After painting first two colors (Hep Green and Reflecting Pool), I notice that the colors on my walls are turning out darker than the ones in the brochure. However, I’m still DETERMINED to pull this room together and make it FABULOUS for my girls. The girl’s room is low lit so that’s why the colors [...]

Using the Oreck Orbitor as an alternative to steam shampooing rugs and carpets.
By Jane on January 19, 2012
Now that Benz is mobile, we’ve been wanting to clean the rugs. My mom especially wants to clean her carpets but doesn’t like the shampooing wet method. She wanted to try Oreck’s Orbitor dry cleaning method and since she was already renting it for a day, she let me borrow it so we can clean [...]

Sarah Palin to run for President? God help us all…
By Jane on February 8, 2010
In a recent interview on Fox News (surprise surprise), Sarah Palin said that she would consider running for President in 2012. WHAT?!?!?! I think it’s absurd and ridiculous that this rinky-dink Former Alaskan Governor think she can be our President. She didn’t even know where the hell Russia is. I mean, I’m not that great [...]

Dinner at Katsuya Sushi on low key and fabulous New Year’s Eve.
By Jane on January 1, 2010
I have never really partied on New Year’s Eve. I always spend it at home, chillin. I think it’s because it’s cold and I really don’t want to venture out. Plus, with all the drunks out there, I would rather be with my family. As you can imagine, there’s tons to do in LA for [...]

Dinners at Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae’s. Yum!!
By Jane on November 30, 2009
Because my parents live less than a mile away from me, we’re always over there for dinner. Any time I’m lazy to cook, we call up my parents to see what they have. When I was in college, I would go home on weekends and raid my parents fridge to see what I could bring [...]

They’re not little pumpkins, they’re Persimmons! Fruit of the Gods.
By Jane on November 4, 2009
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 [...]

By Jane on November 25, 2009
I’m a late night person. I have a very strange schedule these days. Working late into the night is one of my all time ultimate favorite times to work because it’s ABSOLUTELY quiet. No cars, no kids screaming “Mommy, Mommy”. I can get alot done at night. 12:30 AM KITCHEN CLEANING. It’s 12:30 AM and [...]

I was recently hired to be the photographer for a Garden Party that was a surprise birthday party for my friend’s mom’s 60th birthday celebration and what a spectacular party it was! My friend, Kate Middleton, has a mad sense of interior design style and turns out, she is also an amazing event planner. Combine the two [...]

The kids want some new furniture…
By Jane on December 14, 2009
This nouveau furniture store is right around the corner from Lucy’s house. The kids love it but somehow, I just don’t think the style suites my house. I do love the white couch and chair that is behind Thelma.

Jane fails first Glucose Test and must go in for the 3-hour Test. Ugh…
By Jane on March 4, 2011
So, I failed the preliminary Glucose Test but missed the mark marginally. I scored 152 and 140 is the limit. Still, they wanted me to go in for the extended Glucose Test, which lasts THREE HOURS and fasting is required…because telling a pregnant woman to starve herself is a good thing. After delaying and forgetting [...]

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 [...]

Biking Out to Starbucks with Lucy & Oscar
By Jane on November 28, 2009
We’re doing the biking Starbucks thing. This time though, we have an extra special guest. Oscar! Lucy is of course a special guest too but Oscar is the baby, so he gets more attention. Look how Hollywood Oscar is with his hoodie, purse, and basket.

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 [...]

Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice with Saffron.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
Persians love a crispy crust (tadik) when they make their rice. Oftentimes, it is the MOST SOUGHT AFTER part of the rice. Now Persians use Basmati rice, which are long grains of fragrant white rice that don’t stick together like Asian Jasmine rice. Now it’s best to go to your local Middle Eastern or Indian [...]
