Since the girls fell asleep while I was finishing up our Sponge Bob pumpkin, they were surprised to see that Mommy didn’t screw up the carving job. I’m glad my “customers” were happy with their order.

Louise works “hard” for her money and gets called to do another modeling job.
By Jane on October 24, 2011
Louise gets called in to do another modeling job. The last job we did together as a family when we did the Bayliner Shoot but it’s been a year since Louise had a job by herself. Remember the Denktek flossers? I’m trying to figure out all the logistics because Dick is out of town, I [...]

World Cup Mania – so much more exiting than Football.
By Jane on July 11, 2010
As I said, soccer is HUGE all over the world, except in the US. Here is some footage of when Brazil was celebrating in the streets of Little Italy, Toronto for Round 16. The streets are full of revelers who are insanely huge fans of their team and take it to the streets to show [...]

Jane has no qualms about child labor. Everyone helps clean the house!
By Jane on August 23, 2011
We had spent our first night at Mr. Bean’s house so the kids could play. The next day, it was time to get to work on our rental property. The first thing we always do when we stay at one of our properties is give it a good cleaning. I don’t like to stay where other [...]

We break in June’s new crib for Halloween: Great food, great friends.
By Jane on November 2, 2011
For Halloween, we went over to my friend and partner in crime, June Cleaver’s new house. You may remember, we spent last Halloween together too. June is in the midst of making some of her super yummy Chicken Bacon Chowder and Cheddar Biscuits. Also here is Confuscia, a dear friend that I met through Benz [...]

Queen Latifa brings down Eminem and Taylor to visit me for about a week and a half. She drops them off and then heads to go visit some friends in Louisiana and plans on coming back after 4-5 days. I’m so excited to have them here!! June tells me that my house is pretty much [...]

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 [...]

Riding the ChooChoo…at the mall.
By Jane on March 10, 2011
Like I said, I haven’t been to the mall in like two years…and I realized why. Besides it being outside “the bubble” that I live in, it’s crazy crowded (at least it was that day) and stressful. While we were there looking at the Orchid Exhibit, the girls see a Choo Choo Train that goes [...]

Jane and June have a theme party: PIMPs and HOs.
By Jane on May 5, 2010
My girl June Cleaver and I decided we would throw a theme party and used our birthdays (which are kinda around the same time) as a excuse for one. I love love love theme parties!! It’s so fun to get dressed up and as a mom, I get almost zero chance to dress up. Our [...]

Simple and super tasty Almond Crusted Chilean Sea Bass.
By Jane on February 11, 2011
I made some Chilean Sea Bass the other day for my dad’s birthday. All I did was sprinkle salt, pepper, and my special mushroom seasoning (optional) and cooked the bass in the oven at 350F for about 30-40 minutes (or until it’s cooked). Use olive oil to coat the pan. I then added a crushed [...]

Here’s a Valentine’s card that Dick sent me in 1999 when I was living in Detroit. In case you can’t read Dick’s wonderful handwriting: “This is for you & Barfi (our dog). You guys are the best, especially you, only you, always only you. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Yes, he can be quite a sweetie. Hope [...]

Lucy and I look for the perfect short and fat Christmas tree.
By Jane on December 3, 2011
We usually do Christmas at my mom’s house so the Christmas tree goes over there. Every year, it’s Lucy and I who go shopping for the tree. Don’t let the picture fool you into thinking Lucy is taller than me…Lucy is sporting 3″ heeled boots. In actuality, she’s one inch SHORTER than me, even though [...]

Going back to your roots. My friend is finding his Vietnamese soul.

Born and raised in Paris, Nacho Bui is looking to learn about his roots and is traveling all over the world to document his journey. Below is the trailer for his series. It’s done quite [...]

There are so many people out there with personalized decals on their cars. Here’s one I spotted the other day. Darius & Tina. Together 4 Ever. Seriously? Is this really necessary? Here I am professing how much I want to use my husband as a punching bag sometimes. And here they are, OBVIOUSLY COMMITTED to [...]

Your daily Benz: To TUCK or not to TUCK…my sweet little sailor.
By Jane on August 15, 2011

Not one to usually hold back, I used to be one that complained all the time…or at least to the ones closest to me. I think I was at my most unhappy when I was in Detroit. The consultants we were working with at Ford were pissing me off, the telephone company was pissing me [...]

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 [...]

Ok, so I’m going out of order so I could post the Thanksgiving pictures. Back to when we were in Gotham City. As I mentioned, our studio condo is only about 500 sq. ft. so there’s hardly room to move around yet play. However, my girls are able to transcend all that and still have a [...]

Sometimes you just get to feeling overworked and underpaid. You’re tired, you have too much to do, and you just want to go ON STRIKE. Only, you’re a mom and a wife and there is no supported workers union for such positions. You feel like your mate isn’t helping enough and, when you’re running around [...]

One thing that I ALWAYS do when I’m in Toronto is go eat DIM SUM. Actually, we go to this great DIM SUM place in Mississauga. It’s Ron’s favorite. Ron comes here so often that the management knows him AND can even speak some Chinese to them. There are many Vietnamese who can speak Chinese and [...]
