Who takes your photos?
My husband and 6.5 yo son take my photos.
Have you seen this video? Hubs has fully embraced his instagram/blogger husband role. It started with rolling of his eyes and questions like: again? photos again?
now he doesn't ask those questions anymore.
My son still does though.



Do you pay them?
I don't. It's part of my hubs' husband responsibilities. {lol!}
I told my son I will pay him 50c for each photo session. He has not asked or collected yet. Good thing they are all published here. I can look back and count how many times he has taken my photos.
He's gotten a long way..His early days as my photographere here.... and all the way here....




How about Isabel? She can take your photos, right?
She can take iPhone photos alright. It's still hit or miss though. Sometimes my head is cut off.
She does not have a steady hand, yet. So the big camera is out of the question.
But yes, if I am still posting OOTD photos for years to come, I have 3 more in training besides my eldest. {har!}



How do you do it all? 
short answer: I don't.

long answer: I don't do it all.
This blog features mostly outfits and happy smiles from my kids. however, that's only one side of the coin. My house is not always clean. My children misbehave. I  don't wear make-up all the time. I love jeans and tee-shirts kind of day.



What? you blog?
I don't broadcast my blog at work. In fact, I don't really like talking about the blog at work. That's my professional side. This one is my creative outlet... my therapy... I also post faith and family opinions here that I don't talk about at work.



Are you guys done? {referring to having more babies}
I don't think so. I am happy with my four babies.
However, in my heart
We sure would like to space them more than 2 years though!




You have four kids? really? you look so young.
well, thank you!
I thank my Asian genes.

black and leopard print {7qt}

My way of Friday introductions via 7QT and outfit post.

1. I wore this outfit at our family photos -- soon to be mailed Christmas cards.

2. I like fashion and shopping. My husband helps me document my hobby... He's my photographer.

3. I have had long hair since..... high school. Actually, take that back, on and off throughout my life, except for that short hair stint during sophomore and junior year. I have had this same hair style for YEARS. I am afraid to cut my hair shorter than shoulder length.

4.  We love living in the city. We love the community. I love my short commute to work.

5. I am addicted to designer purses. Meet Louis above. I call him Louis. I treat him like a member of the family. He is not placed on the floor (horror!). He sits next to me or placed on the table. He's not cheap so I keep him nice and clean.  

6. I am loving more blacks and neutrals in my wardrobe. I still like pink but it must be change of times (or aging or something)..... I know I would not be wearing bright neon pink tops when I am 80.... well, I guess I still can. But I truly love this black sheath dress from piperlime. 

7. Leopard print = neutral.

I read it on the web.... so it must be true. (ha!)

Happy Friday, friends!

11 random things about me:

{as contributed by my husband}






1. I like big families even though I only have one sibling.



2. I love wine and canvas.


3. I get bored easily with things. But does not get bored with Derrick (then he asked: is that true, hunny?)


4. I went from shopping in stores to shopping online because I am tired of the crowds.




5. My twitter profile says: My housewifing skills are average so I work outside of home to compensate.


6. My idea of camping (or roughing it) is renting a cottage with AC. We can call it glamming... Or is it glamping?


7. I am good at keeping my family on schedule. I am a walking daily planner/organizer (says my husband!)


8. I am a colts fan... but as a neurologist, I won't let my children or my patients play football. Flag football is fine. But skip tackle... I just wish the NFL won't allow such hard hits anymore :(


9.I have crazy amounts of photos and greeting cards decorating my office.


10. I love lilies, peonies and tulips.


11. My weakness: designer purses! my favorites: Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Dooney and Burke and KSNY.



And to answer Lura's questions:


1. your guilty pleasure TV show?


a lot.

Grey's Anatomy, House, Bones,

I borrow DVDs from the library and can watch an entire season in a week (!) yikes.


2. favorite blog to read? what about it inspires you?

I love Jennifer's blog. She is sooooo smart! She knows computer programming, writes like a theologian and apologist, and has 6 kids!

I love Erika's blog. She is a new mom and new doctor with amazing personal style.
And I have a lot more. See my right hand side feed!



3. what is your morning routine?

Feed the baby before getting up

Pray, listen to daily Readings

go downstairs, turn on Keurig, wash my face, brush my teeth and place lunch/snacks in my workbag

place moisturizer on my face as I head back up stairs

Lotion again, change clothes

head downstairs, brew coffee, powder my face

head out the door.


insert comfort crying baby or feed hungry toddler/preschooler somewhere in there if the children are awake. Usually they are still sleeping when my husband takes them to my in-laws.


My goal once the baby is weaned is to change feeding the baby to getting up and working out!

Right now, I am working out at night...

So as much as I love my sleep, I will do my best to get up in the morning to do 20-30 minutes of exercise.




on my days off:

I get up and get the children ready first upstairs

Then I get ready

then we all head downstairs for breakfast


4. what are two things from your bucket list?
Go to all 50 states

Go to Australia

6. what outfit/clothing do you feel your best in?

Dress



7. cats or dogs? why?
Dogs because they're cute.

8. would you rather be indoors or outdoors?
indoors

I do not like bugs and dirt.


9. boxers or briefs? just kidding. to you, what's the most attractive trait in the opposite sex?

Uhm.. let's just say if he stinks, forget it.

So I guess, I like smelly good men.

And I like dark haired men -- dark hair and blue eyes (superman!)



10. what's your purpose in blogging? what do you want to add to the world-wide-web?

I blog as a day journal.

I write my experiences and memories from med school or residency.

Capture my closet ensemble. See what truly works or not...
I add a little controversial post every now and then


11. when you spend time with friends, what is your favorite thing to do?

Talk.. talk... talk...

Red: skirt from A&F, boots from zulily

White: old tee from Banana republic

Blue: guess what. I am actually wearing shorts under these skimpy shorts. So I guess you could say, I am wearing a skort?
