As I mentioned, occassionally, Dick and I and the girls do some small-time modeling/acting on the side. It’s fun and it’s really nice to unexpectedly get a check in the mail every now and then. I get a call last week from my agent saying that HGTV would like to use me for another Fine Living [...]

My THREE kids. More of the girls and their bro.
By Jane on July 8, 2011
Although we didn’t plan it this way, having a baby years after the older sister has worked out superb for us. I have the best helpers and big sisters a Mommy could ever ask for. Thelma and Louise just adore their little bro. I’m still not used to saying I have THREE kids, not to [...]

Your Daily Osho: Retrospective Wisdom. It’s worthless! No one will listen to an insane person.
By Jane on February 1, 2011
Ohhh, this is SO hard to do…being aware when you’re at your angriest! At least it was for me. I remember the days when I would get so angry at Dick about “things” and would just lash out at him. I’d bring up everything from the past even though it wasn’t relevant, and it would [...]

A clean kitchen and good wine is a must.
By Jane on October 12, 2009
Cooking when the kitchen is dirty is just not fun. I just emptied the dishwasher, put away more dirty dishes, cleaned off the counters, have my wine and NOW I’m ready to cook! Anyone else must start off with a clean slate before a new mess is made? -Jane, Must-be-Clean Cook

No TV = Creativity = Louise: Taxi Driver
By Jane on August 31, 2010
I’m not sure if you remember but we don’t have any TV channels, not even the basics. We have TVs and we’ll rent movies or watch whatever we have, but I cut the TV a while ago. The girls were watching it all day. Dick would get sucked in as well and I almost never [...]

Sorry it’s been so long since I posted anything. I’ve resided myself to not stress about blogging and to live life rather than just write about it. I try to do both but writing (and editing pictures) about it take much more time. Anyway, love my fans and faithful blog readers… -Jane, XOXO.

EVERYDAY OSHO: Illuminiation. Chicken Soup for this Jane’s Soul.
By Jane on January 26, 2011
Throughout my life I’ve been turmoiled internally and it’s recently (in the past few years) that I’ve come to appreciate all the stresses in my life. Instead of looking at them as horrible things that have happened to me, I can now look at them as learning experiences and appreciate the challenges that come into [...]

Check out the wheels on this Escalade. I can’t decide if I like it or not? When everything else on an Escalade is so chunky, these rims just seem too MEEK, especially with the FLOWER look. I’m not really a fan of Escalades but they’re supposed to be PIMP and these rims just ain’t that [...]

I saw this on one of my friend’s Facebook wall and found it QUITE amusing. A woman is standing in front of a mirror, nude, staring at herself and not liking what she’s seeing one bit. Turning this way and that, she says to her husband, “I feel fat, old, ugly and saggy, and I [...]

Startbucks Pumpkin Muffin…a seasonal treat that needs to be permanent!
By Jane on October 6, 2010
My new favorite treat for myself is a PUMPKIN MUFFIN from Starbucks. It goes so great with my HOT CARAMEL MACCHIATO. Not too RICH or DRY like some of their other desserts, this pumpkin muffin (with cream cheese in the middle of the top) is the perfect blend of MOISTNESS and SWEETNESS. I was told [...]

Cutie Petutie Selena Gomez’s Video Naturally
By Jane on January 6, 2010
I was watching TV with Thelma. She was watching the Disney Channel and Selena Gomez’s video Naturally came on. I hate to admit it but Selena is such a cutie. Surprisingly, her song Naturally has a great beat and girlfriend can carry a tune! Enjoy her video! She’s just adorable! -Jane, Unabashed Lover of Teeny [...]

The MADNESS that is Black Friday at 2:30 in the morning!!
By Jane on November 26, 2011
I’ve never been to any BLACK FRIDAY event. Normally, it starts at 5-6AM and I’m just not inclined at that hour to awake from my REM sleep to go and stand in a long-ass line, out in the cold, push and shove, and run around like a madwoman to try to get a few deals. [...]

Pressure washing my patio and anything else I want to make new again.
By Jane on April 23, 2010
My back patio is made of concrete and it’s in dire need of some maintenance. The patio sits on the north side so it also gets the LEAST amount of sun and even a little moldy over the winter. It’s also that time of year when all the spring “droppings” fall off the trees and [...]

You may or may not know that I am the one who takes care of the yard work in our family. Yes, I’m the “yard boy” or if you live out in California, I’m the “gardener”. Either way, I mow the grass, weedwack, edge, and leaf blow. It takes me about 2.5 hours to do my 1+ acre yard the way I like it. Yes, I’m anal about the yard. I like it to look neat and pristine, hence I do not let Dick cut the grass…not that he would volunteer to do it anyway.

I saw this beautiful Vintage Motorcyle while walking around Queenie’s neighborhood. It just looked PICTURE PERFECT sitting on this old front porch. I don’t know what kind this is but I love the RETRO look of it. Is that a couch cushion being used as a seat though? Although I love it, I just love [...]

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 [...]

We visit a beautiful garden belonging to a Historic House for Easter.
By Jane on April 5, 2010
My mom read in the news paper somewhere that this historic house was having an Easter thing for kids so we go. An egg hunt was held in the gardens, which are just beautiful here. I think that this place is used as a venue for weddings. It’s gorgeous!

People camping out at the mall for iPad 2.
By Jane on March 14, 2011
While at the mall the other, I notice some people sitting outside the Apple Store. They were camping out for the iPad 2. The only time I ever camped out for anything was for New Kids on the Block tickets…but really, it was just to hang out with my friends and was something to do. [...]

Private Art Classes: A Look at Magda’s Home Studio
By Jane on February 18, 2010
You remember I said my girls take art classes from a beautiful woman and artist, Magda, who lives down the street from me. (Click HERE). We are so privileged to have her in our lives. She teaches the girls so much about art and I’m so thankful that she is willing to teach my girls. [...]

The girls pretending to be preggars, like their Mommy. PREGGAR LOUISE Oh and the hat and arm warmers are from Thelma and Louise’s best friend, Kristen Stewart. They’re from a company called Litte Miss Matched, where everything “matches” but is not exactly alike. See how the stripes are different colors on the hands? Aren’t they [...]
