My kids love sushi. They’ll eat the raw pieces of fish too. But, we don’t do raw at home. Many years ago, one of my friends introduced me to Roasted Seasoned Seaweed. This stuff is DA BOMB! You can eat it plain or with rice…or with my homemade recipe for sushi at home. It’s easy, [...]

KWICK KWOTE: Let’s Plant Some Flowers and Drink Some Wine
By Jane on April 4, 2010
Besides using the chalkboard paint in the girls room, I also used it on our pantry door…an ugly white eyesore. Originally when I thought to use the chalkboard paint, it was intended for this door. I wanted to be able to write grocery lists, our favorite wines list, maybe even homeschool while I’m cooking, writing [...]

My good friend of ten years, Orlando Bloom, is in LA visiting his family for the holidays. I met Orlando when we both worked at Ford together. We were in the same New Employee Orientation group as my other friends seen at the Pimps and Ho’s party.

Weird, fuzzy, pink, moth-looking bug at the gas station.
By Jane on October 2, 2010
We were getting gas and I was STARTLED as I passed by this ferociously weird looking bug. I showed the bug to Dick and he wanted to see if it was still alive or just a dried up dead bug. So he got something that would put some distance between him and the bug, in [...]

My favorite toothbrush. Economical and Ecological.
By Jane on September 9, 2010
It is reported that 50 million pounds of toothbrushes are dumped into landfills yearly. That’s alot of freakin’ toothbrushes. I’ve always wanted to recycle and have been just too lazy to. No more excuses and this family finally on the recycle bandwagon. In addition to recycling, I figure why not use ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY toothbrushes? Made by [...]

Just because I’m in my last trimester doesn’t mean the work stops. Besides loving to cut my grass, I wanna make sure I’m in shape to deliver this baby. Sometimes it’s a bumpy ride…hopefully this won’t put me into labor. Although I may use it as an alternative to be naturally induced. Ha! Yep, still [...]

Thelma gets burned from Hot Cocoa.
By Jane on June 22, 2010
While I was with Louise at the photo shoot. I get a frantic call from Thelma. She’s crying like crazy and I can hardly understand her. I’m dying inside because I’m two hours away and there’s nothing I can do. My mom had taken Thelma to work with her while I was with Louise. She [...]

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 [...]

Another day, another park. Scavenger hunts, tag, and fun, fun, fun.
By Jane on October 14, 2009
Since we happened to be in downtown Metropolis, Dick and I decide to take Thelma and Louise to one of their favorite parks. It’s an amazing, great park built by community volunteers and the kids love it because it’s like a big maze for them.

Middle man down! Injury on the job by a machete-potato peeler.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
There are certain hazards that come with the job. It’s just goes with the territory. Today, I sliced off a chunk of my skin peeling potatoes. It’s just the risk one takes when one is feeding one’s family. You don’t even think about it. You just do it. Yet another hazard in the throws of [...]

My girls built another “house” in my parent’s living room the other day. This is not uncommon if not a weekly thing. I love that my parents don’t have a house where they’re afraid to let the girls touch anything. They get to unleash their creativity here alot. Today, it’s a “house” that they plan [...]

By Jane on December 27, 2009
We spent Christmas Day this year chillin’ at Santa Monica Beach. Somehow it doesn’t really feel like Christmas when you’re at the beach on a sunny day and its about 60F.

Thelma cleans the bathroom. No, this is not another Cinderella Story.
By Jane on January 18, 2010
My lovely Thelma thought she would help her Mommy out and clean the bathroom. No, I did not force her…She totally did this out of her own will and the goodness of her sweet little heart. Actually, I wasn’t supposed to see any of this. Thelma wanted to surprise me. Thelma is wearing a vintage dress from [...]
