June Cleaver and I became good friends when Thelma was in public school for Kindergarten. One of the few good things that came out of that. June and I connected right away being that June is also an exceptional artist, she’s groovy, down-to-earth and unpretentious…she’s not your typical “Mommy” and isn’t phased by some of [...]

Inspiration of the day: From Hardship comes growth.
By Jane on September 9, 2010
Cold and hunger are the forces that produce warmth and fullness. From poverty we can become rich. Sickness spurs our search for health. Health or wealth by birth is not ours – it is our parent’s gift to us. As such, it will disappear sooner or later. You must be the creator of your own [...]

Do you think a cop would give this guy a ticket?
By Jane on July 21, 2010
One of the biggest pains about being in a big city is parking. Street parking is allowed, you just have to pay the meter…and remember to keep paying it. Wonder if this guy paid the meter…I don’t see a stub. More than that, I wonder if the Toronto police would give this person a ticket. [...]

Removing Fall Leaves, Round 2.
By Jane on November 22, 2009
So, last time, round one was using my handy dandy backpack leaf blower. (Click HERE for that post.). This time, there’s not as many leaves so I use my Husquevarna riding lawn mower to mulch up the leaves and push them to the side. Even though it is sunny today, there is a breeze and it’s chilly. [...]

Thelma was inspired to do a painting the other day. She found this extra piece of plywood I had in our shed and painted it white. Working on her masterpiece. Truly an artist at work. It’s almost like she’s doing a dance. Go on girl! Get that creativity out! -Jane, Mother of Artistic Thelma.

An attempt to meet my favorite blogger, Perez Hilton. No, I’m not a celebrity stalker!
By Jane on December 12, 2009
As I have mentioned, I have yet to meet a celebrity in person or even see any roaming around LA. So, I’m on the lookout for some celebrities while I’m in LA. I found out that my favorite pimp daddy blogger, Perez Hilton, was doing a book signing to promote his new book, True Bloggywood [...]

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 [...]

The “Other” dish that Dick can cook: Meat-Sauce Spaghetti with Baby Bella Mushrooms.
By Jane on November 19, 2009
We’re trying to figure out what to eat (as almost every night) and decide we haven’t had spaghetti in a while. I actually make a very good spaghetti but since this is the OTHER dish that Dick is good at making (Click HERE for the pan-seared Kabob recipe), I let him do the honors. I [...]

Tired, fed up, I ditch all the work and head to Starbucks and the pool.
By Jane on June 16, 2010
So by now you know that in the last 48 hours I’ve endured a sick child, running around to take care of our car business…kids swimming practice…packing, loading, driving…painting, cleaning, scrubbing…and no sleep. The next morning, Dick takes his pretty little ass’s time waking up. He doesn’t get up until like 11:00. Mind you, I’ve [...]

Fanny Mae giving the boys at Best Buy a hard time.
By Jane on November 18, 2010
My mom (Fanny Mae) being a Chemical Engineer, is exceptionally thorough…down to the most minute details. Fanny Mae is looking to replace her internet router, which she has had for many many years and now needs to be replace it because it’s died. She’s at Best Buy, talking to one of the sales guys and asks so [...]

I am one of those people who are really bad at sending stuff in the mail. For some reason it’s just super difficult for me to get to the post office…even when the lines aren’t incredibly long like the other day when I had to stand in line listening to the complainer guy. Unless necessary and [...]

The family goes sledding with my snowboard.
By Jane on January 12, 2011
The girls really want to sled down our hill but all the sleds are sold out so, as a suggestion from my sister Lucy, we they try out using my snowboard as a sled. The three of them actually fit nicely. This hill is pretty steep and if you’re coming down from the top, it [...]

My kids have a few jokes to tell.
By Jane on October 1, 2010
Thelma is often telling us jokes that she made up herself. Most times, we have to think about it for a second and then still, she’ll have to explain it to us. Leaving us thinking…hmmmmm. However, it’s usually funny to us because well, (1) we’re her parents and (2) just the innocence of her train [...]

Enjoying Nature: A picnic by the river in the mountains.
By Jane on September 26, 2009
Every summer we go to the mountains to chill by the river and enjoy the beautiful nature that we have access to. We unplug ourselves for the day since there’s no TV, computers, or cell phone reception. This year, we’ve been so busy that the girls and I have made a few trips with [...]

Christmas tree finally up. Let’s hope it stays that way.
By Jane on December 5, 2011
We get home and it’s time to lug the tree into the house. Neither Lucy nor I want to touch the tree cause you know it’s got all that gooey, sticky sap and we don’t want to get our outfits dirty. Yes, we were being girly-girls. Whatevs. Sometimes you have to. Louise cuts the string [...]

Thelma goes to the ER…again! Appendicitis???
By Jane on June 12, 2010
My poor thing has been having stomach pains and diarrhea all day and occasionally vomiting. I thought maybe it was just a thing that would pass. It wasn’t until that night when she couldn’t sleep and was crying because it hurt so bad that I started to become really worried. I was sleeping, when Thelma [...]
