Dick’s family just recently relocated to LA from Germany. If you’ve ever seen the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Dick’s family kinda reminds me of that. They are bold, not shy to speak their mind, always talking and talking loudly, always having a great time laughing and dancing, and eating.

Pier 1 Fun Lucy and Fanny Mae.
By Jane on September 16, 2010
I love Pier 1. I love all the accessories there. Here are some pics of us browsing around. Comfy Oscar? I would be too! Blinged out EYELASH CURLERS! Really??? I used to use eyelash curlers but I’m so afraid I’m going to rip them ALL out that I only wear mascara now. Plus they curl [...]

Yes, I sometimes take pics of ROADKILL. Remember the other skunk and possum? This one is not as graphic. Poor thing looked so cute. Didn’t smell as cute though. Please use Pepe as a reminder that life is not guaranteed and anything can happen in the split of a second. Now go out and live [...]

Sleepover time. Dark chocolate fudge mini-brownies included.
By Jane on June 13, 2010
Thelma starts to feel better after resting most of the day and assures me she feeling fine and wants to see her friends. Of course, I guess when it involves seeing friends, they always say they are “okay”. However, she DID actually look better. Maybe it was just a stomach bug after all. The girl’s [...]

Tooth Fairy makes multiple stops???
By Jane on August 7, 2010
Louise asked me the other day… “Mommy, does the Tooth Fairy really exist or is it just you and daddy sticking money under my pillow.” Gasp! Like the SANTA question, I didn’t know how to respond so I did the same thing when asked about Santa. “Do YOU think the Tooth Fairy is real?” “Well, I [...]

Trying to cool off my temper. Take the kids to a fantastic park walking distance from our house.
By Jane on June 17, 2010
After I show the house, the sun has gone down and the weather is tolerable. The girls and I decide to walk to the park. This is the only smile I’m going to be able to muster today and it’s only because I’m with the girls and Dick is not around! THE PARK Our house [...]

Wanting a NATURAL child birth and research on the risks/side effects of inductions.

Before I get to our birthing story, some background as to how we wanted to see this birth through. MY FIRST TWO PREGNANCIES Being pregnant nearly eight years after my last child and ten since the birth of my first…it was like starting over again. However, this time around I feel a little old and [...]

Fall flowers for your blah day…
By Jane on October 10, 2009
There’s still some flowers around even though it’s fall. Enjoy. A SHADE OF RED. Dahlia. Still alive with blossoms. A SHADE OF GREEN. Pink Chrysanthamums. These are perrenials, which for those who lack the green thumb, means they come back every year by themselves. In fact, they multiply like mad and have taken over my [...]

Racing up escalators turns to injury…for Jane.
By Jane on August 4, 2010
After spending a few days in Metropolis, it was time for my cousin to head to her next destination, Los Angeles, to see my sister Lucy Lu. Spending the last couple weeks with MIA has been so super fun and it never seems like enough time when I’m with family. Every time my family leaves [...]

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 [...]

Here’s a Valentine’s card that Dick sent me in 1999 when I was living in Detroit. In case you can’t read Dick’s wonderful handwriting: “This is for you & Barfi (our dog). You guys are the best, especially you, only you, always only you. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Yes, he can be quite a sweetie. Hope [...]

I love going to garage sales when I can find the time. It’s true. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. To me, if I can find something I love and need cheaper than if I were to buy it new, it’s even more valuable! It just so happens that Fanny Mae’s neighbor is having [...]

The Lexus is in need of new tires but I don’t want to buy brand new tires for a car I don’t plan to keep. Dick then remembers the place he would go to for tires back when I was in college….Reasonable Ron’s. Ron’s is on the “other” side of town and Dick described it as being run by a bunch of “biker dudes”.
Jane’s Maternity Wear: Planned Parenthood.
By Jane on January 7, 2011
My sister Lucy came across this shirt and thought it to be PERFECT for me since it describes us oh so well. Planned Parenthood. That’s us! This is not a maternity shirt. She just bought it in a large. Looks and fits like Maternity though! James Perse makes the most comfortable, supersoft Tees. Although he [...]

Family Arts and Crafts: The flower series.
By Jane on February 19, 2010
A couple of years ago I started “Family Arts and Crafts Time” for our family. I would go to the dollar store and buy something we could paint and then we would paint them at home one night as a fun family project. We have a few completed projects: The Birdhouse Series. The Seashell Series. [...]

Your daily Benz: Notorious B(enz).I.G.
By Jane on August 12, 2011
Sweet Benz was chillaxing in the pool in a floating device that my friend showed me he had for his baby. I got it at Target for $20 and it even has a cover that snaps in to shade him but I haven’t used it yet. We decided we needed a floaty because holding [...]

Jane: Wanted woman by the cops?
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 [...]

A Chill Sunday. Dim sum, driving around, the park, and walking around.
By Jane on December 6, 2010
Our Sunday in Gotham City started off with a great Dim Sum brunch.We love Dim Sum and since we can’t get any in Metropolis, we look forward to it whenever we’re here. Afterward we got our fill of the scrumptious dumplings , we decided to drive around to some of the older, charming neighborhoods that Gotham [...]
