This is the time of the year when my mom and I go look at flowers and plants. My mom loves to garden. So, we go visit one of the local nurseries here that is just beautiful!

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. [...]

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.

Crazy Clothes Day at our Homeschool Co-op
By Jane on February 11, 2010
Our Homeschool Co-op always has fun things that we do. This time, it’s crazy clothes day. One day, Louise comes over to me and tells me that crazy clothes day is coming up and she can’t think of anything to wear. She complains that she never wins any of the fun day competitions. I tell [...]

Pets: Kids just want to care for something of their own.
By Jane on September 29, 2009
For some reason, kids just have this inherent need to have pets. They just want to take care of something and call it their own. Like most kids, my kids wanted to be the parents of their own puppy. Fanny Mae had bought an adorable little Pekingnese for herself, so when my mom brought the [...]

Back in the land of the communicable…for now…
By Jane on October 24, 2009
After having had my iMac (Time to give it a name…Qwerty) held hostage for the last couple of days, and nearly dying because I thought the Geek Squad was going to continue to hold Qwerty hostage until the end of next week, I now have my iMac back and can breath again. Initially they thought [...]

Babies and Doggies…Benz and Oscar’s forced photo shoot.
By Jane on September 26, 2011
One day Auntie Lucy was spending some time with her nephew Benz. Benz was quite happy and content to just hang with Auntie. However Aunt Lucy got this “brilliant” idea to try to take a picture of my baby with her baby. (Hmmm…Does that make them “cousins”?) She thought, what a great picture it would [...]

By Jane on March 15, 2010
Dick has been reading up on the benefits of WHEATGRASS and has been wanting to grow some at home. WHAT MAKES WHEATGRASS SO HEALTHY?

Shockingly, I come to the sunny state of California to cold and rain. Cold doesn’t really mean cold. It means, cold for LA…which is only mild spring-like weather for everyone else. Today was cloudy with occassional rain, and totally blah blah blah. It feels like April showers weather and is around the same temperature. High is around 60F [...]

Introducing color #3: I stray from the brochure and go HOT.
By Jane on March 8, 2010
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 [...]

Salade Olivieh: Persian Chicken/Egg/Potato Salad. YUM!
By Jane on September 26, 2009
I know it’s weird to be learning how to cook Persian food from a Vietnamese woman. But, I’ve seen the Persian recipes out there, and there are NO PICTURES! So, for those young Persians who don’t know how to cook or for those who just want to try some Persian yumminess, here is a picture-filled [...]

Strawberry-Banana Smoothies: by Thelma & Louise
By Jane on September 17, 2009
Thelma and Louise love drinking smoothies. This is because Dick makes it for them all the time….some kind of concoction of mushed banana and soymilk. Smoothies and shakes aren’t really my thing but every once in a blue moon maybe. In the mornings, I’m thankful that the girls are self-serving and are able to [...]

Don’t have a scale at home? Weigh your baby at Walmart.
By Jane on September 16, 2011
We were at Walmart getting a few things when Dick saw a scale and decided he would see how much Benz weighed. Yeah, at Walmart…in the grocery department. Babies have a 1-month and 2-month check-ups where we usually find out how much they weigh, how big their head has gotten and how long they are. [...]

Louise not feeling well. A LAZY DAY is just the cure.
By Jane on April 8, 2010
Louise was not feeling well at all the other day, can you tell? Girlfriend had a cough and stomach ache. Since it was a co-op day, Thelma went to class while Louise just rested at home. Most of the day Louise spent in bed. However, it was such a beautiful day, too beautiful to let go to [...]

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 [...]

I sent my blog link to all my family and my lovely Mom, Fanny Mae, didn’t seem amused by it. Why? She asked me, with some hesitation, “Is it ok for you to use words like ‘fucking’… in public… like in a blog?’”. I just had to laugh, respectfully of course. My mom is [...]

How to get a perfect soft boiled egg.
By Jane on October 13, 2010
If you are not a fan of hard boiled eggs, you should try soft boiled eggs. A soft boiled egg is an egg that is boiled only to the point that the white is fully cooked but the yolk is still liquid and tasty. Over the weekend, on a fresh beautiful morning, I made Dick [...]

Pregnancy Craving for TCBY causes Jane to nearly open a can of WHOOP ASS on Dick.
By Jane on March 22, 2011
I was out running errands with Dick the other day when I spot a TCBY. What joy! I’m ECSTATIC because the one by my house has closed down since the sprouting of newer, trendier frozen yogurt shops like Menchi’s. Menchi’s is okay but this Jane loves me some TCBY and prefers it. Guess that’s why [...]

Caught in the rain, in the convertible!
By Jane on September 23, 2010
Towards the end of summer, we were at the pool for one of our final times to enjoy it while it was still open. We were only there for about 30 minutes when the dark clouds start rolling in. Still savoring the moment, the girls and Dick were enjoying their peaches. Not sure why she [...]
