Reagan - 5 months

She really belongs in So Cal and NOT Texas!

The Surfer Girl...

Dinner @ Elephant Bar

This is what happens when you have spoiled rotten kids...they, well, Adam, refused to eat at home or even take out!  He insisted on going out to a restaurant, and of course since I'd rather spend the $10 bucks on Mac n Cheese vs hearing them whine and cry all night by myself... (Daddy was out of town at a sales meeting...lucky him!)

Maddie w Justin..and teaching Boo Boo!

Miya - 7 weeks

We were finally able to go and visit Brian, Miho and Miya at their new place...

Chinese New Year Parade

Maddie's pre-school had a parade to celebrate the Chinese New Year... all the kids were asked to wear red and each class made their own crafts for the parade.

Eco Friendly Tote Bags! www.nunel.com

I have become a true believer in recycling and trying to be "green."  We can all be skeptical of saving Earth and what it takes however, common sense dictates being frugal and wasting little as possible saves not only the Earth's resources but more importantly: THE BOTTOM LINE (or lining of my wallet/handbag ;P) is GREEN = MONEY! 

The kids LOVE to recycle bottles, cans and plastic bottles and why not?  We earn on average at least $10 a month. And it's soooo "easy peasy" as Adam likes to say.   We are also recycling in hopes of saving towards our own Family Foundation :)

As for being green and eco-friendly, we're trying to be more conscientious and using our own "bags" versus grocery bags or even store bags (although I have to admit, I am a sucker for nice/cute shopping bags like Nordy's, PBK or some of the boutique-y places...shopping bags if you can't have a birkin bag??...hmmmm...).  This past Christmas and for my birthday, a friend got me various unique shopping bags (GO JENN!) and another friend started her own line.  

Nunel.  The totes are completely recyclable because they are made of hemp and when "done" can be burned, unlike other "green" bags which still take a long time even after being "recycled" and the best part of these totes?  Part of the proceeds go towards underprivileged kids in China.  Ironic since most of our consumables are made in China?

Oh, and for bridal parties, showers, gifts...it would make a great GREEN idea!  Especially for beach or those "OOT" (out of town for those not in the wedding biz!) bags, it holds A LOT and easily folded and stored to travel :)

(I'll add pics once I get some decent ones...)

Happy 3rd Birthday Kaeli!
