I know there are people out there who find ironing to be extremely relaxing and meditational. Although I can understand this train of thought, I’m still not a fan. I don’t iron. Plain and simple. My family walks around in wrinkled clothes all the time. It’s just not one of my priorities.

Sorry for the sparse blogs. I’m not quite sure but I think having a third child is taking up all my time. Blogging seems to have taken a back seat to enjoying time with my new son, kids, husband and and taking care of our daily meals, clean-up, homeschooling, businesses, and Starbucks. With everything going [...]
Since it’s so nice outside these days, it’s HAMMER HAMMOCK time! Fall weather is perfect for hanging out on the hammock. It’s not hot or humid and there are no mosquitos buzzing around, ready to suck your blood dry. Seriously, five minutes in the summer and I’ve got 10 mosquito bites. People will say, “Oh, it’s [...]
Our Thanksgiving: Family, Fun, and Food.
So as I mentioned in my Thanksgiving message yesterday, we started out our day by taking a walk around my parent’s neighborhood. It was such a beautiful day! WALKING COOKING After our walk, Lucy and I got to cooking, along with Louise’s help.
What? It’s late. And I’m hungry. Whole wheat turkey w/mayo & tomato. Lays plain chips. Claussen pickles. Mmmm, that was good. I think that took me about 5 minutes to eat. Remember, I’m pregnant! Yes, I plan on using that line to the fullest extent! Of course, Dick will tell you this is not a [...]
We walk to Chinatown for some late eats with my Uncle Diddy: Star Athlete.
After Eminem, MIA and I closed down Andy’s Pool Hall, we walked back to my Aunt’s place to find UNCLE DIDDY was still awake. DIDDY: THE STAR ATHLETE Back in the day, Uncle Diddy was a STAR ATHLETE in his youth and exceptionally good-looking for a Vietnamese boy. Most are short and he’s almost 6-feet…quite [...]
We’re off to the pool to go winter swimming.
It’s winter in LA and the weather fluctuates constantly. Even if it’s in the mid-60s or 70s, if you’re in the shade, it’s still kinda chilly. No, I’m not complaining…just sayin’. Today was a warm day, high 60s, and the kids are dying to go swimming. The pool is heated so I let them but this [...]

Asian Instant Ramen. A yummy, easy, quick meal. The kids love it too.
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 [...]
Mommy I’m Hot, But I Want Money!!
This is our second year having a lemonade sale. Last year the girls had great success and they’ve been begging me to do another one so they could earn some more money to redecorate their room. I’m just glad they want to earn it versus stealing it. Tomorrow is the first day of school for public school here and summer is officially over! 
So, I agreed but I was not thrilled to sit in the hot, muggy sun (89F) and get eaten alive by pesky, blood thirsty mosquitos.
I contributed $9.43 to get their business going (which they gave me $6 initially), prepared the lemonade for them, and agreed to give of my time pro-bono. Thelma and Louise recruited a helper, their cousin, to assist as well.
My new fave place in Gotham City: Amelie’s French Bakery. Bon Apetit!!!
Our last night in Gotham City and we decided to go to one of Dick’s favorite places. It’s a French Bakery and it’s open 24 hours! Dick tells me this used to be a factory that was converted into a commercial shopping strip. Amelie’s French Bakery is one of business here. Inside is an eclectic-style [...]
