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.

By Jane on November 2, 2010
As you may remember, Dick I were School Girl and Preppy School Boy last week. This week, I wanted to venture to the DARK side and get my yearly inner GOTH out. You know how much I am Goth at heart. So I brought out the chains and spiked studded jewelry. I really dig the chains and [...]

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, [...]

Louise cashes in on her two teeth.
By Jane on August 23, 2010
Now that another 2 teeth have given way, it was time for Louise to cash in. However, she first wanted to wait for Eminem, Taylor and Auntie Lucy (who was coming the following weekend) to get here so she could show them off. Louise put each tooth in a box and after having made sure [...]

Giving our guests the bike tour: Movies, Starbucks, Greenway.
By Jane on March 23, 2011
The weather was perfect for biking so we decided to give our guests the bike tour, as we do with many of our guests. Like when Lucy went with Oscar, or when I went biking in my 4-inch heels, or when we went with the cousins around the suburbs or to get some burgers. Luckily, with [...]

By Jane on December 28, 2009
Lucy Lu and I love to play board games. Boggle is one of the favorites. I must tell you I kick ass in this game. Yes, I’m competitive and I will kick your ass in this game too.

Some things run in the family… Guess who else has OCD and a feet picking problem? The Queen herself. See people? Socks don’t make a difference…unless they’re made of iron and have padlocks on them before you can take them off. But then, I guess it would be difficult to find shoes to fit over these socks. And, of course, the [...]

Your daily Benz: Planking baby.
By Jane on July 22, 2011
Planking is this new crazy trend where people will lay stiff like a board (plank) and take pictures of it in random places. It’s all the rage and the new “cool” thing to do on Facebook. Plank and post to FB. Planking baby Benz!! For my friend who loves to plank. “Mommy why do you [...]

FASHION MADE EASY: A Black dress…or is it a shirt? One dress, three looks.
By Jane on February 24, 2010
I use dresses as shirts and big shirts as dresses often. This time, it’s actually a dress…a black one I bought in the Grungy Fashion District of Queen Street in Toronto. It’s funny because I bought it almost three years ago thinking I LOVED it but I didn’t wear it until two years later…when I [...]

Stomachs are hurting BIG TIME but Louise and I refuse to do #2 in public.
By Jane on June 22, 2010
After Louise’s shoot is done, we are heading home…it’s two hours remember? We had just been on the road for about half an hour when my stomach started hurting and starts to gurgle. You know the kind where you’re like “Hmmmm…not good.” It’s the kind of gurgle that one gets when THE RUNS (A.k.a. Diarhea) is [...]

My THREE kids. More of the girls and their bro.
By Jane on July 8, 2011
Although we didn’t plan it this way, having a baby years after the older sister has worked out superb for us. I have the best helpers and big sisters a Mommy could ever ask for. Thelma and Louise just adore their little bro. I’m still not used to saying I have THREE kids, not to [...]

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.

At the rate I’m going, and especially after nursing, I’m sure I’ll be needing a contraption similar to this. Which then reminds me of a song that my dear loving sister, Lucy Lu, adapted just for me. Some of you may know the song, Do your EARS Hang Low, the kiddie song. Except, where the word EARS [...]

An attempt to meet my favorite blogger, Perez Hilton. No, I’m not a celebrity stalker!
By Jane on December 12, 2009
As I have mentioned, I have yet to meet a celebrity in person or even see any roaming around LA. So, I’m on the lookout for some celebrities while I’m in LA. I found out that my favorite pimp daddy blogger, Perez Hilton, was doing a book signing to promote his new book, True Bloggywood [...]

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 [...]

By Jane on January 7, 2011
My sister Lucy came across this shirt and thought it to be PERFECT for me since it describes us oh so well. Planned Parenthood. That’s us! This is not a maternity shirt. She just bought it in a large. Looks and fits like Maternity though! James Perse makes the most comfortable, supersoft Tees. Although he [...]
