It looks like a tomato or a mini-pumpkin but actually this sweet, crunchy fruit is well loved by Asians and Persians, especially my family. It’s fall and my parents’ Persimmon tree is full of Persimmons. One year, they had close to 500 of these orange beauties on ONE tree! Then we had a late frost [...]

Individual Mommy Time with Thelma.
By Jane on January 22, 2010
Dick and I like to give the girls some one-on-one time and so we’ll split up, each of us taking one of the girls. They like to have that individual attention from us. Of course, I am the photographer and so I have pictures of my time with the girls.

Damn those word confirmations that verify if you’re human!
By Jane on August 13, 2010
I just love how these days you have to type in word confirmations where you have to use Million-Dollar Man type vision to try to decipher MORPHED ILLEGIBLE WORDS so the system can identify that you are indeed HUMAN and not some computer who is generating a bunch of automatic posts or whatever it is [...]

Freezing food makes for less trips to the grocery store. It’s time to be efficient!!
By Jane on January 23, 2010
This year, I’m trying to be more efficient with my time. We’re so busy that I don’t have time to run around to go grocery shopping as often as I do. After spending time with J Lo and Mama F, I noticed how they would freeze meats and veggies so that if they wanted to [...]

By Jane on December 10, 2009
Curious, I asked Louise about Thelma’s upcoming birthday. “So, what do you want to get Thelma for her birthday?” “I don’t know. Well…there is ONE thing …” “What is it?”

Preggar Sweets Junkie: Krispy Kreme
By Jane on April 27, 2011
The girls’ best friend, Kristin Stewart, came over the other day to play. We had gone to sign them up for a summer camp together for a couple of weeks this summer. It was a crazy, blistering, unseasonably cold day that day. I made sure I asked the girls to bring sweaters but they refused [...]

Some pictures of Louise all dressed up like an adult. For some reason I think she looks like a school teacher. A cute one, of course. She makes me laugh so much. -Jane, Mother of Fashionable Louise.

McDonald’s Sausage Biscuit and Gravy
By Jane on October 9, 2009
All of a sudden I get a sudden craving today for a McDonald’s sausage biscuit and gravy. I haven’t had one of these in maybe over a year, probably longer. Honestly, I don’t know how long…that’s how long it’s been. I know, I know…not the healthiest breakfast in the world but that’s why I had [...]

Bubba hooks his finger and I get the catch of the day!
By Jane on July 15, 2010
After getting to our industrial spot for fishing, we start to fish. See, life jacket no more. I know how to swim. I know, even people who know how to swim can drown. Whatever, I just don’t like wearing it ok? Makes me sweaty. MIA follows suit but then my aunt attaches this cord to [...]

By Jane on March 18, 2010
SUCKS TO BE SICK ON YOUR BIRTHDAY Louise has been counting down to her birthday since the beginning of the year. It’s crazy how much kids anticipate these things. Sadley, on the VERY DAY of her birthday, she had a horrible cough, high fever, complained of stomach pains and was breathing very strangely. Short pants [...]

Some added PIZZAZZ: More Custom wall painting
By Jane on March 11, 2010
In addition to painting the walls, I also wanted to add something “extra”. I went online and found some inspiration for the room. The flowers are just beautiful. I love the colors but decide to replicate it in a simpler form. I pencil the drawing on the wall first. This is where the bulk of [...]

MUST WATCH: Man with no arms plays the piano.
By Jane on August 27, 2010
I saw this header on my Yahoo! page and was intrigued. This young man, who lost his arms in a accident when he was 10, was on China’s version of our America’s Got Talent and showed what TALENT really is. It moved me to tears as well. I REALLY need to stop complaining about my [...]

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 [...]

Louise is determined to complete her Summer Reading Book Club.
By Jane on July 29, 2011
You may remember last year when the girls were reading up a storm to claim their prize for the summer reading book club. Well, this year they were a little less motivated since they already knew what the prize was…a booklet that had freebies like a free ice cream, free tickets to our Ladies Soccer [...]
