My kids love sushi. They’ll eat the raw pieces of fish too. But, we don’t do raw at home. Many years ago, one of my friends introduced me to Roasted Seasoned Seaweed. This stuff is DA BOMB! You can eat it plain or with rice…or with my homemade recipe for sushi at home. It’s easy, [...]

Being the super-duper dad that he is, Dick went ice skating with Thelma yesterday. Thelma is LOVING ice skating and wants to go to every public session. Reminds me of my competitive roller skating days. Yes, there is such a thing as competitive roller skating. When I can find the pics, I will post. Any-hoo, [...]

Dick, as usual, is always trying to get out of having to change a diaper but he loves to hog the baby. After hogging the baby one day, he comes running to me saying, “Baby wants Mommy!” and darts off to go back outside where he was working out. I’m thinking Benz is wanting BOOBIE [...]

Bike trailer still holding up.
By Jane on September 30, 2010
We bought this bike trailer for the girls when they were like 2-3 years old. Here Dick is showing off that he can bike with NO HANDS, rubbing it in because I can’t. I am only proficient enough that I can now let go of one hand. But, even at ages 7 and 8, the [...]

I get a loaner while getting a car inspected. Testing out the Lexus IS250!!!
By Jane on April 25, 2011
The other day I had to take a Lexus in to get a 46-point inspection done on it. Not having the time to wait around for it, I asked Lexus to give me a loaner…and boy did they! Lexus gave me a choice of either a RX (the small SUV) or the ES (mid-size sedan) or [...]

As I said, while we were working, the girls were playing. Thelma especially loves to swing really high and then jump off. Louise, not so much. She is much more cautious. -Jane, Mother to Swinging/Jumping Girls.

George Costanza was on to something when he made a bed under his desk.
By Jane on November 11, 2009
I am known to be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime, in a matter of minutes. I have no trouble sleeping on a train, a plane, in a car, on the bus, etc. I’m not narcoleptic as my dear sister would proclaim but I have fallen asleep while talking on the phone before, mid sentence. [...]

The boys ADORE their Uncle DICK. Here they are hanging out with Dick as he is doing some exercises and working out. I catch a glimpse and stick around for the view to take pictures.

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. [...]

New Tea Sets for my collection, brought straight from Vietnam!
By Jane on January 29, 2011
We love tea and my mom knows how much I love tea sets. I have a small collection of different tea sets and so my mom had brought me back my favorite tea set yet! Now I had heard of this tea set from the time that they were in Vietnam because my sister was [...]

Attraction to others based on Survival.
By Jane on April 9, 2010
One night while we were over at my parents house, we were watching TV. We don’t have any channels at our house because: (1) We don’t have time to watch TV. (2) I would use it as a babysitter too much. (3) My kids would harass me constantly to buy every toy advertised. (4) I [...]

Caffeine while pregnant…just can’t take the coffee out of this Jane.
By Jane on March 3, 2011
Yes, that’s me and the hubs at Starbucks. Bawk! Pregnant and drinking caffeine. Pregnant women just love it when you tell them they shouldn’t be drinking caffeine. What can I say, I live dangerously. It is a myth that pregnant women are to avoid caffeine completely and actually pregnant women can consume about 200mg of [...]

Vietnam??? Looks more like Hawaii. The fam visits a popular Western Resort, Phu Quoc.
By Jane on February 28, 2011
My mom had heard of a popular island, Phu Quoc, that had been renovated into a beautiful resort where mostly, the clientel are Westerners and Europeans. She had heard it was so popular that it was nearly impossible to find a hotel room because it was their peak season and they were booked! Well, they were [...]

Saving my daffodils from the rain.
By Jane on March 2, 2011
Because we were nearly flooded from all the rain, the rain was killing my daffodils that had already popped out their head. Why let them get all mashed up outside? Such a waste when I can enjoy them inside. Look how filthy they are from all the dirt/mud splatters. No problem, nothing a rinse can’t cure. [...]

Lucy and the girls plant some herbs.
By Jane on February 9, 2011
Lucy had bought me a little French Culinary Herb Kit. It’s so cute! The herbs included are Thyme, Rosemary and Sage. So, since she was in town, she and the girls put it together. It was very easy to do. Just water the soil pellets that are included. They expand to look like this. Then [...]

Jane and Dick get their Halloween on as Cop and Robber.
By Jane on November 4, 2011
Prior to the the kids having their Halloween fun, the adults had gotten their Halloween fun on too! You know I like to dress up so this year, Jane and Dick played Cops and Robbers. I told Dick to grow out his beard to make him look a little scruffier than usual so he let [...]

Mayweather/Marquez: From Jane’s Perspective
By Jane on September 20, 2009
We’re watching the much anticipated fight between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez. I don’t know much about boxing but Dick enjoys it so I watch documentaries about boxers and a few fights PPV with Dick. I know he’s going to say “You’re so lucky for having me open your mind to so [...]

Not exactly roughing it for a third world country.
By Jane on March 1, 2011
The last time I was in Vietnam was over ten years ago and alot has changed since then. What used to be rustic and poor-looking has turned into a metropolitan nouveau city with plenty of tourism. From the pictures of the hotels that my family stayed in, they weren’t exactly “roughing it” in any rustic-type [...]

Not a fan of laptops but starting to change my mind.
By Jane on August 29, 2010
At Starbucks again. The weather these days is just perfect. I bring the hubby’s tiny laptop so that I can kill two birds with one stone (Not that I would ever intentionally try to kill a bird. Yes, I did peg that one bird but that was an accident.) I’m not a fan of laptops. [...]

Need a project to do with the kids? How about collaborate on a painting together?
By Jane on January 9, 2011
Louise and I were at home together while Dick took Thelma to her training academy. So, Louise wanted to do something TOGETHER and thought it would be neat to work on a painting together. Normally, since the kids always want help with stuff, I would be like, “It’s more special if you do it by [...]
