One of the reasons I love Dick so much is that he’s really a fantastic Dad. Dick ADORES his girls and loves hanging with them, playing sports with them, wrestling with them, watching cartoons with them, etc. Being a big kid himself, all of this comes super naturally and easily.

We’re reviewing how to make Pillsbury Mini-Brownies from the box.
By Jane on February 6, 2010
I cook but I don’t bake that much. When I do, I use the pre-made or pre-mixed kind – I know, not very healthy. I decided to treat my girls to some brownies. We see a new Pillsbury brownie mix that makes mini-brownies and it comes with 2 trays! Louise is loving helping me in [...]

Kwik Kwote: Chick-fil-A on a Sunday
By Jane on October 4, 2009
I’m sitting outside…guess where…yes, Starbucks. I see two male teenagers sitting in their car, ready to leave to get to their next destination. Teenboy 1 to teenboy 2: “Dude, do you mind going thru the drive-thru of Chick-fil-a for a sec?… …Oh fuck! It’s Sunday, dude. They’re closed.” Now, how many of you have said [...]

Biking and Hill-Climbing Preggar.
By Jane on January 21, 2011
The other day, we were blessed with unseasonable warm weather for this time of the year so we decided to take our bikes out and enjoy it! Plus, we had to go get some groceries. The hill next to our house was still iced over in parts so we had to be super careful. Dick’s [...]

The US Open tennis finals were just on with Nadal and Djokovic competing. A fantastic match. Here’s my dad, Freddie Mac, and Dick chillin’ on the couch watching it. Cute! I love how my dad rests his arms on his melly belly. -Jane, Fan of Father, Son-in-Law Bonding.

Dick: How to diffuse an angry woman.
By Jane on April 22, 2010
So, to pick up where we left off…I had written a note for Dick. However, I didn’t give it to him. I knew I wrote it out of PASSION and ANGER and didn’t want things to get worse. So, I crawled in bed after writing my RANT. After Dick and the kids came home, I [...]

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 [...]

We walk to Chinatown for some late eats with my Uncle Diddy: Star Athlete.
By Jane on July 21, 2010
After Eminem, MIA and I closed down Andy’s Pool Hall, we walked back to my Aunt’s place to find UNCLE DIDDY was still awake. DIDDY: THE STAR ATHLETE Back in the day, Uncle Diddy was a STAR ATHLETE in his youth and exceptionally good-looking for a Vietnamese boy. Most are short and he’s almost 6-feet…quite [...]

Phu Quoc at Night: Are you an adventurous Seafood Lover?
By Jane on March 1, 2011
In Vietnam, there’s always plenty to do at night. Vietnamese locals are always working and many of the businesses (especially places to eat) are open until the wee hours. Nighttime is when all the fishermen come out. \ This must be what they’re fishing for…late night eats in town. In Phu Quoc, they have a [...]

Matching paint on a Friday night at the Home Depot. Fun…NOT!
By Jane on June 16, 2010
Our very first house is now one of our rentals and we just had a tenant move out. It was decently cleaned by the previous tenant and Dick seemed to think it was good enough but this perfectionist is not happy with “good enough”. A tenant doesn’t want to see remnants from the previous tenant, [...]

Venturing out to the grocery store in the snow.
By Jane on January 6, 2011
We needed a few things from the grocery store, anticipating that we might get snowed in. With the way the snow was coming down, it was a possibility. Dick wanted to take the Caddie. He loves that car. Louise volunteers to dust off the snow on the car. The drive out of our neighborhood. Of [...]

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 [...]

We would like to announce that little Benz will no longer be a little brother but later this year will be a big brother. Yes, you can pick up your jaw off the floor now. No we did not plan it although for me, it’s not really a big surprise. Dick could look at me [...]

Wrestling over Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia
By Jane on January 19, 2010
My favorite ice cream is Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia. It’s so perfect with bits of chocolate chips and red cherries. YYUUUUMMM! Well, I made Dick go for a late night run for some the other night. No, I’m not pregnant. I just really wanted some Cherry Garcia! Dick obviously wanted some too otherwise he [...]

By Jane on March 18, 2010
I haven’t had or made stuffed cabbage soup in a long time so I decided to make it for the family the other day. You know how much this family loves soups.

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 [...]

Gobble Gobble. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.
By Jane on November 25, 2010
I just wanted to wish everyone an extremely great Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for and I hope to try to remember that daily rather than once a year. My favorite thing about the holidays is, hands down, having the family come together. It’s all about that for me. This year, my sis [...]

Another beautiful day and we are going to SEIZE it! Actually, we’re hungry and decided to bike out back to our fave burger joint, FIVE GUYS burgers. We get sidetracked for a second when the girls decide they want to go inside the pet store to see if there are any puppies. Sorry, no puppies [...]

For Christmas, my cousin from Australia (MIA), you know the one who visited me and we went mechanical bull riding, sends the girls an awesome Science kit called Mind Blowing Science. The girls have been itching to do the projects ever since Christmas and yes, I’m just getting to it now. Because I’m thinking this could [...]

Thelma turns 10 and has a night out on the town.
By Jane on December 18, 2011
My Thelma is TEN this year. Ten years old! I can’t believe it’s been ten years already. This year, instead of a party, Thelma, Louise and their best friend, Kristen Stewart, celebrated not only Thelma’s Birthday, but Kristen’s birthday as well cause it was not too long ago. Kristen came over to spend the night [...]
