Lucy gives the girls “shoulder buddies”.
By Jane on June 12, 2011
Lucy happened upon these “Shoulder Buddies” while at the airport and bought them for the girls. They look like these little crazy haired little “pets” that sit on magnets. One is named “Goal” and the other “Crush”. Aren’t they cute? I just noticed, they don’t have any arms. So what you do is put your [...]

Cute vomit? Thelma and Louise don’t agree.
By Jane on July 15, 2011
My little helpers are getting the full Mommy experience. They freak out every time he throws up on them. Both have had their fair share except Thelma seems to have been more prone to it. “Ewwww! He threw up on me!!” I’m like, this is nothing! It’s a little bit of sour milk. It’s nothing [...]

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, [...]

His name is Sattar and he is one of the most famous traditional Persian singers out there. Sattar has a very soft, mellow and soothing voice. Man douste [...]

Thelma wants to revert back to the MOHAWK DAYS.
By Jane on March 16, 2010
Thelma has been begging me to cut her hair again…She’s missing her mo-hawk days. This was two years ago. Girlfriend is SUPER-FIERCE with her HAWK. I wish I could rock a HAWK but this Jane’s head is too big for that. Dick would agree, I’m sure. However, it’s still too cold now and I want [...]

Pomelo: The sweet alternative to Grapefruit.
By Jane on January 30, 2011
What is a Pomelo? It’s the sweeter version of a grapefruit and about three times the size of an orange. I guess Walmart spells it “pummelo”. Same thing. They’re a little pricey (About $2.50-$3.00 each) but are really yummy. I don’t like grapefruit. It’s too bitter for me. But, the pomelo is a great alternative [...]

We’re off to Gotham City. Another tenant hit by hard times moves out.
By Jane on February 7, 2010
Everyone, I mean everyone, has been impacted by the economy. My tenants are no different. We just had another tenant move out and so, it’s time for the cleaning crew to come in. By cleaning crew, I mean…ME. We hit the road late so we don’t get into Gotham City until around midnight. The girls [...]

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 [...]

Dick locks the keys in the Caddie, while it’s still running!
By Jane on January 14, 2011
The other day we were going to the grocery store and so since it was cold, Dick decided to warm up the car for a bit first. It is always a good idea to warm up your car before you take off but especially in the winter. I’ve always hated having to wait to warm [...]

Healthy Lunch: Tuna Fish Sandwiches.
By Jane on August 29, 2010
We love tuna fish at our house. Tuna is a great source for Omega 3s and aside, from the mayo, it’s pretty healthy…even then, you can use LESS mayo. Remember how I like to make the Tuna Sushi for the girls? They also like tuna fish sandwiches, where I substitute regular mayo for the Japanese [...]

Fulfilling my bet with Thelma: Camping in the Minivan
By Jane on September 16, 2009
Thelma made a bet with me that if she was able to fast and abstain from eating for a day, I would then camp out in the car with her overnight, in our yard. This is not something I’m too excited about doing and I thought hoped maybe she would forget about it but alas, [...]

As I have mentioned before, Lucy and I are pretty silly and have our own accent/language. We find humor in the play of words. We’re stuck in LA traffic – surprise surprise – and want to turn left. In LA, it is extremely common if not expected that if you are turning left with the [...]

If you’re a fan of sweet potatos, you’ll love Baked Butternut Squash.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
It’s been a while since I did a recipe post. Sorry, they take a while to write so it’s hard to find the time. But, the other day I made some Crispy Flounder, Baked Butternut Squash and Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice for my family. I was going to put the entire recipes for all [...]

My sleeping beauties… I can’t believe how grown they are. Just the sweetest things in the world. I adore these girls. Such a difference from when Thelma was 18 months and Louise was just born. Louise was literally 3-4 days old. It’s true what they say…kids grow too fast. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years. [...]

Your daily Benz: Sleeping naked baby.
By Jane on July 13, 2011
Who doesn’t love naked baby pictures? These were just taken on the fly. I haven’t had time to set up a proper shoot. Benz sleeps really well. He only wakes up once or twice in the night. I’ll just roll over and nurse him. So edible and yummy!! I could just stare at him all [...]

Finally ready to assemble the Twin Beds.
By Jane on December 30, 2010
After nearly waiting two weeks in high anticipation of having their own NEW beds, we are finally ready to start the assembly process. We start with one bed and take out all the pieces. I’m in charge of reading the instructions and telling everyone what to do. As Dick points out, “You ARE the Eng-gin-eer!” [...]

This is the time of the year when my mom and I go look at flowers and plants. My mom loves to garden. So, we go visit one of the local nurseries here that is just beautiful! Seriously, there are just too many pictures to take. This is their bathroom. So cool! My kind of [...]
