Time With Puo Puo and Chinese Breakfast

When I went to LA almost three weeks ago for a work meeting, I also got to spend some quality time with my parents, brother, and just Bubba.  You never know how easy traveling with just one is until you have two.  I imagine that's the same with each additional child!  I had a grand ol' time traveling just with one.  It was all just too easy.  

Before the flight on Friday, I got a chance to finally eat at Yi-Mei, this new Chinese breakfast place less than a mile away from my parents' house that is closed on Wednesdays and was closed last time I was in LA and tried to eat there!  It is amazing.  I can't wait to go back and it has officially been added to my list of regular spots to eat at.  

The screen above is magnificently in Chinese and English so you can not only read the menu but also see great photos of it all!

Mmmm. pineapple cake.  I wanted to take some of these home with me but I was already taking two boxes of mooncakes (something I never really craved until I couldn't have it anymore)

I love those yellow things.  I forget the name in Engrish but it tasting yummy.  

Chicken marinated Chinese style.  Hao!  

Our breakfast - soy milk, peanut milk, salty rice roll, beef flatbread sandwich, chicken, and ground stewed beef with rice and boiled egg.  Delicious!!!

Just me and Bubba in the SINGLE stroller.  Love.  

Just me and my second born, that's all.  No big deal.  

Coveted Downtown LA Baby Sample Sale

I miss LA for several reasons and despite never taking full advantage of the downtown LA baby sample sales, now that they're not longer an option, I miss 'em!  You never know what you have until it's gone ...

Where: Los Angeles and 9th, California Mart on the 6th Floor, parking is $10 (cash only) but you can always bring coins and hope for some street parking around there.
When: Last Friday of every month (may be earlier in December)
Why: Because people in LA like to dress their babies in Diesel and other too expensive brands, but in all honesty you can find some nice designer diaper bags which have been labeled "sample" on the inside, may be missing some pieces (like a diaper mat or water bottles) but are all the same otherwise and over 50% off!

I am, however, extremely grateful for LA friends who always offer to get me some cheap stuff at the sales and then mail 'em to me.  You're the best!!!
