[Sunset at School Carnival] Last week, my 9-year-old was dying to go to her school carnival so we headed there and she had a blast. So did my my 4-year-old.

I was craving some steamed rice rolls stuffed with herbs and ground chicken the other day so I made a huge batch and ate them all in two days! I always eat fawm kauv dipped in a spicy Thai pepper sauce made with garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, salt, sugar, a little water, and of... Continue Reading →
Once all the flagstones were set the breeze went on. And while I was taking photos, two fighter jets flew by. I was only able to photo one of them. This reminds me of a few months back when I was driving home on a small road near the air force base and a couple... Continue Reading →

Originally, it was so that we could transport... Continue Reading →

This morning I awoke to the surprise of snow. It's been snowing on and off throughout the day but it's not sticking. Luckily I was able to capture the prettiness before it all melted. Great News! Our pack yard design was approved. I will try to document as we go with before and after photos. ... Continue Reading →
The daffodils bloomed last week. This week, I believe, three have bloomed. As for the tulips, they are getting close to blooming. I'd say either by the end of this week or the weekend, they'll definitely be exposing their vivid brights. We went to Lowe's to get a plum colored bush but I found some... Continue Reading →
