“Heat Wave” prompts chillin’ at Starbucks. And yes, size does matter.

21 February 2010 By Jane 4 In Starbucks

It’s warm for the first time in forever, it seems. So, what do we do? Well we head to Starbucks of course!

Jane and Lucy Represent…East Coast, West Coast.

29 December 2009 By Jane 2 In Starbucks

It’s morning and Lucy and I decide to go have coffee. We walk to Starbucks and I notice that the Starbucks completely in the shade and because outside is the entire reason I like to go have coffee, we decide to go across the street to the Coffee Bean where it is nice and sunny and try [...]

Maybe I should get one of these…

Saw this the other day. I always wonder why people get personalized tags. Must be an ego thing. Anyway, I can relate to this one. -Jane, Lover of Starbucks

Procrastinator turned Multitasker. Carpe Diem!

10 November 2009 By Jane 3 In Starbucks, Thru My Lens

The other day I was swamped with work to do because I had procrastinated for far too long on things that must be done. Procrastination was now biting me in the ass because I was missing out on one of the most beautiful days of Fall being that it was warm, sunny and mid-60s. While [...]

Your Daily Starbucks…

10 October 2009 By Jane 0 In Starbucks

I’m not sure how many different pics I can get at Starbucks but I took this yesterday as the rain was rolling in. It just started sprinkling so I had to move tables to take cover. Yes, like a die-hard golfer, I will endure rain. My favorite are thunderstorms with the sun still peeping thru. [...]

Simple, quick snack for the Lazy Parent: Bread, oil & vinegar.

By Jane on February 15, 2011

If you’re looking for an easy quick snack for the kids? How about some bread, oil and vinegar? Just toast up your favorite whole grain bread (baguette’s are great too!). On a separate plate, put Extra Virgin Olive Oil, your favorite Balsamic Vinegar, some salt and pepper and you’re good to go! I love this [...]

New beds for the girls. With the frames still in boxes, the girls have fun with the bedding.

By Jane on December 28, 2010

As you may know, the girls share a room and they also share a lounging type futon bed. We love that bed as it is quite comfortable. I also am a firm believer that making kids share a room makes them closer and teaches them to share early on. Lucy and I shared a room [...]

Laundry, laundry…and more laundry!

By Jane on October 4, 2009

Um, seriously? I can’t seem to ever catch up on laundry. One would think that I would be super-anal about laundry but the exact opposite is actually true. I don’t sort whites and colors. I mix in the linens with the clothes. I try to cram as much into the machine as I possible can. [...]

Your daily Benz: Stuck.

By Jane on February 3, 2012

Benz has been crawling for the last month or so and wants to go places. The other day, he wanted to go mess with the blinds, one of his favorite past times, and got stuck between the bed and the wall. I had put a pillow in between there so he wouldn’t hurt himself but [...]

Chinatown for a late dinner with Queen Latifa and the gang.

By Jane on July 8, 2010

After I say hi to my uncle and his family and unload our things at my uncle’s house in Mississauga, I head downtown to see my aunt Queen Latifa and my cousins. First thing we do? The girls and I have only eaten the snacks we packed and some junk food along the way so [...]

If you have allergies or are prone to stuffy noses, try the Neti Pot.

By Jane on February 4, 2011

As you know, I’ve been plagued with Rhinitis (aka Stuffy Nose) but it has since gotten better in the second semester (thank the Lord!). Winter time and one is also more prone to stuffy or runny noses, sinuses, congestion, etc. One thing that helps immensely is the NETI POT. You may have seen it promoted [...]

An attempt to see Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner at the New Moon Premier

By Jane on November 18, 2009

I am one of those Mommy’s that has read Twilight. I’m in the middle of the third book, Eclipse, and have been for the last 5 months. Too busy to finish it. However, I am a total 34-year fan of the series of books that all the teenagers all over the world are going ga-ga [...]

Abstract Orchids with Punches of Color.

By Jane on March 10, 2011

Are you sick of orchids yet? If not, here are more. I took some of the ones I already edited and added punches of color to make them more abstract. I’ve added some of the original RAW/unedited pictures to show you what they looked like before I put my Ahhh-tist touch to them. AN AHHH-TIST’S [...]

Paint da fence. Up, down, up, down.

By Jane on April 30, 2010

Turbo-pressure washing my porch the other day made it look great, however, it knocked off a little more paint than I wanted off the railing. I haven’t painted it in a few years and it’s been worn by the weather. I like the DISTRESSED look but I also don’t want my railing to rot. So, [...]

The girls give Daddy a hot stone massage.

By Jane on October 9, 2010

If I haven’t mentioned it already, we have the sweetest and most considerate girls ever! Right before Dick was getting ready to go to Gotham City for business, the girls decided to give him a massage in anticipation of all the HARD WORK he has to do while he’s gone. Thelma takes one of my [...]

Winter and 78F in LA. How nice.

By Jane on January 10, 2010

It’s pretty warm considering the rest of the country is getting snow. Lucy’s car is reporting 78F for the outside temperature. Its weird because in the near distance you can see snowcaps on the mountains right in front of us. -Jane, Lover of Warm Weather

Swimming with jellyfish and squid.

By Jane on February 28, 2011

While at the Phu Quoc resort, the family decides to go for a swim in the lovely clear waters. Look how cute Queenie looks. Love the old-school bathing suit! The emerald waters are so clear and beautiful! I’m quite jealous. Love this picture of MIA’s parents. Look what my dad spots swimming amongst them…jelly fish! [...]

Riding the ChooChoo…at the mall.

By Jane on March 10, 2011

Like I said, I haven’t been to the mall in like two years…and I realized why. Besides it being outside “the bubble” that I live in, it’s crazy crowded (at least it was that day) and stressful. While we were there looking at the Orchid Exhibit, the girls see a Choo Choo Train that goes [...]

Lucy and I look for the perfect short and fat Christmas tree.

By Jane on December 3, 2011

We usually do Christmas at my mom’s house so the Christmas tree goes over there. Every year, it’s Lucy and I who go shopping for the tree. Don’t let the picture fool you into thinking Lucy is taller than me…Lucy is sporting 3″ heeled boots. In actuality, she’s one inch SHORTER than me, even though [...]

Your Daily Benz: Mommy and Daddy Vomit Victims.

By Jane on August 24, 2011

Benz is such a sweet, innocent thing that you just can’t be upset with him at all, ever. Seriously, look at this yummy, chubby thing. I totally LOVE baby’s hands and feet. So yummilicious like mini sausages. Benz is like a little monkey the way his feet clasp together. It’s like his feet are saying [...]
