Knock Myself Out!!

This week I didn't sign up my kids for any camp activities....then I realized it is a big mistake.

I was totally knocked out by now around 10:30 PM after whole days activities including shopping, dinning at Santana Row w/ friends then came home to cook dinner and while DH took Abby for swimming class at 7:00 PM, I took Niel and Ilona to do Power Yoga. Of course, I don't have to watch Niel and Ilona when doing yoga, I finally have a piece of quite moment all by myself.

I was still trying to level the exhaustion down by doing Power yoga in the evening, but I'm no superwoman, I am going to call it a day!! lol

Kids stop by lululemon at Santana Row where I once shopped for yoga suit. They remember back of the store has a small area full of toys, book and some pretend custome.


We dined at The village and when the receptionist asked how many of us, I feel kinda of embarrassed to tell him that we have 3 adults and 6 kids. I assume most restaurant won't expect this many kids unless it is a kid's party!! haha......

Waiting for mommy friends and kid's arrival for lunch at The Village!!

It will get better as the children get older. I let my children play outdoors A LOT (biking, skateboarding, jumping on the trampoline, basketball). It helps that we live in a cul-de-sac (less traffic).
Thanks, Lin. If I may ask how many brothers and sisters do you have? Ilona is the 3rd one of mine so we always think she is pretty smart.....street smart!! haha....
thanks, eve, I will tell Cathy about your compliments!! :)
Hi, true: I know.....one day, my physical endurance will reach its limit while my kids have to do all the house chores for ME....I guess I am dreaming for the day to come earlier...haha....

I need to think about something for them to do next week before I am all exhausted again.

Rachel - Ilona's skin looks a lot better these days. Is it because of changing her eating habits and getting rid of allergens in her environment? That Max black dress looks very sexy underneath and it's so creative how your wore it with your Y3 sheer pieces. I like Cathy's jeans too. She's got the casual chic look going.

I often feel embarrassed when we have more kids than adults at a restaurant too. But oh well, you're there to spend money right? At least you're giving them your business.

Btw, I've been meaning to ask you where you bought your passport holder. I've been looking for ones for Max & Sophie too. TIA!

Hi, Betsy: Thanks. So far, I can only find that black dress to fit underneath the Y-3 dress....wait..I think Cathy gave me a tank dress and I think it might go w/ it too. :)

OH, yap, Cathy, she probably won like 200 jeans.....before she sold, donate, give....... half of it. I told her that she should invest in revolveclothing since she bought lots of their clothes. :P I love her jean vest w/ big shoulder very much. Timeless!!

Hum...Ilona's skin is a lot better but if you look closely, the redness underneath the eyes are not completely faded away. But I am sure the weather, environment definitely influence a lot...my mom nags me everyday that she said I should be very very very very careful about Ilona's skin......she is a girl, skin is everything....blah blah...... wait, how come I don't think she reminds me that I will have freckles if I expose to the sun to much when I was young!!! haha ..... *<* Yeh~~ easy to "command" than do it yourself!! haha...

OH, I got the passport holder at Border's bookstore. They have plenty of cute selections. Someone even comment "very cute" on the tiny Owl bag I got for Ilona too. :) I gotta say, those figures are just too cute not to adore them!!
Hi, Julia: so what style of hat you think would go w/ the dress? I tend to wear as casual as possible and I look around that's the only hat I got which I think can go w/ the outfit. :)

I am bearing the spirit of Y-3 collection: sporty, fun and athletic look.

Black Swan Part ? - My Gray Swan and the Party!!

Natalie Portman in Movie: Black Swan. (pic. source: Officer trailer from YouTube .com) I have been inspired by Natalie Portman's character in this movie-- Black Swan .

Last Steal Before s/s 2010!!

It has been a while since the last time DH and I went out for a DATE!! Well, I guess a real DATE is just too luxury for us having 3 young children and it always needs a special arrangement for it to happen. Ilona won't go to preschool until this fall so hopefully by then, DH and I will have more romantic date-out alone!!! DH's Porsche is manual and I have no problem of driving it too. Thanks to my driving coach back in Taiwan so I can drive both manual and auto-shift cars!! :) I am not so into cars personally!...... IT to me is one kind of transportation means from destination A to destination B. :) Ilona sits pretty cozily at the back seat! Finally there is my Chanel 08' pink crystals brooch. My ODJ. 1. Top:  Dimension Victorian style white shirt dress RUGBY military inspired coat et vous fur coat 2. Bottom: Dolce Vita denim cut-out leggings 3.
