Being a great parent is when you let kids be kids and let them bring out the kid in you. Even if it means you must don girly cupcakes & hearts underwear on your head. He is quite the Dad isn’t he? I don’t know too many men who would let their kids put underwear [...]

Jane and Dick go shopping at our local Asian Grocery Store
By Jane on March 1, 2010
Our city of Metropolis does not have large Chinatowns or Asian grocery markets like the bigger cities but it’s enough for us. Dick and I recently went to get some fish. If you want a good variety of fresh fish and at great prices, I would find out where your local Asian grocery store is. [...]

I was meaning to plan a party for my 35th but have been just too busy with everything to even get it together. Doesn’t mean its not happening…just delayed a bit. However, I still had the MOST FABULOUS low key day…which was much needed. The day was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous…75F and sunny! My girlfriends came over, [...]

Dick does tequila shots with an old friend the night before running the marathon!
By Jane on April 1, 2012
We were invited to go visit an old friend of Dick’s the night prior to the marathon. I’m concerned because I know Dick needs his rest so that he can run 26+ miles but Dick assures me we will get home at a good hour. Uh huh. Your race, your call. Gino is a iron [...]

Sometimes you just get to feeling overworked and underpaid. You’re tired, you have too much to do, and you just want to go ON STRIKE. Only, you’re a mom and a wife and there is no supported workers union for such positions. You feel like your mate isn’t helping enough and, when you’re running around [...]

Thanksgiving dinner. Gobble gobble!
By Jane on November 27, 2011
Every year, my dad is the one that makes our turkey for Thanksgiving. He is, afterall, THE CHEF in our house. This year, Louise was craving the potato dish that Lucy made last year, Cornflake potato casserole…kind of like Au Gratin. Except, this year, she used a different recipe. AND, because she left the cheese [...]

Getting Out Tea Stains with Oxy Clean
By Jane on February 15, 2010
We’re Persian, so we drink a lot of Persian Black Tea. We like to drink it hot and iced. My container for the iced tea is stained pretty badly. But, it’s impossible to clean and is only getting worse. How do I scrub this out with a sponge? I’ve tried and it doesn’t work! OXY CLEAN [...]

Huge hail storm in the middle of June like I’ve never seen one before.
By Jane on June 15, 2010
We interrupt the current broadcast to give you the most recent update on a large hail storm that just hit Metropolis. I know, I’m stepping out of chronological order but I had to post the pictures from this crazy hail storm that just hit us. Every day we get a sporadic thunderstorm but today’s was [...]

People camping out at the mall for iPad 2.
By Jane on March 14, 2011
While at the mall the other, I notice some people sitting outside the Apple Store. They were camping out for the iPad 2. The only time I ever camped out for anything was for New Kids on the Block tickets…but really, it was just to hang out with my friends and was something to do. [...]

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 [...]

Girls, if you want new Converses and Heely’s, you’re gonna have to save yo money!
By Jane on October 19, 2011
Money doesn’t fall from trees (although it would be really nice if it did) and I get super annoyed when my girls run up to me and ask me to buy this and that and many times, without even looking at the price! My first response to their request is always, “Did you look at [...]

Using our fire pit to make Chelo Kabob the old school way…
By Jane on March 21, 2011
This time of the year is perfect for a fire pit at night so we’ve been enjoying a warm fire in the crisp evenings. Last night, we were craving Chelo Koobideh (ground beef) Kabob, one of the staples of Persian food. The MEN decided they would use the fire pit to grill our kabobs the [...]

Short hair. Long hair. Which do you prefer?
By Jane on November 15, 2010
My girls go back and forth between short and long hair. Usually, it’s summer when they want their hair short. But now, summer is over and the girls are wanting their hair to grow out. Slowly but surely, it’s getting there. Of course, by the time their hair becomes long again, it’ll be summer again. [...]

I got a good forward the other day…and by “good forward” I mean it wasn’t too long or wordy, had lots of pictures and made me smile. Anything longer than and page with lots of words and no pictures will SURELY not be read if you forward it to me. This particular forward was full [...]

By Jane on December 10, 2009
My girls take Private Art Classes weekly from an extremely talented artist. Magda is a dear friend and we are so lucky to have her in our lives. She has taught the girls so much about art, all the technical stuff that I have forgotten. The girls are coming to see Magda for another lesson [...]
