineer, I have found such creativity and freedom in that I’m still figuring out what I want to do “when I grow up”. Life is short. There are so many things that interest me, that I want [...]

Homeschooling: Not for everyone but DEFINITELY for us!!
By Jane on September 14, 2009
I know there are people who are out there that are like, “Homeschool?!?!? How do your kids get the “social” part of school?” My response is…”Besides letting the kids out of their cage for about an hour a day to stretch out their legs, we occasionally take them to the local grocery store to see how other humans interact.”

We had to stop by AT&T today because Dick’s new phone wasn’t working properly. The girls and I got bored waiting for them to resolve his problem and get him a new phone. Of course, BOREDOM prompts CREATIVITY. Therefore, I take my little point and shoot Canon out and I play.

This Jane does not do milk. I’m LACTOSE INTOLERANT not because my stomach acts up when I drink milk but because I just don’t TOLERATE it in the least. I don’t like it. The thought of me drinking a glass of milk makes me just want to HURL. It took all kinds of strength in [...]
