Ok, so I don’t necessarily look like a mechanic’s assistant in this pic. This was taken after all the hard mechanic work when we went to the pool to cool off. More on that later. We just got another car to sell, a Lexus ES300. It’s been well-kept and is beautiful but needs new [...]

Major rain storm takes down THREE of our trees.
By Jane on April 25, 2010
With all the tornados going on in Mississippi, we’re getting the aftereffects here in Metropolis. Dick, the girls and I were spending the night at my parents house when we just had a HUGE rain storm. When I came home this morning to get started on the million of things I need to do, this [...]

Remember our little alien sea monkey? Well, it’s grown a little since then. Our latest ultrasound…and 4-D this time. Last time I went in, the technician couldn’t get a good shot but this time, we were more lucky. Although I’m not really sure what the difference between 3-D and 4-D is…even still, it’s WAY better [...]

Thelma, being almost 10 and anti-pink/anti-girly, no longer plays with her Build-a-Bear. Well, that is, until recently, she discovered that the same clothes may fit her unsuspecting little brother. Little Benz sitting innocently and happily. Now look at him. He’s horrified. “Why sissy, why?!?!?” Not a happy camper. He no likey-likey. Then the other day, [...]

GOODWILL FINDS: A BMX girl’s bike for Thelma!
By Jane on April 28, 2010
About a week ago, Thelma told me she wanted her next bike to be a BMX. Girlfriend is way FIERCE. She LOVES to bike. After she said, it, I just kinda threw it in the back of my mind thinking it would be a WHILE before she got a BMX! Then, the other day while [...]

Another night of sleeping in the car…
By Jane on December 9, 2009
You remember my playroom is now indeed a garage and Dick is using it to do some routine maintenance our cars. If not click HERE. I just don’t see why he can’t work outside. So what it’s cold and snowing. Builds good character and makes you a STRONG MAN! No? Fine. Anyways, my girls just [...]

EDAMAME: A super EASY, YUMMY and HEALTHY SNACK.
By Jane on September 3, 2010
Edamame is one of the oldest recorded snacks around, dating back to over 2000 years ago. Popular in Japan and picked before they are ripe, it is a fantastically EASY, YUMMY and HEALTHY snack. You can even find bags of whole pod edamame in the frozen vegetable section at WAL-MART so no excuses if you [...]

By Jane on February 1, 2010
It’s the day after our “snow storm” and it’s SUNNY and warming up! With all the icicles melting off the trees, they all look like they are adorned with crystals and jewels with the light reflecting off the ice. Simply beautiful!

Salade Olivieh: Persian Chicken/Egg/Potato Salad. YUM!
By Jane on September 26, 2009
I know it’s weird to be learning how to cook Persian food from a Vietnamese woman. But, I’ve seen the Persian recipes out there, and there are NO PICTURES! So, for those young Persians who don’t know how to cook or for those who just want to try some Persian yumminess, here is a picture-filled [...]

My new Facebook friend (friend that I met on FB) is doing this awesome documentary about finding his Vietnamese soul. Born and raised in Paris, Nacho Bui is looking to learn about his roots and is traveling all over the world to document his journey. Below is the trailer for his series. It’s done quite [...]

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 [...]

Do your kids love going to the dentist? Mine do.
By Jane on October 28, 2010
Unlike some kids, my girls LOVE going to the dentist. This is not something they got from me. I hated going to the dentist as a kid. Every time I went, I feared that the Dentist would discover yet another cavity. Eating healthy was not a concern growing up in the 80s. Wasn’t JUNK FOOD one of [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

What kind of motorcycle is this?
By Jane on September 16, 2010
I passed this motorcycle on the road the other day and it definitely caught my eye. I’m not sure what kind this 3-wheeler is but it’s dang futuristic. Most bikes don’t have that back rest. Having that makes being a passenger seem not so bad. Looks like some kind of transformer. Do you convert into [...]

Trung Thu- Vietnamese Fall Moon Festival
By Jane on September 20, 2010
Every year, there is a Vietnamese tradition for the family where the kids get together and light up candle lanterns close to the full moon in celebration of the harvest. It’s called the Mid-Fall Moon Festival, which I thought was odd because officially, Fall isn’t even here yet. But, whatevs…Our community had one over the [...]
