I know there are people who are out there that are like, “Homeschool?!?!? How do your kids get the “social” part of school?” My response is…”Besides letting the kids out of their cage for about an hour a day to stretch out their legs, we occasionally take them to the local grocery store to see how other humans interact.”

Summer may be over but I just got the greatest new dress and I plan on wearing it to the max! This dress gets the CCC (Triple C) rating – chic, comfortable, and CHEAPY! Take from the racks at Ross, the Bohemian style and pattern totally caught my eye. Just my style.
Ross’s is like TJ Maxx where you have to really look through all the racks and if you find something you like in your size, you better get it or someone else will! Imagine my surprise to find out that this small dress is actually an X-large. Yes, X-large!! This hurts the ego but I decided to try it on anyway. Come to find out,BIGGER is sometimes BETTER! It was a super cute DAINTY summer dress.

Your official SNEAK PEAK at our new Art Lounge in Gotham City.
By Jane on April 21, 2011
We haven’t officially opened our doors yet but we have been working long and hard on yet another business venture. Aside from our rental properties, we also have a couple of commercial spaces uptown. In fact, they are right around the corner and in the same building as our Studio Condo. This was strategic planning [...]

We find a rodent in the shed. Opossum or Rat?
By Jane on November 8, 2010
DISCLAIMER: To start, down here, we call OPPOSSUMS just POSSUM and all future reference to this rodent will be referred to as such. I just didn’t want to confuse those who don’t know this from the onset with the title. So I was in the shed getting some trimmers for the hedges when I spotted what I thought [...]

Through the eyes of an innocent child.

We take J Lo and the boys to the pier of one of our favorite parks. It’s sunset and gorgeous. I love the way these pics turned out.

Bed Time! (For Late Nighters).
By Jane on September 21, 2010
Getting to bed always takes a good thirty minutes if not an hour for the girls to get to bed. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. We are late nighters, which is also another reason why we homeschool. Now that school has started, the girls go to bed “early”…around 10pm. And yes, sometimes, it [...]

Jane: Victim of Forever Sharp Knife
By Jane on June 19, 2010
Around 7 years ago or so, I was DUPED into buying one of those FOREVER SHARP knives while shopping at Sam’s Club. I was minding my own business, shopping around, when I hear over the intercom… “Attention all shoppers. We will be giving away a FREE pearing knife in aisle [whatever aisle-like I remember]. Don’t miss [...]

Right song + Wrong timing = Embarrassing Moment.
By Jane on November 25, 2009
June Cleaver and I became good friends when Thelma was in public school for Kindergarten. One of the few good things that came out of that. June and I connected right away being that June is also an exceptional artist, she’s groovy, down-to-earth and unpretentious…she’s not your typical “Mommy” and isn’t phased by some of [...]

Jane: Post Partum Nester and Closet Organizer.
By Jane on June 18, 2011
Since I was just taking things in stride prior to the birth of Benz, I didn’t really get a chance to nest much. Therefore, after he came the clutter in Dick and my closets were annoying the crap out of me. Here’s a glimpse of Dick’s closet. Our house is an older house so we [...]

The Victorian Table gets the HOT treatment and June Cleaver suggests I trim it up!
By Jane on March 8, 2010
The room still needs more umph. BOLD is BEAUTIFUL. THE VICTORIAN TABLE I remember that I have an old ornate, although intricately molded plastic, table that looks like it was from the LOUIS XIV days. It’s in my shed collecting dust because two of it’s legs have fallen off. I kept it all this time [...]

After the co-op, we rushed to bring Thelma to the training academy she attends. Louise and I decided to be out in the sun, rather than sit in the car and wait, so that we can get our Vitamin D and enjoy the beautiful weather. Kids never get sick of bubbles. And look, Louise found [...]

In LA, you spend a third of your life in your car…
By Jane on December 14, 2009
It’s taking me some time to get into my groove here…so hard to find the time to blog. All my time is spent in the car, stuck in traffic, getting from place to place. It takes at least 45 minutes to get anywhere, even just driving 5 miles takes this long. Five miles in Metropolis [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear: Not ready to wear Maternity clothes? Get a belly band!
By Jane on January 23, 2011
I’m about five months along now and am trying to squeeze into the last bit of regular clothes that I can. Depending on the angle, and if I’ve just eaten or not, my bump isn’t that huge yet. So, in order to wear non-maternity clothes, I’m looking through my closet for shirts that fit bigger [...]

Warning Indian Chilli Peppers are HOT! Dick discovers the hard way.
By Jane on July 4, 2010
Dick loves to eat hot chilli peppers and tells me I’m not Vietnamese because I don’t and Vietnamese people eat quite spicy foods. He and my dad enjoy the small Thai peppers that when just taking a small pinch will make your lips burn like hell, a lingering hell. They tell me that you get [...]

Jane and Dick, victims to an exploding Benz.
By Jane on August 3, 2011
We like to let Benz lay around naked and be “free” without the confines of a papery diaper every now and then. FREE AND NAKED I usually only do this after Benz has done his business so that I can reduce my chances of having further “accidents”. His skin is so soft and yummy. See [...]

WARNING! Smoking causes impotence, y’all!
By Jane on November 5, 2009
I lived in Canada for about 9 months in one of the best cities in the world…TORONTO. Because it’s Canada and they have massive taxes for everything, cigarettes are no different. I was shocked when I was there about a year ago and a pack cost $10. When I lived there almost 10 years ago, [...]

Benz recognizes stranger danger, gives the pouty lip.
By Jane on November 7, 2011
One day I went to Lowe’s to get a mulching kit for my lawn mower. I’ve gone there so many times for things for my lawn equipment that the gentleman who works there, Mr. John Deere, knows me and my girls. I always call ahead and make sure that Mr. John is there when I need [...]

I always pictured car salesmen to be fast-talking, wheelin’ and dealin’ men. Never in my WILDEST dreams did I think that I would be among them because I’m not the kind of person that likes to sell anything. I suck at it and it does not come naturally for me like it does for DICK. I don’t like having to convince anyone to buy anything. So when I started doing business for myself, I learned that EVERYTHING is sales. Shit! The one thing I can’t stand to do! One constantly has to sell themselves, whether it be their idea, their product or themselves. Sales is a must-have skill that everyone needs to learn but I must have fallen asleep in class again. (I’m infamous for my amazing ability to fall asleep anywhere and within a few seconds.)

Biking Out to Starbucks with Lucy & Oscar
By Jane on November 28, 2009
We’re doing the biking Starbucks thing. This time though, we have an extra special guest. Oscar! Lucy is of course a special guest too but Oscar is the baby, so he gets more attention. Look how Hollywood Oscar is with his hoodie, purse, and basket.
