Besides using the chalkboard paint in the girls room, I also used it on our pantry door…an ugly white eyesore. Originally when I thought to use the chalkboard paint, it was intended for this door. I wanted to be able to write grocery lists, our favorite wines list, maybe even homeschool while I’m cooking, writing [...]

There’s a viral post going around on Facebook with accompanying photo below about a baby mouse who chewed through a box of Viagra at a pharmacy. Not sure if this is for real or not but it’s nonetheless pretty funny! Have a MOST EXCITING weekend my friends. Hopefully just as excited as this mouse. -Jane, [...]

The girls put on Make-up for Mommy.
By Jane on January 19, 2010
Like most girls, mine love to play with make-up. I don’t really like for them to wear make-up because I think it looks silly on kids…and only for rare occasions. They are so beautiful naturally. Instead, I let them put some on me the other day for fun. Tres chic no? -Jane, Made-over by her [...]

My great aunt visits from France.
By Jane on August 13, 2010
My great aunt, MAGDA, from my dad’s side lives in South France and was visiting other family in the US so she decided to swing by Metropolis to come see us. The number of visitors we are having this year is insane! But, it’s the best kind of insanity…family! I’m so glad to see her [...]

Tesla: The 100% Electric Sports Car
By Jane on January 3, 2010
Orlando was driving me around the other day and along the way, this sports car catches my eye. (No, my husband does not get jealous that I have male friends. Being an engineer, many of my friends are dudes.)

Coming Clean…Vacuuming sucks. Literally and figuratively.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
Ok guys. I have to come clean…fo realz. I haven’t vacuumed in like two, MAYBE three, weeks. I have swept but not vacuumed. Typically, I like to vacuum weekly cause the house collects dust like crazy but this hardly happens…it’s more likely to occur when I have guests. I just avoid vacuuming like the plague. [...]

Daddy combing baby Benz’s hair. Really???
By Jane on January 29, 2012
Dick was going to take Benz for a short walk around the block using the Baby Bjorn. Prior to leaving and being the pretty boy that he is, he stopped by the bathroom to make sure he was looking good now that he has an added accessory…our son. I then glance over and see Dick [...]

Some things run in the family… Guess who else has OCD and a feet picking problem? The Queen herself. See people? Socks don’t make a difference…unless they’re made of iron and have padlocks on them before you can take them off. But then, I guess it would be difficult to find shoes to fit over these socks. And, of course, the [...]

A foggy / sunny Monday Morning.
By Jane on January 18, 2010
I woke up this morning to a lovely fog AND sunshine. It’s a great start to a beautiful Monday. I can only say that though because I don’t have to do the 9-5 like other people. I used to HATE Mondays. THE BACKYARD You know how the first thing you do when you wake up [...]

Private Art Classes: A Look at Magda’s Home Studio
By Jane on February 18, 2010
You remember I said my girls take art classes from a beautiful woman and artist, Magda, who lives down the street from me. (Click HERE). We are so privileged to have her in our lives. She teaches the girls so much about art and I’m so thankful that she is willing to teach my girls. [...]

The girls are always playing with their little bro, Benz. So, after Louise’s birthday party, they figured it would be easier to know where he was by tying Louise’s helium birthday balloon to their little brother. Whaaaa??? Benz doesn’t mind. He’s preoccupied with the TV buttons… And drawer knobs. He’s fascinated with them! So long [...]

Thelma and Louise meet and interview their fashion idol, Jeannie Mai.
By Jane on April 29, 2012
Remember how I told you my girls are HUGE fans of Jeannie Mai, host of the fashion makeover show, How do I look? Well, since she couldn’t make it to Louise’s birthday, she instead came over for dinner one night. Lucy had a small dinner party at her house where I made some Persian food. [...]

A few weeks ago, Dick and I attended the wedding of some dear friends of mine, Tiffany and Patrick. You may remember Tiffany from the Bruchetta Recipe Post. She’s the founder of GoBigHead.com. The ceremony was touching, the wedding decor was gorgeous, and the Bride was glowing.

I’m not sure why Thelma persists to torture her little brother by putting him in girls clothes, or now, a long black-haired wig. Such the jokester she is. It’s not that she even means him any malice…she adores him. And it’s not that she wants a little sister. I think she just thinks it’s hilarious [...]

KWIK KWOTE: Uranus. Uranus. Uranus.
By Jane on April 8, 2010
Louise was running through the planets the other day. She was trying to impress me with her knowledge of all the planets. “Mommy, I know all the planets and in order!!” “Oh yeah? What are they?” “Mercury…Venus…Earth…” (Counts on her fingers)

Walking in the Winter Wonderland: Our Southeast Winter Storm.
By Jane on January 31, 2010
Our “winter storm” came. Only, it wasn’t really a storm. We get some snow but nothing like a foot or anything. I was hoping for at least 8 inches but alas, no. No matter, it’s BEAUTIFUL outside and we’re going for a walk. When you have snow and ice covering everything, it’s like a whole [...]
