As I may have mentioned, Thelma is taking ice skating lessons and cannot get enough of it. She wants to go at every opportunity and likes to get there early so she can maximize ice time. We went for a private lesson today to prepare for a competition that is coming up. She had her [...]

Men making beds: Now that I know you know how to do it correctly…
By Jane on February 16, 2010
Of course, I’m always the one making the bed. I like a made bed and hate it when I get ready to go to sleep at night as see a messy bed. Plus, when I sleep, the sheets hardly move but when Dick sleeps, they’re ALL OVER the place! (Which makes my job oh so [...]

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 [...]

The girls want to do their own pumpkins and Jane is inspired by Despicable Me.
By Jane on November 1, 2010
This year, I bought two smaller pumkpins for the girls to carve themselves, totally forgeting that smaller pumpkins are harder to carve. I cut off the tops and let the girls gut the pumpkins themselves. I had bought the pumpkins like a week or so ago and kept delaying carving them. Last year, we carved [...]

Jane: TuTu-wearing Ballet Dancer
By Jane on November 17, 2009
Louise is taking ballet. I think she likes it because she’s taking it without Thelma so it gives her a sense of identity and individualism. This week at the studio we go to is “Mother-Daughter” dance week. Louise has been looking forward to this since she knew they were having it. So, I put on [...]

Images taken from my yard… Spring is a time of renewal. Hence the reason why Persian New Year starts the first day of spring. The blossoms are already popping their heads out. Spring is on the way!!! There is so much beauty in nature. You just have to take the time to REALLY look. Nature [...]

Modern PAJAMA Family Photo Shoot.
By Jane on January 26, 2011
I’m finally at my friend’s house after running out of gas and being rescued, and ready to do the photo shoot for her family. When I do family shoots, I like to create a “mini-event” that fits the personality of the family where I’m just there to document all the fun, snapping away. I’m not [...]

A match for my New Year’s frame.
By Jane on January 15, 2012
We had so much fun painting on New Year’s that I decided to make a match for the first frame. The girls wanted to paint something else as well. So as they painted, I made a mate for my frame. I likes! Now where to put them! -Jane, Ah-Tiste.

Mommy, it’s summer, we want MOHAWKS.
By Jane on June 24, 2010
Thelma and Louise came up to me the other day requesting that I give them SUMMER HAWKS. “Mommy, we want mohawks.” “What, now? Like, right now?” I love that my kids are FIERCE but I guess I get nervous because I am unsure of my ability to give them a proper cut that wouldn’t result [...]

It’s a small world. Random meetings result in a weird connection.
By Jane on February 2, 2010
Do you remember when I said that I met this lady at the park and she had locked herself out of her car? (Click HERE for the story.) Well, her and her girls sat in my car while they waited for a ride. So, we chatted while she was in the car. I find out [...]

Introducing Color #2: From Hep Green to Reflecting Pool.
By Jane on March 8, 2010
After painting two coats of Sherwin William’s Hep Green Techno Color on the walls, I am very concerned. It’s TOO YELLOW GREEN. It looks nothing like the brochure. Calm down. It’s ok. Maybe you just have to get used to it. Plus, it’s time for the next color.

My my Tacky-Eye: Them boots are not made for walkin’!
By Jane on March 14, 2010
I was at Starbucks having “Coffee Talk” with June Cleaver when I spotted this lady wearing these boots. I’m not really sure what to think of these things. As a artist, I can appreciate the artistry that went into these. HOWEVER… I am not a fan of the ROLLING of the jeans. They’re too short! Having [...]

Celebrity Sighting: Brigitte Nielson at The Abbey.
By Jane on January 10, 2010
Dick, Mamma F, J Lo and friends go out on Christmas to The Abbey, known as one of the best gay clubs and is down the street from where Lucy lives. I went the Abbey last time I was in LA and decided not to go out this time because I’m lazy, it’s cold and [...]

My parents invest in a plot of land and we get to reap the benefits of the amenities.
By Jane on July 16, 2011
Without even knowing how to play golf or even having an interest in it, my parents recently bought a piece of land at a golf community that is about 30 minutes away from us. No, they’re not planning on retiring or building a house here…its strictly an investment. But, even though we don’t have a [...]

By Jane on February 23, 2010
Louise has been craving my turkey burgers since we haven’t had them in a while. It’s been too cold to grill so I’m just going to sear them on my stovetop. INGREDIENTS FOR THE BURGER: Ground turkey, buns, onion.

My girls kids (still not used to having a son) and I were at Justice the other day just browsing around. Here’s Benz flanked by Angry Birds. No, I do not play this game. I don’t because I would be one to become addicted to this game and everything else in life wouldn’t matter. I know [...]

Dinner at Katsuya Sushi on low key and fabulous New Year’s Eve.
By Jane on January 1, 2010
I have never really partied on New Year’s Eve. I always spend it at home, chillin. I think it’s because it’s cold and I really don’t want to venture out. Plus, with all the drunks out there, I would rather be with my family. As you can imagine, there’s tons to do in LA for [...]

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 [...]

Husbands need help with everything. Dick likes doing “everything” together because I’m super fun and make life exciting for him. We’re headed to Kinkos since Dick has to FedEx a couple of things and we’re stopping along the way before we go to the auction to test drive cars. Of course, Dick needs my help [...]
