Since Dick and I were arguing about making the bed, there was no time to make dinner. So, I just threw some pasta together…you can get all the exact ingredients (for the major stuff) in this recipe at TRADER JOE’S. We discovered this great tapenade pasta one day while shopping at Trader Joe’s where they [...]

Finally Jane sees a celebrity: Another Jane…Lynch from Glee at Urth Cafe.
By Jane on January 11, 2010
It’s our last day in LA and we had just spent the night at Lucy and Martha’s house. We wake up and decide to go to Urth Cafe AGAIN for breakfast. Yes, if they had one in Metropolis, I would be a regular there as well. Lucy, Martha and the girls head over there first [...]

So, I’m always bragging to Dick how I don’t have any gray hair and I make fun of Dick for having quite a few. Anyway, it doesn’t even matter for men because it makes them look “distinguished”. Hmmppphhh. But, Dick’s response is, “You see what you three girls do to me?”. And, he doesn’t buy [...]

Our tribute to Sunday Dim Sum Brunch
By Jane on October 4, 2009
We love to eat Dim Sum but there are no restaurants that have this in our area. So, I have the next best thing. Frozen dumplings. So, I whipped up these fried vegetarian leek gyoza for our Sunday “brunch”. It’s fast, you just follow the directions on the bag, and voila! Serve with some sauce [...]

Even though we planned on having Thelma’s birthday in LA, a last minute party was thrown together the night before we decided to have Thelma’s birthday. Hours before the party and I’m running around getting last minute items for the party. We had invited guests to come at 1:00 but we were NOT anywhere close to being ready [...]

I just realized while doing the Sunday United Crossword puzzle that “opinion” comes from “opine” – to think. Yes, slowly but surely… -Jane, Lifetime Student

Dear Santa. I hope you “egxist”.
By Jane on December 26, 2010
Louise is very inquisitive and very smart. She’s very logical and thinks in detail and again, this year I was posed with the question “Is Santa real?”. I was already faced with this question last year (Click HERE for that post.) Oh the dilemma! Again, I responded this year with “Well, I’m not sure honey. [...]

City girl with country soul: We visit my neighbor’s horses.
By Jane on January 17, 2010
We have a neighbor that has horses. Yes, I know, it may seem like I live all the way out in BFE (If you don’t know this acronym, Google it or something.) but remember, I can bike to Starbucks. So honestly, I get the best of all worlds…City-like living with the benefit of a lovely [...]

We attend our first mock swim meet.
By Jane on July 5, 2010
Our swim team had their first mock swim meet. Since we’ve never been on a swim team before, this was interesting to see and experience.I was amazed at how much work has to be done for a swim meet.

Guy banging on my door wants to cut down my beloved tree.
By Jane on February 8, 2010
Just had some loud ass guy bang on my door a million times like he wants to bust the door down. And, I hear him on the cell saying “yeah, i’m bangin on the door now”. Now if that don’t make a person paranoid. Listen, I don’t answer the door if I am not expecting [...]

Duncan Hines for this sweets junkie preggar.
By Jane on April 14, 2011
I don’t typically have a sweet tooth but pregnancy has changed all that. I’m craving sweets all the time and my girls are constantly ratting me out to my doctor and my friends. “Mommy eats a lot of sweets!” Sadly, I can’t really deny it. It’s true. We were at my parents house the other [...]

Life is extremely busy for us these days. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad but…it is what it is and we’re rolling with the punches. There’s never a dull moment, at least not for me. The girls may disagree but, whatever, kids are always complaining about being bored. Well, today was definitely not [...]

Dick’s new method of weight lifting.
By Jane on September 30, 2011
Here is my dear husband, using our lovely son to assist him in keeping his arms toned. And although I know that Benz is totally safe in Dick’s hands, this totally makes me nervous. I love that my husband doesn’t take himself seriously and can be stupid silly. Yes, you’re stupid silly. And cute too. [...]

Louise decided she wanted me to face paint for her birthday and so what does a Mom do but oblige. My dear friend, June, lends me her face painting kit…the same one we used for Halloween. And actually, I have some experience face painting from a few years ago where I used to do it [...]

As I may have mentioned, one of the great benefits of homeschooling is that you can take it on the road. This is one of the main reasons why we homeschool.

Being a great parent is when you let kids be kids and let them bring out the kid in you. Even if it means you must don girly cupcakes & hearts underwear on your head. He is quite the Dad isn’t he? I don’t know too many men who would let their kids put underwear [...]

Your daily Benz: Grandma knits Benz a blankie.
By Jane on June 24, 2011
My mom has been knitting a blanket for Benz. It’s super nice so I wanted to take some pictures of him with it while he’s still tiny, even though she wasn’t quite done with it. Little man has no eyebrows. This concerns Dick but I’m like, he’s Persian! I don’t think hair is one of [...]

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.

Besides being able to bike to one of the largest shopping strips around, we also have access to several neighborhoods that all connected and are great for biking. We take ALL the kids biking and luckily, I have enough bikes for us all. Everyone is riding their own bike except for Louise. She doesn’t feel [...]

World Cup Mania – so much more exiting than Football.
By Jane on July 11, 2010
As I said, soccer is HUGE all over the world, except in the US. Here is some footage of when Brazil was celebrating in the streets of Little Italy, Toronto for Round 16. The streets are full of revelers who are insanely huge fans of their team and take it to the streets to show [...]

A Persian man who will cook? Yes, I’m lucky…but only sometimes…
By Jane on October 20, 2009
In our house, red wine goes really well with cooking. Sometimes Dick will cook for us (excitement!) …when he’s craving Persian kabob that is. Therefore, every once in a while, I get the pleasure of having my hunka-hunka burnin’ love (Thanks Sharon O.) cook for me. Unfortunately, when Dick cooks…I still end up being an [...]
