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 [...]

Lucy and Martha want some Christmas pictures. CUTE & CHEESY is the theme.
By Jane on December 17, 2009
Friends and Roommates Lucy Lu and Martha Stewart request that I take some pictures of them so they can send out Christmas cards of their “family”. Their family consists of them and their dogs, both of which are the same breed, Brussels Griffon, only they quite differ in size. Lucy tells me that her and Martha [...]

PAINTING FRENZIE: The front porch gets an uplift too.
By Jane on May 11, 2010
It’s spring and since it’s still somewhat nice outside and not too hot, I like to do some work around the house. Not only did the back porch need some lovin’, the front porch does too! See where I went pressure-washer crazy?

F-bomb can land you in jail. F#$%, should I be worried???
By Jane on October 27, 2009
Looks like my tendencies to spurt out an f-bomb could land my ass in jail! There seems to be a man from Kansas City who will be facing 30 days in a county jail for going on an f-bomb rampage in a road-rage altercation with another man. I wonder if he told the judge to “F#$%” [...]

Robot representative vs. Live Person. Both frustrate the living hell out of me.
By Jane on August 10, 2011
It’s been a while since I had a Jane Rant (last one was to rant about the way Dick eats his corn on the cob) I guess it’s my loving, pleasing, wonderful personality beaming through and not my other bitchy personality. Ha! Bitchy Jane usually comes out when school starts (ugh). The kids are just as [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Some people just don’t get the social cues.
By Jane on August 10, 2010
I was at the Asian grocery store the other day and it was PACKED! It’s the day that all the produce comes in FRESH and everyone always comes that day. So, I’m standing in line, which is backed up, and there’s a woman at the register who is yammering away. You know the kind…the ones [...]

Miso soup is one of our family’s favorite soup to eat and we always order it when we eat sushi. It’s super healthy, super good, and super easy to make. This is a fast soup to make. Once the water boils, it’s just a matter of adding the ingredients and serving. No waiting for it [...]

Chinatown for a late dinner with Queen Latifa and the gang.
By Jane on July 8, 2010
After I say hi to my uncle and his family and unload our things at my uncle’s house in Mississauga, I head downtown to see my aunt Queen Latifa and my cousins. First thing we do? The girls and I have only eaten the snacks we packed and some junk food along the way so [...]

Co-sleeping: People do it but just don’t talk about it. Dangerous or natural?
By Jane on February 7, 2012
All of my babies co-sleep/co-slept with me. For some reason this is considered taboo but actually, people are in the closet on this subject and just don’t talk about it. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that some of my friends do co-sleep with their kids. I’m not a sleep expert nor am I a doctor [...]

Thanksgiving Dinner by Jane and Lucy
By Jane on November 27, 2009
I love Thanksgiving dinner and I always eat to the point where I think I will explode. This Thanksgiving was no different, except, this time Lucy Lu and I made dinner. The turkey was marinated by my dad, Freddy Mac, and stuffed by Lucy so there’s no recipe. I was the one who roasted it [...]

Crazy Clothes Day at our Homeschool Co-op
By Jane on February 11, 2010
Our Homeschool Co-op always has fun things that we do. This time, it’s crazy clothes day. One day, Louise comes over to me and tells me that crazy clothes day is coming up and she can’t think of anything to wear. She complains that she never wins any of the fun day competitions. I tell [...]

I haven’t had or made stuffed cabbage soup in a long time so I decided to make it for the family the other day. You know how much this family loves soups.

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. [...]

So while I was hanging with my girl having coffee, her “man friend” calls. “Man friend” was asking her what she was doing. Confuscia says…(matter-of-factly) “We hangin’ out here at the Starbucks lookin’ like a million bucks.” LOL. -Jane, Friend to Confuscia.

Forgiveness Update: The King and I
By Jane on September 11, 2010
It seems I do have a good one…when he wants to be. I already know this. But of course, in the midst of controversy and filled with anger, one easily forgets. I’m still not sure if he realizes what it is that he’s done, you know how men are. Many times, it lasts only so long [...]

Short hair. Long hair. Which do you prefer?
By Jane on November 15, 2010
My girls go back and forth between short and long hair. Usually, it’s summer when they want their hair short. But now, summer is over and the girls are wanting their hair to grow out. Slowly but surely, it’s getting there. Of course, by the time their hair becomes long again, it’ll be summer again. [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]
