I was going thru my old room at my mom’s house. She’s your typical Vietnamese woman that keeps everything. Although I’m not usually a fan of hoarding, there are some things that bring back so many memories and give me a good laugh. So, I think this might be a series of posts as there [...]

Warning visitors! If you come stay at my house, I may put you to work. I’m not opposed to child labor. LOL Anyway, Taylor loves helping. She really does! Em, on the other hand, is a bonafide ADULT. Plus, I’m right alongside them…cooking with Taylor, mowing the grass. They’re just ASSISTING! Yes, a little bit [...]

Happy Accident #3: We got a turd on the way.
By Jane on November 29, 2010
Yes, that’s my bloated belly. Yes, I over-indulged and thoroughly enjoyed all the yummies we had for Thanksgiving. Yes, I ate too much. However, this is only partially why I’ve got the added weight. We are excited (and initially very surprised) to find out that we have our “turd” happy accident on da way. What can [...]

By Jane on April 15, 2010
I get a surprise package in the mail from my dear sister, open it and what do I find? An Apology Memo Pad. And some of the reasons are actually pretty good! Attached is a note from Sister Dearest.

Going back home but stopping for some good ole Southern Comfort food first
By Jane on January 30, 2012
We’ve finished all our work and it’s time to head back home. Time to load up the van again. Would u believe that Dick was plagued so badly with the stomach virus that he’s having problems walking? Apparently it really did a number on his ass (A condition that we have dubbed in our family [...]

Bush wacking and cleaning up my dump of a backyard.
By Jane on February 25, 2011
Winter and the yard work gets neglected, especially since I got pregnant in the fall, there’s so much that I should have done prior to winter but simply didn’t have the time or energy. Since we’re somewhat cleaned up the front, and my backyard is looking like one big dump…time to get to work again! [...]

SOMEONE forgot to empty their pockets before putting their clothes in the dirty pile.
By Jane on March 14, 2010
I’m doing like a thousand loads of laundry…at least that’s what it feels like. Of course I don’t bother to empty the pockets of the clothes. I expect whoever puts their stuff in the dirty pile to do that. I don’t have time to double check for these things. So, I go to retrieve all [...]

Baby Bellas and Basil Vegetarian Spaghetti Recipe.
By Jane on February 3, 2012
I haven’t been doing too many recipe blogs because they usually take me too long but this one was a special request and is real simple and easy. Since Dick has had his Koontitis issues, he’s gone Vegetarian…and actually VEGAN. So, I’m cooking more vegetarian dishes these days. The kids and I still eat meat, [...]

Your Daily Osho: The Real Robbers…Doubt, suspicion, fear.
By Jane on February 19, 2011
If you haven’t watched the movie Akeelah and the Bee, you absolutely MUST! In it, there is a special quote about FEAR…How our biggest fear is not failure, but SUCCESS! We are the ones who let ourselves be paralyzed by our fears (which are based on nothing but thoughts…not on facts.). Here’s the quote from [...]

You don’t see motorcycle riders like this in my neck of the woods.
By Jane on July 8, 2010
As I’m driving around Toronto, I spot this dude on a motorcyle. He catches my eye because the motorcyle guys around where I live don’t look or dress like this dude. Actually, this look would have totally passed in my neck of the woods if it had not been for the Parasuco bag. Only a METROSEXUAL [...]

Our day on the boat modeling for Bayliner is now up on their website.
By Jane on May 6, 2012
Do you guys remember when our family got to model for a Bayliner Boats shoot? Yes, two months after having birthed my son the car, we were hired as a family (sans Benz) to be in a commercial for Bayliner Boats. Nearly a year later and they’ve finally uploaded the videos to their Website. Here [...]

Your daily Benz: Jailbird wanting to play with his sisters.
By Jane on April 24, 2012
Lucy has a small “backyard”, which I don’t even know if you would call it that. One day, I decided to move everything around so that it was more inviting. I made it so inviting that the girls decided to bring their games and play out there. They’re playing “LIFE”. Lucy and I used to [...]

All Work and No Play??? NO WAY!!!
By Jane on August 31, 2009
We just had some tenants move out of one of our residential rental properties and so, it’s time for the cleaning crew to come in. By cleaning crew, I mean myself, Dick, and the girls. By doing it ourselves, we save big and the girls love a change of scenery. So, we pack our bags for a few days but since there’s nothing in the townhouse, so we also pack blankets, pillows, food and stuff to cook with (this helps cut down on expenses and time since we can just stay put and work). Yes, I’m a slave driver! No,

Taking the Benz for a ride, I mean, stroll.
By Jane on June 23, 2011
No, I’m not talking about our car, I’m talking about our son. We decided to go for a walk, while strolling our new Benz around. I had forgotten how much one must pack when you have a baby, even if it’s just for a simple walk around the neighborhood. That there black bag on the [...]
