ElEOldest daughter wanted a digital layout similar to her younger sister so I searched old photos and found one with her around the same age. The photo was from 2006. She picked some of the elements and wanted flowers too so I searched old photos for some flowers that would stand out a bit. Last... Continue Reading →
Hmoob Dawb Colors
This was done for Digital Whisper's challenge. The White Hmong (Hmoob Dawb) dress outfit really doesn't have a lot of color but I'm really liking the belts. The photo was taken in July 2005 when the Nkauj Zaj Hmoob dance group was preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival performance stage. [Added 2/23] Just thought I'd... Continue Reading →

Kylie got a pretty dress today at Costco. I took some photos and decided to use some of the designs I purchased from Irene Alexeeva Designs to make a layout showing off her dress. Everything in the layout except for Kylie and the roses are from the purchase. ♥
Mom’s Sweet Flatcakes

Spoken Words From A Toddler: "I'm In The Front" Yesterday morning while on our way to drop Kida off at catechism I... Continue Reading →
Thai Yellow Curry Chicken w/Potatoes
One of husband's favorite dish is yellow curry with chicken and chunks of melt-in-your-mouth potatoes. He was hooked on this dish when we were dating. We used to eat out at a small Thai restaurant in Denver where the only dish he'd order was the yellow curry with chicken and potatoes. I would always order... Continue Reading →
Papaya Salad With Peanuts
Over the weekend I made some papaya salad. I think papaya salad is always best eaten when one craves it. I've made papaya salad before when I wasn't craving it and it went to waste. I never thought I'd ever waste papaya salad since growing up, I didn't eat very much of it and Mom's... Continue Reading →
