We love to eat Dim Sum but there are no restaurants that have this in our area. So, I have the next best thing. Frozen dumplings. So, I whipped up these fried vegetarian leek gyoza for our Sunday “brunch”. It’s fast, you just follow the directions on the bag, and voila! Serve with some sauce [...]

Metropolis gets hit by snow again!
By Jane on January 10, 2011
I’ve been waiting for this snow all night since they kept saying the Southeast was going to get hit by a storm again. And finally, it came! It’s 6am now and here are pictures that I just took of my front and back yard. As you can see, it’s still dark outside. FRONT BACK We’re [...]

The Chalk Guy: Julian Beever and his AMAZING pavement drawings.
By Jane on November 12, 2009
I just got a forward from Dick’s cousin. He’s a dentist who has a lot of time to send a bunch of email forwards to us. LOL (J.K. We love you!) I never read any long forwards. I am A.D.D. and like I said, wordy stuff with no pictures will NOT capture my attention. Short, [...]

Getting our imagination on at the Imaginon.
By Jane on January 27, 2012
The girls love coming to Gotham City. It’s a change of environment. We’re in the hustle and bustle of a bigger city and because we’re uptown, we get to enjoy urban, city life. I like that we get a taste of both the “country” (I put that in quotes because it’s not like we’re roughin’ [...]

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 [...]

Dick’s new method of weight lifting.
By Jane on September 30, 2011
Here is my dear husband, using our lovely son to assist him in keeping his arms toned. And although I know that Benz is totally safe in Dick’s hands, this totally makes me nervous. I love that my husband doesn’t take himself seriously and can be stupid silly. Yes, you’re stupid silly. And cute too. [...]

By Jane on April 14, 2012
Louise had been begging to come to California to spend her birthday there for many, many months prior to the actual day. So, when we finally planned on coming here, she was SO super excited. Lucy planned on having a birthday party in LA for her so Lucy and Louise made some invitations for the [...]

When I’m trying not to pick my feet and they start to heal…they also start to itch like a mother! This is what causes one who has my disease, Dermatillomania, to pick their feet. It soothes the crazy itchiness from healing skin. Kinda the same way that scabs start to itch and peeling it… although [...]

A gorgeous, antique Mercedes 280 SL.
By Jane on May 6, 2010
We were on the interstate when we spotted this BEAUTIFUL Antique Mercedes 280 SL convertible. It’s GORGEOUS and looks WELL taken care of. I love the antique blue with the cream interior. This would be a car I wouldn’t mind having. Dick LOVES it. Wants one. Good thing we have the same taste. Mine is, [...]

Update on my feet picking/dermatillomania issue: My feet have healed!
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 [...]

A cluttered house is a cluttered mind.
By Jane on December 8, 2009
So, we decide to get rid of all the shit that is cluttering our office because…a cluttered house is a cluttered mind! My house isn’t as messy as like one of those houses you see on Clean House (Great show!) but cleanliness breeds for better quality of thinking and good feng shui for the room. [...]

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 [...]

Winter and 78F in LA. How nice.
By Jane on January 10, 2010
It’s pretty warm considering the rest of the country is getting snow. Lucy’s car is reporting 78F for the outside temperature. Its weird because in the near distance you can see snowcaps on the mountains right in front of us. -Jane, Lover of Warm Weather

Benz’s first chocolate experience.
By Jane on February 10, 2012
The other day Dick was holding Benz while sitting on the couch, watching politics on TV at my parents house, eating his sunflower seeds like a typical Persian man. Not noticing that Benz had gotten into some stuff on the side table next to the couch, Dick soon discovers Benz’s face completely covered in chocolate. [...]
