Oh! It’s finally here. I’ve been looking forward to this long weekend, and so are Ashlyn & Alex. We will be off to Legoland in Carlsbad, California soon. This will be 2nd visit to the Legoland for Ashlyn & 1st for Alex.

Last time we were there, was last July. We were there for half of the day, so we didn’t get to cover the entire park. This time, we must get there early and go for those we missed last time. We must hit the Volvo Jr. Driving School, I’m sure both Ashlyn & Alex will have a blast!

Happy July 4th!!

Cosmetic Dentisry

Just before I stumbled upon Dr. Maddahi’s website, a cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills, I was just talking with my girlfriend about taking my toddlers for their first dental visit. Both my husband and I believe that dental hygiene is important, especially for toddlers, and kids must be taught when they were young to prevent andn minimize future dental problems. I was always skeptical about braces and teeth whitening procedure until I reviewed Dr. Maddahi’s website, which really opened my eyes. His dental office, or should I say dental spa, uses advanced computer systems, Mini-cameras to educate his patients, and they use painless system to drill the teeth, so you won’t hear those unpleasant squeaky noise. Even Miss Oprah talked about the advanced technology in dentistry that Dr. Maddahi uses.

Tiring Weekend

There were so many activities went on over the past couple of days, I’m still trying to recuperate. First off, getting ready for Baby Ryan’s first US visit, meaning lots of moving things around, and cleaning up to do. Then, preparation for Ashlyn’s birthday parties, note, P-A-R-T-I-E-S, plural, one at the childcare center, one at home with relatives. I have been trying to wrap her presents after she’s asleep, but I fell asleep with her too, so I had to make a quick trip home after I dropped her off at my aunt’s after school. On Saturday, it was my cousin Jessica’s big day - wedding day. Although she opted for the simplified version, no ceremony, just the traditional Chinese tea ceremony and banquet at night, but I was exhausted. Thought I could spend Sunday at home, doing nothing. WRONG!!! My cousin visiting from Canada, attending Jessica’s banquet, they’re cousins by “marriage” kind of, but they’re also classmates from elementary school in Hong Kong. Since she’s in town, we went dim sum with grandparents, then done some shopping for Baby Ryan. By the time we got home, it was dinner time. We had so much left over from the wedding banquet that could feed us for the next 2 weeks.

I will go into details individually and share pictures shortly. All I wanted to do now is to catch up with my beauty sleep.

Iron On - 101

In 2 days, it’s Ashlyn’s 4th Birthday. I have been looking forward to her birthday weeks ago, because she is going to have her first birthday party at the childcare center, celebrating with her new friends.

I have been discussing what to get for the favor bags with Elaine, and finally got all I needed online.

Last week, after a quick lunch in the mall with my lunch buddy, we were attracted by a sign of a kids clothing store. “up to 60% off”, how could we miss it??!! I saw a white tee, with “Birthday Girl” on the front, a little bit of sequins sewed on. The damage? $19.50. In my opinion, and Vivien’s, not worth it. So, over the weekend, the idea of D.I.Y. crossed my mind, since I already bought Ashlyn couple of white tees for $1.99 each. I began to search online for iron on graphics.

Voila! Perfect! Found it! Elaine and Vivien approved it. I’m sure Ashlyn would approve it too, cux it says “Birthday Princess” with lots of blings.

I received the graphic on Tuesday afternoon, as soon as I got home from work, I locked myself in the bathroom, make sure Ashlyn won’t see it, with all the things I needed, I began to work on my little project. As a result, well, see it for yourself.

I’m crafty. What can I say?
