You may or may not know that I am the one who takes care of the yard work in our family. Yes, I’m the “yard boy” or if you live out in California, I’m the “gardener”. Either way, I mow the grass, weedwack, edge, and leaf blow. It takes me about 2.5 hours to do my 1+ acre yard the way I like it. Yes, I’m anal about the yard. I like it to look neat and pristine, hence I do not let Dick cut the grass…not that he would volunteer to do it anyway.

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 [...]

Laundry, laundry…and more laundry!
By Jane on October 4, 2009
Um, seriously? I can’t seem to ever catch up on laundry. One would think that I would be super-anal about laundry but the exact opposite is actually true. I don’t sort whites and colors. I mix in the linens with the clothes. I try to cram as much into the machine as I possible can. [...]

Brussel Sprouts: Love em or Leave em?
By Jane on April 29, 2010
Whenever people talk about kids not wanting to eat their veggies, somehow Brussel Sprouts come to mind. The girls and I were reading about why it’s good it eat veggies that are in season and why they are good for you. It is good for you to eat vegetables that are in season because you [...]

The girls had so much fun on the roof that they begged Dick to take them up on our tree stump. This large oak tree feel down a few years ago when we had a thunderstorm. I was very sad to lose my tree but was super glad that it fell away from my house [...]

A great natural substitute for your eye make-up remover.
By Jane on September 12, 2011
Whenever I get out of the shower or pool, and because I don’t use waterproof mascara, I look like a scary mess. My kids tell me all the time, “Mommy, you look scary today.” Thank you dahling! That’s me, Scary-Mary Jane. Mascara doesn’t come off very well, even when you use soap. You have to [...]

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 [...]

Grocery shopping with a baby carrier.
By Jane on July 6, 2011
I had forgotten how going grocery shopping with a baby carrier leaves no room for actual groceries. You in there Benz??? I could use a baby carrier, as I’ve seen some women do, but the baby is asleep and I don’t want to wake him. I know I’m always talking about eating healthy but it [...]

Preggar Sweets Junkie: Krispy Kreme
By Jane on April 27, 2011
The girls’ best friend, Kristin Stewart, came over the other day to play. We had gone to sign them up for a summer camp together for a couple of weeks this summer. It was a crazy, blistering, unseasonably cold day that day. I made sure I asked the girls to bring sweaters but they refused [...]

Tiger Woods teacher holds press conference. Another FAME WHORE seeking their 15 minutes.
By Jane on April 3, 2010
Tiger’s former GRADE SCHOOL teacher gave a press conference the other day and is demanding an apology. Woman, you need to get off your high horse and stop trying to cash in on your 15 MINUTES OF FAME!
