A couple of years ago I started “Family Arts and Crafts Time” for our family. I would go to the dollar store and buy something we could paint and then we would paint them at home one night as a fun family project. We have a few completed projects: The Birdhouse Series. The Seashell Series. [...]

Adults and Crocs. Why oh why?!?!?!
By Jane on August 10, 2010
Ok, so I know that CROCS are quite popular and I can understand children wearing them. I especially like the ones made for winter with the fur inside. So comfy looking. HOWEVAH, what is up with GROWN men wearing these things??!?!?! Now, I have some GROWN MEN friends who wear these as well ( I [...]

You may or may not know that I am the one who takes care of the yard work in our family. Yes, I’m the “yard boy” or if you live out in California, I’m the “gardener”. Either way, I mow the grass, weedwack, edge, and leaf blow. It takes me about 2.5 hours to do my 1+ acre yard the way I like it. Yes, I’m anal about the yard. I like it to look neat and pristine, hence I do not let Dick cut the grass…not that he would volunteer to do it anyway.

The family gets paid to spend a day on the lake for a Bayliner Boat shoot.
By Jane on August 11, 2011
Our family was fortunate enough to be selected to do a shoot for Bayliner, the boat company. I guess they liked our family’s International look. Except, poor Benz is too small to be on a boat so I had to make arrangements for him to stay home. Luckily, as I may have mentioned, my parents [...]

Coming Clean…Vacuuming sucks. Literally and figuratively.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
Ok guys. I have to come clean…fo realz. I haven’t vacuumed in like two, MAYBE three, weeks. I have swept but not vacuumed. Typically, I like to vacuum weekly cause the house collects dust like crazy but this hardly happens…it’s more likely to occur when I have guests. I just avoid vacuuming like the plague. [...]

Traditional Japanese Ramen in Little Tokyo.
By Jane on January 2, 2010
One of my absolute favorite meals when I used to live in Japan is the traditional, not instant, Japanese Ramen (Pronounced by the Japanese as La-men because they can’t say “r”s.). I miss this ramen SO SO MUCH that sometimes it makes me all achy inside.

Osho on Love: Stop looking for that PERFECT man or woman. They don’t exist!
By Jane on February 9, 2011
I’m reading another Osho book in tandem with my Everyday Osho. It’s called Being in Love. I’m already in love but I still wanted to read this book since I bought it about two years ago and haven’t gotten around to reading it. Plus, it’s not just about loving a mate but being loving in general. [...]

It is through my own mental anguish and inner turmoil throughout my life that I have always sought to understand my pain and sought to relieve it. I am a firm believer that one can only grow from having experienced hardship or pain. “Many people dream of the hope for success. To me, sucess can [...]

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 [...]

By Jane on April 26, 2011
So, one day, you may see me rollin’ around in a brand new Lexus IS250, the next, you may see me riding around in this thing. A 1991 Honda Accord. Pretty Swexy, no??? My parents bought this car brand new in 1991 have had it ever since. And although it’s not a LOOKER with the [...]

I’m at my Lucy Lu’s house that she shares with her roommate, Martha Stewart, in West Hollywood. Lucy and Martha have been working hard to add some Christmas Spirit into their house and it looks fabulous. They hung the stockings.

Immortal Technique…Dance with the Devil.
By Jane on February 18, 2010
This is one of my favorite underground rappers. I found him by accident many years ago and I just LOVE his stuff. He’s deep, provacative and one of the best rappers I have EVER heard. His beats are amazing perfect for his lyrics and his lyrics are thought-provoking, deep and graphic. Check out this song [...]

Da Vinci sleeping pattern on hold while pregnancy ensues.
By Jane on April 12, 2011
I know my posts have been short and sparse…sorry. Not that I don’t have anything to post about…just no time. No time and sleeping more than usual…so even less time (and energy)! It used to be that I would sleep around 10-11pm, then wake up around 2-3am, work and blog until around 6-7am and then [...]

The girls noticed a pay phone the other day and commented: “Mommy look! You don’t see much of these anymore!” So true. With the advent of the cell phone, who needs a pay phone these days? Good riddens though. The earpiece on those things are nasty! The last time I used one was over ten [...]

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. [...]
