Family time at the park full of tangles, pedometers, and feet.
By Jane on June 11, 2010
We’re at the same park again. It’s the kids’ favorite. This time, we bring the whole family. Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac and Lucy Lu are all with us. Freddie Mac is enjoying to his iPod versus listening to Fanny Mae yammering on about how he talks too loudly when listening to his iPod and can’t [...]

Mayweather/Marquez: From Jane’s Perspective
By Jane on September 20, 2009
We’re watching the much anticipated fight between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez. I don’t know much about boxing but Dick enjoys it so I watch documentaries about boxers and a few fights PPV with Dick. I know he’s going to say “You’re so lucky for having me open your mind to so [...]

Christmas is over but it’s still nice to come home to this kind of view. Lucy and Martha have such a cozy place. I could maybe live here so long as I don’t have to drive too much. -Jane, House-sitter

Dick: How to diffuse an angry woman.
By Jane on April 22, 2010
So, to pick up where we left off…I had written a note for Dick. However, I didn’t give it to him. I knew I wrote it out of PASSION and ANGER and didn’t want things to get worse. So, I crawled in bed after writing my RANT. After Dick and the kids came home, I [...]

Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice with Saffron.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
Persians love a crispy crust (tadik) when they make their rice. Oftentimes, it is the MOST SOUGHT AFTER part of the rice. Now Persians use Basmati rice, which are long grains of fragrant white rice that don’t stick together like Asian Jasmine rice. Now it’s best to go to your local Middle Eastern or Indian [...]

Homeschooling Field Trip: Part 1 – Parrot Mountain
By Jane on September 27, 2009
I’m taking Thelma and Louise on a field trip with their homeschool co-op. Where are we going today? We’re headed to Parrot Mountain and Wonderworks. Because our co-op scheduled a group tour, we were able to get a discount at Parrot Mountain for only $5 per child, one parent is free. Also, [...]

You may or may not know that I am the one who takes care of the yard work in our family. Yes, I’m the “yard boy” or if you live out in California, I’m the “gardener”. Either way, I mow the grass, weedwack, edge, and leaf blow. It takes me about 2.5 hours to do my 1+ acre yard the way I like it. Yes, I’m anal about the yard. I like it to look neat and pristine, hence I do not let Dick cut the grass…not that he would volunteer to do it anyway.

The girls want to do their own pumpkins and Jane is inspired by Despicable Me.
By Jane on November 1, 2010
This year, I bought two smaller pumkpins for the girls to carve themselves, totally forgeting that smaller pumpkins are harder to carve. I cut off the tops and let the girls gut the pumpkins themselves. I had bought the pumpkins like a week or so ago and kept delaying carving them. Last year, we carved [...]

At the rate I’m going, and especially after nursing, I’m sure I’ll be needing a contraption similar to this. Which then reminds me of a song that my dear loving sister, Lucy Lu, adapted just for me. Some of you may know the song, Do your EARS Hang Low, the kiddie song. Except, where the word EARS [...]

Warmed towels after a shower. Who wouldn’t love that?
By Jane on February 25, 2010
A few shots of my girls all wrapped up in their towels after a shower. Auntie Lucy Lu decided to spoil them one day with warmed towels from the dryer. Guess who now has to warm towels in the dryer. Not this Jane! But every once in a while I will. LOL I do have [...]

My post I just wrote on Co-sleeping was actually prompted by this very topic of babies sleeping through the night. I was trolling the web to find articles that discussed when is normal for babies to start sleeping through the night. I wanted to know if Benz was constantly waking up because he’s a breast-fed [...]

Gobble Gobble. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.
By Jane on November 25, 2010
I just wanted to wish everyone an extremely great Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for and I hope to try to remember that daily rather than once a year. My favorite thing about the holidays is, hands down, having the family come together. It’s all about that for me. This year, my sis [...]

Stay-at-Home: Do you feel you don’t “contribute”??? WHATEVER!!!
By Jane on September 15, 2009
I know so many stay-at-home Mom’s who feel like they have to “contribute”. WTF??? We work our asses off 24-7 taking care of our husbands and children with lots of expectations and no appreciation, raises, or adult interaction. And, much respect to those who are working Moms as well because you then have TWO [...]

Tiger Woods teacher holds press conference. Another FAME WHORE seeking their 15 minutes.
By Jane on April 3, 2010
Tiger’s former GRADE SCHOOL teacher gave a press conference the other day and is demanding an apology. Woman, you need to get off your high horse and stop trying to cash in on your 15 MINUTES OF FAME! Now I’m not siding on the SERIAL CHEATER’S side but I think it’s ABSOLUTELY LAUGHABLE and RIDICULOUS [...]

Buying from local small businesses: Lemonade, Jerk Chicken, and Peaches.
By Jane on August 12, 2010
We try to BUY LOCAL more than we BUY ORGANIC. Organic is great too if it’s local and fresh but at the grocery store, if you have to choose between local and organic, go LOCAL. Surprised? Well, most of the organic produce is traveling from across the country (or world) to get to your grocery [...]

Tulips are one of my most favorite flowers. My awesome neighbors, Ozzy & Sharon Osborne, have the most beautiful tulips! I love how they plant them in bunches. Very appealing. The red and orange/yellow is super dramatic and stunning! Here’s some that I took from last year. -Jane, Tulip Lover

Here comes the NEW GEEK SQUAD!
By Jane on April 25, 2010
We’re at BEST BUY and they, too, have gotten in on the CUSTOM BUGGY bandwagon. My kids love these cars and will snag one at every opportunity…even if we just need a couple of things that I can just as easily carry. However, Mommy gets suckered into pushing this heavy thing. I’m just wondering when they [...]

HORSE DUNG launched at police during G20 Protests. Ew!
By Jane on July 12, 2010
Great view but nothing really exciting on the roof, so us Chicas continue on. We walk a little further and see some people standing around in the distance. The owner of this orange sports car has some balls parking so close to the protests. He’s the only car in the lot. More police standing around [...]

We take the kids to see the latest Karate Kid flick with Will Smith’s son, JADEN, and JACKIE CHAN. The girls have already see the originals and LOVED them. The latest rendition was actually decent and Jaden was surprisingly a very good actor! Of course, the storyline was completely predictable and almost exactly like the [...]
