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 [...]

By Jane on December 29, 2009
Thelma is missing good ole southern grits so we decide to go get some. She also wants some alone time with me at the Starbucks. I get ready and we’re off. She wants to sit up front and because it’s close, I let her. As we’re pulling out, I see a cop car with a [...]

Road tripping with my THREE kids: Benz’s first trip to Gotham City.
By Jane on August 22, 2011
We had one of our rentals empty out so it was time for me to head to Gotham City again and take care of business. Remember, by cleaning crew…I’m referring to myself. The last time we were in Gotham City was during my pregnancy and I had seen our Art Lounge for the first time [...]

By Jane on August 17, 2010
Dick’s “member” has now ceased swelling and is looking more normal. Except, there is now a THIRD ball. Jes, a turd ball! (That was for my dear sis. She can appreciate the humor in it.) After doing a lot of research online, Dick thinks it could be a blood clot. My entire family now knows [...]

Oink Oink. We have been plagued with the Swine Flu. :(
By Jane on September 25, 2009
You never think it’s going to happen to you, until well, IT DOES. Also known as H1N1, flu from pigs is what it is. Sounds disgusting huh? Now it’s spreading from human to human. Google Health says the following about Swine Flu: Swine influenza is flu virus usually found in pigs. The virus [...]
Green Tea, Apple Cinnamon Cake & Art Time
By Jane on November 7, 2009
The girls recently came across a drawing book that I had when I was a kid, saved by my dear Mom (she keeps EVERYTHING). Inspired, they wanted to learn how to draw like Mommy. I told them it just takes practice and explained some basics. Try not to draw from memory (which usually turns out [...]

Auntie and Niece…turban towel twins. Brusha, brusha, brusha!
By Jane on December 6, 2011
Lucy and Louise, after both just showered. Zay are turban towel tweenz! From when they were little girls, Thelma and Louise would always see Lucy and I with towels wrapped around our heads after a shower. But, when they were smaller, the towel would be too heavy for their little heads to hold. Their bobble [...]

However, I still had the MOST FABULOUS low key day…which was much needed. The day was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous…75F and sunny! My girlfriends came over, [...]

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 [...]

With my sister-in-law in town, what else do we do but have COFFEE. And although I go to Starbucks for my me-time and don’t like to bring the kids, Benz is still a baby and mostly sleeps. Plus, Dick would be in a panic if Benz started to cry. He would call me or text [...]

Our homeschool co-op encourages and allows kids to explore their inner creativity. On this day, the middle schoolers used their hands, literally & physically, to create art. Swan head. Awesome! Snake with open mouth and fangs protruding. Siamese twins is what I believe this student told me this was. Writing with a piece of chalk. [...]

Osho on Love: Stop looking for that PERFECT man or woman. They don’t exist!
By Jane on February 9, 2011
I’m reading another Osho book in tandem with my Everyday Osho. It’s called Being in Love. I’m already in love but I still wanted to read this book since I bought it about two years ago and haven’t gotten around to reading it. Plus, it’s not just about loving a mate but being loving in general. [...]

Thelma was inspired to do a painting the other day. She found this extra piece of plywood I had in our shed and painted it white. Working on her masterpiece. Truly an artist at work. It’s almost like she’s doing a dance. Go on girl! Get that creativity out! -Jane, Mother of Artistic Thelma.
