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 [...]

Kwik Kwote: Dude at the Country Bar. Does a fat baby’s fart stink?
By Jane on March 30, 2010
I totally forgot about a particular conversation that totally threw me off and gave me a damn good chuckle. DUDE 1: “Does a fat baby’s fart stink?” Me & my girls: “Umm…what?” (We’re all looking at eachother confused.) DUDE 1: “Does a FAT baby’s fart stink?” Me & my girls: “Uhhh….yeah…” DUDE 2: “Well of [...]

Louise gets sick on her Birthday. We make it up by going to Cracker Barrel.
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 [...]
Spending our last day walking around uptown.
By Jane on April 23, 2011
We wanted to spend our last day in Gotham City together with the kids. Our internal clocks seem to always be a few hours off from everyone else so as it was almost lunchtime for most people, we were only ready for breakfast. So, we walk uptown to this boutique hotel that has a restaurant next [...]

Thelma, being almost 10 and anti-pink/anti-girly, no longer plays with her Build-a-Bear. Well, that is, until recently, she discovered that the same clothes may fit her unsuspecting little brother. Little Benz sitting innocently and happily. Now look at him. He’s horrified. “Why sissy, why?!?!?” Not a happy camper. He no likey-likey. Then the other day, [...]

Amidst rumors of a threesome with a prostitute, Beckham suing mad and “charitable”. I smell a spin.
By Jane on September 29, 2010
So I was on Perez (surprise, surprise) and the most recent story is: “Money From Beckham Prostitute-Lawsuit Will Go To Charity” If you didn’t know, Becks, being the HAWTNESS that he is (and only when he DOESN’T speak), is recently rumored to have had a THREESOME with a PROSTITUTE (Irma Nici). Of course, he’s TOTALLY [...]

Biking out the bar was easy, it’s going home that is the challenge.
By Jane on May 27, 2010
AT WILD WINGS We finally made it to Wild Wings on the bikes and without any casualties. Yay. However, the ride home concerns me more than the ride to get here. One would think that one of the BEST benefits to biking is the health benefits. It’s not. While being HEALTHY is important and good, [...]

The family goes sledding with my snowboard.
By Jane on January 12, 2011
The girls really want to sled down our hill but all the sleds are sold out so, as a suggestion from my sister Lucy, we they try out using my snowboard as a sled. The three of them actually fit nicely. This hill is pretty steep and if you’re coming down from the top, it [...]

Tis the season for fresh squeezed OJ!
By Jane on December 23, 2010
Winter is the season for oranges!! This is the best and sweetest time of the year to enjoy oranges either by just eating them or having fresh squeezed OJ! It takes some effort to get every last drop so I recruit my dear Dick. What else are his fabulous muscles for? Meanwhile, I make us [...]

If you have not met Monk, you’re about to now. Dick gave Monk to Thelma a couple of years ago for Christmas. Bought from Justice Girls, she came hugging one of those comfy matching monkey flannel blankets. Monk is sassy and is one of the most traveled Monkey stuffed animals I know because Thelma just [...]

So now that you know our plans to have a natural child birth, you’ll understand our thought process when it came time. As I mentioned, when I hit 36 weeks my OB started to talk to me about the possibility of induction, even though she knew I really wanted to have a natural child birth. [...]

I lose Dick’s keys and make PROPER use of Lucy’s “Apology” note pad she gave me.
By Jane on April 22, 2010
All day I’ve been pressure washing the deck, putting away stuff in the shed, cleaning, blowing leaves off the roof of the house, planting flowers…and in between all that, I lost Dick’s keys. (Because I went to get gas for my machines and didn’t put the keys back where they belong.) RUMMAGING THROUGH TRASH SUCKS [...]
What do you do when your kids ask the ultimate question: Is Santa real?
By Jane on December 1, 2009
It is the inevitable question that every parent faces at some point or another. Louise is asking me AGAIN if Santa is real. The answer? Not so easy. Do you continue with your trickery so that your child can believe in the goodness that is Santa Claus? Or tell them the truth and hope there [...]

A little snow is not going to keep us from going out. It’s our 14-year anniversary!
By Jane on February 1, 2010
Yes, it’s been 14 years since our very first date and we go out to celebrate. Being that we had this “snow storm”, no one is out and many places are closed.

Your daily Benz: Sleeping Beauty.
By Jane on June 14, 2011
My little man is changing daily and I’m just barely keeping up with all the pictures. I love taking pictures of babies when they’re sleeping. There are so many facial expressions and positions…it just never gets old. And, depending on the angle the picture is taken, Benz can look so different in each picture. Sometimes [...]

Fashion Smashion: Fall Layers, Fuzzy Boots, and Safety Pins?
By Jane on October 6, 2009
Fanny Mae bought Thelma this super-cute sweater with white blouse underneath. Fall is all about layers. Thelma was so excited that it was cool enough to wear her new shirt on this day and pairs it nicely with some jeans. Fuzzy boots complimented with a super urban and chic messenger bag and you’re ready to [...]

Going to Lake Ontario to play cards, skip rocks, and float our boat.
By Jane on July 23, 2010
Queenie takes the gang and I to LAKESHORE. Lakeshore, I guess, is like the Santa Monica Blvd. of Toronto…kinda. It’s a long stretch of beaches, businesses, parks, and of course, the lake…Lake Ontario. Did I mention that Queenie has TERMINAL TACKY EYE? Yes, I’m making fun of my FABULOUS aunt’s fashion prowess. I love it though.It’s [...]

Trung Thu- Vietnamese Fall Moon Festival
By Jane on September 20, 2010
Every year, there is a Vietnamese tradition for the family where the kids get together and light up candle lanterns close to the full moon in celebration of the harvest. It’s called the Mid-Fall Moon Festival, which I thought was odd because officially, Fall isn’t even here yet. But, whatevs…Our community had one over the [...]

I have been DUPED!! So this is what crack is like.
By Jane on December 3, 2009
I recently ran out of my favorite mushroom seasoning that is an MSG substitute. Although MSG makes everything takes SUPER yummy, it’s been linked to cause cancer and is not good for you. I love this mushroom seasoning and put it in almost everything.
