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 [...]

Jane’s Teenage Diet & Exercise Plan. LOL
By Jane on February 25, 2010
Another great find in my vintage GREEN INDEX CARD HOLDER. Like many teenagers these days, body image was important and I was always concerned with my weight (which lead to my eventual bout with Bulimia). Apparently, when I was a teenager, I thought this is all it would take to lose weight. The bulk of [...]

Homeschooling: Not for everyone but DEFINITELY for us!!
By Jane on September 14, 2009
I know there are people who are out there that are like, “Homeschool?!?!? How do your kids get the “social” part of school?” My response is…”Besides letting the kids out of their cage for about an hour a day to stretch out their legs, we occasionally take them to the local grocery store to see how other humans interact.”

Queenie Quotes: Words of wisdom from the Queen!
By Jane on January 8, 2011
Quotes (and words of wisdom) from my Aunt, Queen Latifa (aka The Chin). Queenie is a no-nonsense, blunt and to the point woman…texted to me from my sister while they are in Vietnam. “If I’m paralyzed, take me around all day. At least 8 hours a day…less if it’s cold. Don’t leave me at home. [...]

It’s Black Friday and I know some of you were up at the crack of dawn, even before that. Yeah, I was up at 3:30am but there ain’t NO WAY I was heading out in that freezing weather to stand in line for a $10 discount off some appliance. I may be a bargain shopper [...]

2010 World Cup: Soccer is in the air around Toronto.
By Jane on July 9, 2010
If you didn’t already know, Toronto is super multi-cultural and is a mega melting pot. Some say it’s like the NY of Canada. There’s Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Italy, Little Portugal, Greektown, etc. etc. etc. Almost everyone speaks at least two languages. Therefore, when you have something HUGE like the WORLD CUP, Toronto is well represented by [...]

Photo Shoot: The story of Mama Bear, Papa Bear and Ickle Me, Pickle Me, and Tickle Me too!
By Jane on December 22, 2011
I had a photo shoot the other day where this time, I was the photographer. One of my clients had contacted me to update their family photos because their family had expanded from having two boys (one biological and one adopted since he was weeks old) to just having adopted a daughter from Ethiopia. I [...]

Impatience at the Post Office. What do you expect?
By Jane on December 18, 2010
I had to go to the post office to mail off some photos for a client. It was Friday, around 2:30pm and as you can imagine, it was JAM PACKED. The line has extended far beyond the other side of the door to actually gets you within visibility of the agents that work behind the [...]

You gotta know when you hold em’.
By Jane on September 20, 2011
You know how whenever you go to the casino there are a bunch of Asians? They’re probably Vietnamese. For some reason, Viet people love to gamble. At least some of them. Well, it’s because we start them young. Haha. Just kidding. We do not gamble. I am not a fan of gambling. I can count on [...]

Thelma goes CRAZY at crazy clothes day at our homeschool co-op.
By Jane on February 18, 2011
Our co-op often has a special day where the kids can dress up. We have pajama day, crazy hair day, crazy hat day, etc. Today was crazy clothes day and Thelma threw something together that morning. Pretty crazy that girl and she didn’t even have any help from her crazy Momma. I stopped dressing them [...]

Not a fan of spring mattresses, how about a futon mattress?
By Jane on December 29, 2010
The bed frames that we got for the girls are like platform beds where a box is not needed. Dick has a thing for futon mattresses and so wanted to get that particular kind for the girls since he believes they give you better support for your back. He hates spring mattresses. The girls were [...]

Just thought you might be missing Monk and Ducky. It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned them. They’re still around. They’re just chillin’ with their friends. -Jane, Grandma to Monk & Ducky.

A Chill Sunday. Dim sum, driving around, the park, and walking around.
By Jane on December 6, 2010
Our Sunday in Gotham City started off with a great Dim Sum brunch.We love Dim Sum and since we can’t get any in Metropolis, we look forward to it whenever we’re here. Afterward we got our fill of the scrumptious dumplings , we decided to drive around to some of the older, charming neighborhoods that Gotham [...]

OMG, do my eyes deceive me??? Kate Gosselin…is that you??!?!??! Where are your EIGHT kids??? While at my usual hangout, I was surprised when I thought I saw Kate Gosselin. The Kate Gosselin-Mom-Look-a-Like was a mom sporting the Kate Gosselin doo. The reality show, super-mom of two sets of multiples has reached new celebrity heights [...]

The usual mountains, with exception of the snake.
By Jane on July 21, 2011
With Lucy in town and it being the 4th of July weekend, we also decided to go back to the mountains for yet another day of chillaxin’ in the mountains. Are you getting bored of my stories yet? Are you starting to see a pattern in our simple lives? Nearly every summer for the past [...]

The girls had so much fun on the roof that they begged Dick to take them up on our tree stump. This large oak tree feel down a few years ago when we had a thunderstorm. I was very sad to lose my tree but was super glad that it fell away from my house [...]

J Lo, Will and Carlton visit us in Metropolis.
By Jane on May 12, 2010
My sister-in-law, J Lo and her boys, Will and Carlton, are visiting us for a couple of weeks and my girls are SUPER EXCITED. They adore their cousins. We’re still homeschooling so Will and Carlton get to come with us to the Co-op. Coming from LA, I guess we’re considered the “cun-tree” but I’d take [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear: I recycle Lucy’s black shirt and match it up with some Gap Maternity Jeans.
By Jane on January 3, 2011
Lucy has a lot of old clothes at my parents house that just sits there…day after day, month after month, year after year. So I’ll often go through it to see what I can use since she isn’t! Why waste I say. Recycle! Take this black shirt for instance. Actually, Louise found this shirt in [...]

Lucy gives the girls “shoulder buddies”.
By Jane on June 12, 2011
Lucy happened upon these “Shoulder Buddies” while at the airport and bought them for the girls. They look like these little crazy haired little “pets” that sit on magnets. One is named “Goal” and the other “Crush”. Aren’t they cute? I just noticed, they don’t have any arms. So what you do is put your [...]

SOMEONE forgot to empty their pockets before putting their clothes in the dirty pile.
By Jane on March 14, 2010
I’m doing like a thousand loads of laundry…at least that’s what it feels like. Of course I don’t bother to empty the pockets of the clothes. I expect whoever puts their stuff in the dirty pile to do that. I don’t have time to double check for these things. So, I go to retrieve all [...]

I love how the people behind the counter at the Post Office can carry on a conversation in front a long, intensely quiet, line of people waiting patiently to mail their stuff like no one’s around. I guess if they didn’t though, they wouldn’t have much conversation other than “Will you be needing any stamps [...]
