Our garage is a multipurpose room for us. When we first bought the house, there was no room for a “playroom”. So, Dick sealed up the garage, cleaned it and painted the concrete. We layed down a couple of rugs, put our spare king bed out there, all the kids toys, and later the ping [...]

Visiting with the elderly neighbors on a walk to the Grandparents’ house.
By Jane on July 12, 2011
The other day we were going to go for an after-dinner walk to my parent’s house. Since their house is less than a mile away it’s a great short, casual walk. First we play a little soccer in the yard. Benz is strapped in and ready to go into a Baby Bjorn given to me [...]

Cher comes over for a Persian breakfast at my house, in her jammies.
By Jane on December 13, 2011
My friend, Cher, is always inviting me to come over to her house and I’ve turned her down so many times because she lives “so far away” (about 30 minutes) and because I am a lazy friend who doesn’t want to leave her bubble. However, to make up for it, I instead have her come to [...]

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 [...]

My celebrity twin in the news: Tila Tequila STONED at a Juggalos concert.
By Jane on August 18, 2010
I’ve never been one to be mistaken for a celebrity until one day, this girl at a grocery store says to me: “Hey, you look like…like…that girl on TV…what’s her name?…” I’m clueless and just waiting for her to spit it out because no one has ever mistaken me for a celeb. “Oh! You look [...]

Japanese Lunch Boxes: Presentation is key. Food Art for your tummy.
By Jane on October 23, 2010
My mom sends me tons of forwards….some get read, some don’t. This one was a cute one, full of pictures of Japanese lunch boxes. The Japanese are all about PRESENTATION and it shows! But, who has the kind of time to put something like this together! They’re like pieces of art. Food Art!

Halloween is right around the corner and the girls have been hassling me to get them some costumes. So, we go take a look at one of those temporary Halloween shops.We go try on a few costumes but I tell them to choose carefully because they change their mind as the wind blows. Scary Masks??? [...]

Paint da fence. Up, down, up, down.
By Jane on April 30, 2010
Turbo-pressure washing my porch the other day made it look great, however, it knocked off a little more paint than I wanted off the railing. I haven’t painted it in a few years and it’s been worn by the weather. I like the DISTRESSED look but I also don’t want my railing to rot. So, [...]

World Cup Mania – so much more exiting than Football.
By Jane on July 11, 2010
As I said, soccer is HUGE all over the world, except in the US. Here is some footage of when Brazil was celebrating in the streets of Little Italy, Toronto for Round 16. The streets are full of revelers who are insanely huge fans of their team and take it to the streets to show [...]

Jane uses the rest of the chalkboard paint on the garage door.
By Jane on April 29, 2010
Because I still have some chalkboard paint left, I decided to paint the garage door of our “multipurpose room” with it. It’s white and boring and ugly. I outline the edges with a thin brush.

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 [...]

Getting Out Tea Stains with Oxy Clean
By Jane on February 15, 2010
We’re Persian, so we drink a lot of Persian Black Tea. We like to drink it hot and iced. My container for the iced tea is stained pretty badly. But, it’s impossible to clean and is only getting worse. How do I scrub this out with a sponge? I’ve tried and it doesn’t work! OXY CLEAN [...]

Starbucks to change their logo and it’s UGLY. WTF?!?!?!
By Jane on January 6, 2011
So I was just browsing CNN.com and noticed that Starbucks was changing their logo. Check out the story HERE. So UGLY! I am not a fan. They need to keep the old logo. Seriously, did they use the same marketing company as the GAP? GAP got a huge backlash when they announced they were going [...]

My country bumpkin and city slicker.
By Jane on June 10, 2011
My girls are quite similar but yet also quite different. Says Thelma (Country Bumpkin): “I wanna live in a cozy country-like house and have a red truck.” Says Louise (City Slicker): “I wanna live in a big city and a big fancy house.” I just wanted to write it down and have it for the [...]

New Toilet Seat Cover with Kids Lid!!
By Jane on March 29, 2011
It was time to get a new toilet seat cover for one of our toilets. The old one was still in great shape, except, there was a chip on the seat that made it look like poo was stuck to it. Every time I looked at it, it was my first thought too. But seriously, [...]

Biking to Five Guys for some burgers.
By Jane on October 13, 2010
Another beautiful day and we are going to SEIZE it! Actually, we’re hungry and decided to bike out back to our fave burger joint, FIVE GUYS burgers. We get sidetracked for a second when the girls decide they want to go inside the pet store to see if there are any puppies. Sorry, no puppies [...]

And the stitches come out…not as traumatizing this time.

Five days after Thelma’s skating incident and we’re headed back in the ER to have her stitches removed. Look how happy she is. I hope it stays this way….

The kids want some new furniture…
By Jane on December 14, 2009
This nouveau furniture store is right around the corner from Lucy’s house. The kids love it but somehow, I just don’t think the style suites my house. I do love the white couch and chair that is behind Thelma.

My painted face: Jane’s simple, unchanging and much-needed make-up style.
By Jane on September 14, 2011
I used to be the kind of person that would just be MORTIFIED if anyone saw me without make-up but over the years, I’ve become more comfortable with myself and I realized that people really just don’t give a shit. They may think in their head, “Da-ang, girlfriend look like ass without her make-up on.” [...]
