Turbo-pressure washing my porch the other day made it look great, however, it knocked off a little more paint than I wanted off the railing. I haven’t painted it in a few years and it’s been worn by the weather. I like the DISTRESSED look but I also don’t want my railing to rot. So, [...]

My Asian, nearly non-existent eye lashes definitely need mascara!
By Jane on December 15, 2010
I’m Asian and we’re not really known for having long eyelashes. Actually, Asians are lucky if they even have an inkling of lashes. Unlike my Persian-mixed daughters who inherited long luscious lashes from her father’s side, I am not as fortunate as they are. Therefore, I need a little assistance from the mascara wand. My [...]

Pics of Mommy & Benz…I DO exist!
By Jane on July 9, 2011
I guess if I’m going to have any pics with my baby, I’m going to have to take them myself. Except this one, this was taken by my lovely Thelma. Thank you honey! I kiss and love on my kids a million times a day. This little guy gets tons of smooches. Check out that [...]

Matching paint on a Friday night at the Home Depot. Fun…NOT!
By Jane on June 16, 2010
Our very first house is now one of our rentals and we just had a tenant move out. It was decently cleaned by the previous tenant and Dick seemed to think it was good enough but this perfectionist is not happy with “good enough”. A tenant doesn’t want to see remnants from the previous tenant, [...]

Eggrolls, Lenny’s Subs, PacMan Carrot Cake and Red Velvet Ghost Cupcakes: Birthday Time!
By Jane on December 21, 2010
It’s Thelma’s 9th birthday and because she had quite the party last year (Click HERE for last year’s birthday in LA.), we decided to let her invite just a handful of friends over for a simple yet intimate gathering. Initially, Thelma wanted to have Persian food. But, Persian food, although super delicious, is time consuming [...]

A cluttered house is a cluttered mind.
By Jane on December 8, 2009
So, we decide to get rid of all the shit that is cluttering our office because…a cluttered house is a cluttered mind! My house isn’t as messy as like one of those houses you see on Clean House (Great show!) but cleanliness breeds for better quality of thinking and good feng shui for the room. [...]

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 [...]

Not a fan of spring mattresses, how about a futon mattress?
By Jane on December 29, 2010
The bed frames that we got for the girls are like platform beds where a box is not needed. Dick has a thing for futon mattresses and so wanted to get that particular kind for the girls since he believes they give you better support for your back. He hates spring mattresses. The girls were [...]

How to cut a Pineapple…as painful as it is.
By Jane on August 30, 2010
Occasionally, we will get a craving for pineapples. I prefer FRESH over CANNED (Healthier, no preservatives, not imported from China, no High Fructose Corn Syrup) and this is the season for it. However, cutting a fresh pineapple is a bit of a PAIN. Not too bad, but for someone like me who doesn’t usually like [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear. Dare to wear horizontal stripes.
By Jane on March 25, 2011
Typically, they say horizontal stripes are unflattering, especially if you don’t want to look more WIDE than LONG. Of course, I’d rather look LONGER THAN WIDER but there are very few items left in my closet that can still double as maternity. Like this one. Remember, I’m trying to ride it out without having to purchase too [...]

Images taken from my yard… Spring is a time of renewal. Hence the reason why Persian New Year starts the first day of spring. The blossoms are already popping their heads out. Spring is on the way!!! There is so much beauty in nature. You just have to take the time to REALLY look. Nature [...]

Backtracking a bit to Benz’s 4-month doctor visit.
By Jane on October 27, 2011
Benz is now 5-months old but, since I’m so behind on blogging, let’s backtrack to his 4-month doctor visit. Dick is in town and wants to come with us to the Doctor’s office. Such twins, ey? So, like many things we do…it’s a family affair. Thelma even brought her school stuff along. Such good girls [...]

My post I just wrote on Co-sleeping was actually prompted by this very topic of babies sleeping through the night. I was trolling the web to find articles that discussed when is normal for babies to start sleeping through the night. I wanted to know if Benz was constantly waking up because he’s a breast-fed [...]

Man, do I love watermelon. Oh, and being lazy to spit out seeds, I prefer seedless. I’m so excited that watermelon season has started! I pretty much live off watermelon in the summer. That and corn on the cob! Looks like I tried to stash one under my dress no? (Which you may recognize. [...]

All Work and No Play??? NO WAY!!!
By Jane on August 31, 2009
We just had some tenants move out of one of our residential rental properties and so, it’s time for the cleaning crew to come in. By cleaning crew, I mean myself, Dick, and the girls. By doing it ourselves, we save big and the girls love a change of scenery. So, we pack our bags for a few days but since there’s nothing in the townhouse, so we also pack blankets, pillows, food and stuff to cook with (this helps cut down on expenses and time since we can just stay put and work). Yes, I’m a slave driver! No,

Just because I’m in my last trimester doesn’t mean the work stops. Besides loving to cut my grass, I wanna make sure I’m in shape to deliver this baby. Sometimes it’s a bumpy ride…hopefully this won’t put me into labor. Although I may use it as an alternative to be naturally induced. Ha! Yep, still [...]
