Dick and I finally took the girls to go see New Moon. All weekend they were asking when we would go. I have to admit, I was very slow to get on the Twilight bandwagon. When Twilight first came out, I thought it was some scary vampire movie. I don’t watch horror movies so I [...]

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 [...]

Seasonal Winter weight gain results in “Food Baby”.
By Jane on November 30, 2009
Yes, it’s that time of the year where my body decides it needs to pack on about ten more pounds (Hopefully that’s it!) in order to stay warm in the winter. Hibernation mode like the bears, ya know. Actually, it started last month…right around Halloween, surprise surprise. I realized this seasonal pattern a few years [...]

By Jane on November 26, 2010
So as I mentioned in my Thanksgiving message yesterday, we started out our day by taking a walk around my parent’s neighborhood. It was such a beautiful day! WALKING COOKING After our walk, Lucy and I got to cooking, along with Louise’s help.

Coming out of the closet! (My old clothes that is.)
By Jane on January 24, 2010
I went to an art gallery exhibit opening the other day (Story to come out shortly after this one.). I’m still trying to stick to my daily goal of wearing something I haven’t worn in a long time. I got this shirt three-four years ago and I have only worn it two times…until now. I’m [...]

Recipe – Persian Rice w/ Beef & Green Beans (Loobia Polow)
By Jane on September 11, 2009
Loobia (green bean) Polow (rice) is a SUPER-yummy Persian dish that combines fragrant Basmati rice with a green bean tomato stew infused with lots of great taste and flavor. I learned how to cook Persian food from my lovely Mother-in-Law. She is infamous in her family for being a fantastic cook and so to keep it [...]

In LA, you spend a third of your life in your car…
By Jane on December 14, 2009
It’s taking me some time to get into my groove here…so hard to find the time to blog. All my time is spent in the car, stuck in traffic, getting from place to place. It takes at least 45 minutes to get anywhere, even just driving 5 miles takes this long. Five miles in Metropolis [...]

Dick locks the keys in the Caddie, while it’s still running!
By Jane on January 14, 2011
The other day we were going to the grocery store and so since it was cold, Dick decided to warm up the car for a bit first. It is always a good idea to warm up your car before you take off but especially in the winter. I’ve always hated having to wait to warm [...]

Jane, amateur haircutter, strikes again.
By Jane on May 20, 2010
The boys are in need of a bit of a haircut. So, since I cut J LO’s hair the last time I was in LA, she wanted me to cut the boys hair. As I have said before, I’m definitely no professional and I’ve never been to beauty or hair school. I’ve cut women’s, girls’ [...]

Being a great parent is when you let kids be kids and let them bring out the kid in you. Even if it means you must don girly cupcakes & hearts underwear on your head. He is quite the Dad isn’t he? I don’t know too many men who would let their kids put underwear [...]

Steelhead Trout, Sweet Potato Fries, Oven-roasted Garlic, Salad and Brown Rice. Healthy & Yummy.
By Jane on October 30, 2009
If you’re looking for something healthy to eat, then look no more. Everything below is cooked in the oven (minus the salad) so it’s not FRIED. Here is my recipe and directions for making Steelhead Trout, sweet potato fries accompanied with a salad and brown rice. Remember, I do not include amounts as I do [...]

From SKIRT to DRESS: If you don’t like it, then you shoulda put a belt on it!
By Jane on November 10, 2010
As we sort through the clothes to keep during our CLOSET CLEANSING, I come across a skirt that the girls say they DON’T WANT anymore. I always have to sort through the stuff they dub “DON’T WANT/FIT” because even when they say they don’t like something, I know better…you know, cause I’m Mom! Funny thing [...]

Depreciation is a bitch. I will never buy a brand new car again.
By Jane on February 10, 2010
Because we have somehow found ourselves to be running a car business, our ride changes constantly. It’s awesome because I get to drive all different kinds of cars and figure them out. Keeps my brain working since I have to remember how to release the trunk, how to turn on the windshield wipers, and how [...]

Gourmet and natural pizza at its best!
By Jane on October 15, 2009
Right after the park and right before we take Dick to the bus station, we grab dinner at one of our favorite pizza places to eat. Super yummy and completely natural if not organic. The atmosphere here is hippy-chic, artsy, mellow, and the food is AMAZING. They are known for their pizza but they also [...]

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 [...]

Trying to avoid getting pushed off the ledge to see rooftop views of the G20 Protest.
By Jane on July 12, 2010
THE ROOF In search of some worthy protest excitement, we turn the corner and then we see a bunch of people heading up the stairs to this building nearby. My aunt doesn’t want to go but as you can see, MIA is urging her. She is successful. But once we get up there, we see [...]
