By Jane on February 11, 2011
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about my horrible habit of picking my feet and I’ve had many inquiries from other feet pickers on my progress. So, I am happy to announce that my feet have fully recovered!! I’ve managed to stop masochistically picking at my feet to the point that they bleed and [...]

Request for the Hubby to do the dishes…
By Jane on September 12, 2010
After I made dinner last night and after we ate it, it was quite the disaster area, like usual. We were watching a movie so I didn’t realize how much of a disaster until I came back into the kitchen later. Ugh. Not wanting to have to do them, I mentioned it to Dick, in [...]

We’re done with our hike thru Runyon Canyon and it’s lunchtime. After hiking 3.5 miles with no breakfast, we’re starving and craving sushi. We basically have the entire restaurant to ourselves.

The family gets plagued with a stomach virus!!
By Jane on January 23, 2012
Ok so it’s been a while and last time I blogged, we were cleaning our rugs. Let me tell you that we “finished” because around 2am, not because I was tired but…I was feeling queezy in the stomach. Because I could not capture any pictures, this post will be illustrated with a few visuals for [...]

Halloween shopping at Spirit Halloween.
By Jane on October 21, 2010
Lucy was in town over the weekend so we took the girls shopping for costumes since they have been wanting Halloween costumes for the last 2 months. Louise has been checking them out online and has already changed her mind 3 times…each time telling me she’s ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOT going to change her mind. Good thing [...]

I had introduced my girls to one of my childhood favorites. Apples with peanut butter spread on top. I remember thinking, apples…with peanut butter…really. But, it’s SOOOOO good. If you’ve never tried it, OMG, you’re missing out! My kids LOVE it! We all do. Get your protein as well as keep the doctor away! By [...]

Louise gets sick on her Birthday. We make it up by going to Cracker Barrel.
By Jane on March 18, 2010
SUCKS TO BE SICK ON YOUR BIRTHDAY Louise has been counting down to her birthday since the beginning of the year. It’s crazy how much kids anticipate these things. Sadley, on the VERY DAY of her birthday, she had a horrible cough, high fever, complained of stomach pains and was breathing very strangely. Short pants [...]
Benz is going room to room, exploring the house.
By Jane on February 18, 2012
My Benz is now a very proficient crawler these days and wants to go everywhere. Besides being fearless about being able to get down from the bed by leaping off the edge, the days of rested sleep are over and we have to watch and follow this little guy wherever he goes. Oh sure, give [...]

Thelma was so excited that it was cool enough to wear her new shirt on this day and pairs it nicely with some jeans. Fuzzy boots complimented with a super urban and chic messenger bag and you’re ready to [...]

Your Daily Osho: Retrospective Wisdom. It’s worthless! No one will listen to an insane person.
By Jane on February 1, 2011
Ohhh, this is SO hard to do…being aware when you’re at your angriest! At least it was for me. I remember the days when I would get so angry at Dick about “things” and would just lash out at him. I’d bring up everything from the past even though it wasn’t relevant, and it would [...]

A great natural substitute for your eye make-up remover.
By Jane on September 12, 2011
Whenever I get out of the shower or pool, and because I don’t use waterproof mascara, I look like a scary mess. My kids tell me all the time, “Mommy, you look scary today.” Thank you dahling! That’s me, Scary-Mary Jane. Mascara doesn’t come off very well, even when you use soap. You have to [...]

Jane and Lucy Represent…East Coast, West Coast.
By Jane on December 29, 2009
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 [...]

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 [...]
