The other day, Thelma had found a black rag that was once part of Dick’s shirt. It had just been washed. She decided she wanted to wear it. She looks just adorable!! In Muslim cultures, older girls and women are REQUIRED to wear head dresses to cover their head and hair. I think it’s awesome [...]

I was meaning to plan a party for my 35th but have been just too busy with everything to even get it together. Doesn’t mean its not happening…just delayed a bit. However, I still had the MOST FABULOUS low key day…which was much needed. The day was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous…75F and sunny! My girlfriends came over, [...]

Chinatown for a late dinner with Queen Latifa and the gang.
By Jane on July 8, 2010
After I say hi to my uncle and his family and unload our things at my uncle’s house in Mississauga, I head downtown to see my aunt Queen Latifa and my cousins. First thing we do? The girls and I have only eaten the snacks we packed and some junk food along the way so [...]

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 [...]

Bush wacking and cleaning up my dump of a backyard.
By Jane on February 25, 2011
Winter and the yard work gets neglected, especially since I got pregnant in the fall, there’s so much that I should have done prior to winter but simply didn’t have the time or energy. Since we’re somewhat cleaned up the front, and my backyard is looking like one big dump…time to get to work again! [...]

Easy At-Home Hair Coloring with Sally’s Products.
By Jane on December 3, 2009
I started dying my hair when I was in college. I HATED my original hair color and wanted look different so started coloring my hair. It’s been all kinds of crazy shades of black, brown, red, orange, and even blond highlights. Although I used to get it professionally done, this is extremely pricey for one [...]

Jane: Wanted woman by the cops?
By Jane on December 29, 2009
Thelma is missing good ole southern grits so we decide to go get some. She also wants some alone time with me at the Starbucks. I get ready and we’re off. She wants to sit up front and because it’s close, I let her. As we’re pulling out, I see a cop car with a [...]

A match for my New Year’s frame.
By Jane on January 15, 2012
We had so much fun painting on New Year’s that I decided to make a match for the first frame. The girls wanted to paint something else as well. So as they painted, I made a mate for my frame. I likes! Now where to put them! -Jane, Ah-Tiste.

A few weeks ago, Dick and I attended the wedding of some dear friends of mine, Tiffany and Patrick. You may remember Tiffany from the Bruchetta Recipe Post. She’s the founder of GoBigHead.com. The ceremony was touching, the wedding decor was gorgeous, and the Bride was glowing.

Reasonable Ron’s AGAIN: This time, it’s just me and the girls.
By Jane on May 8, 2010
As I mentioned, the Lexus we just got needs two tires replaced. However, when we went to have them changed, we discovered that the LOCK KEY for the WHEELS is missing. So, I have to pick one up at Lexus first. This key is necessary because one of the lug nuts is a different size…used [...]

Does this give you any kind of inclination as to the state of my brains? I almost walked out the door like this. Only after a bit did I realize that something didn’t feel just quite right. Luckily I did make the necessary adjustments prior to venturing out in public. -Jane, Preggar Brained.

Trung Thu- Vietnamese Fall Moon Festival
By Jane on September 20, 2010
Every year, there is a Vietnamese tradition for the family where the kids get together and light up candle lanterns close to the full moon in celebration of the harvest. It’s called the Mid-Fall Moon Festival, which I thought was odd because officially, Fall isn’t even here yet. But, whatevs…Our community had one over the [...]

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.”

Late run to Walmart for Arts and Crafts
By Jane on November 23, 2009
I like to buy things at the dollar store to use for arts and crafts projects at home. It’s a great inexpensive way to let your kids tune into their artistic side without spending tons of money because arts and crafts supplies can get pretty pricey. At the dollar store you usually find wooden frames, boxes, birdhouses, [...]

Did that Truck just run over a bunch of chickens?? No, it’s just FUZZY/FURRY trim. WTF???
By Jane on April 20, 2010
I was at the gas station getting gas when an SUV pulls up. I thought for a minute my lasered eyes were failing me because the car looked kinda BLURRY DIRTY but when I finally confirmed that indeed my vision was PERFECT, I realized that the truck was not dirty but FUZZY WUZZY. WTF are [...]

The Best Green Tea Ice Cream EVAH!
By Jane on July 13, 2010
While I was at the protest, my uncle took the girls to his house and bribed them with what else but ICE CREAM. Being that Toronto is a very international city, we’re able to buy REAL green tea ice cream from the Korean/Japanese grocery store. I say real because I have bought green tea ice [...]

My great aunt, MAGDA, from my dad’s side lives in South France and was visiting other family in the US so she decided to swing by Metropolis to come see us. The number of visitors we are having this year is insane! But, it’s the best kind of insanity…family! I’m so glad to see her [...]
