It’s Tricky to rock a rhyme
To rock a rhyme
That’s right on time
It’s Tricky.
Tricky.
Tricky.
Tricky!
Well, on that note, you might as well enjoy the original version.
Here’s a blast from the past, when rap used to be SUPER INNOCENT!
RUN DMC’s – It’s Tricky!

LANDLORDS BEWARE: Craigslist scam targeting landlords.
By Jane on August 11, 2010
I get SO MANY of these e-mails where someone PRETENDS to be interested in an ad that I’ve posted to rent one of my properties. I’ve compiled a list of typical things a scammer will tell you in their email. CRAIGSLIST RENTAL SCAM CHECKLIST: Usually, they are some kind of FOREIGNER who writes in somewhat [...]

All Work and No Play??? NO WAY!!!
By Jane on August 31, 2009
We just had some tenants move out of one of our residential rental properties and so, it’s time for the cleaning crew to come in. By cleaning crew, I mean myself, Dick, and the girls. By doing it ourselves, we save big and the girls love a change of scenery. So, we pack our bags for a few days but since there’s nothing in the townhouse, so we also pack blankets, pillows, food and stuff to cook with (this helps cut down on expenses and time since we can just stay put and work). Yes, I’m a slave driver! No,

Your daily Benz: Sleeping with Mommy and Daddy.
By Jane on June 23, 2011
Because I’m the Mommy AND the photographer, I am doubly doomed not to get any pictures of me with the baby or me with my family at all for that matter…even though I am the one person who currently spends the most time with the baby. However, I’m torn because even though I want to [...]

ODE: For Intelligent Optimists. My new favorite magazine.
By Jane on September 13, 2010
The other day, I biked out to Starbucks for some ME-TIME and was reading my book, Learning from Salmon, and my new favorite magazine…introduced to me by my dear DICK. “You’re so lucky to have me. See how I expand your mind and make you so much smarter?” Ugh. He makes it so difficult for [...]

My kids have a few jokes to tell.
By Jane on October 1, 2010
Thelma is often telling us jokes that she made up herself. Most times, we have to think about it for a second and then still, she’ll have to explain it to us. Leaving us thinking…hmmmmm. However, it’s usually funny to us because well, (1) we’re her parents and (2) just the innocence of her train [...]

Dick, as usual, is always trying to get out of having to change a diaper but he loves to hog the baby. After hogging the baby one day, he comes running to me saying, “Baby wants Mommy!” and darts off to go back outside where he was working out. I’m thinking Benz is wanting BOOBIE [...]

Dear Santa. I hope you “egxist”.
By Jane on December 26, 2010
Louise is very inquisitive and very smart. She’s very logical and thinks in detail and again, this year I was posed with the question “Is Santa real?”. I was already faced with this question last year (Click HERE for that post.) Oh the dilemma! Again, I responded this year with “Well, I’m not sure honey. [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear: Not ready to wear Maternity clothes? Get a belly band!
By Jane on January 23, 2011
I’m about five months along now and am trying to squeeze into the last bit of regular clothes that I can. Depending on the angle, and if I’ve just eaten or not, my bump isn’t that huge yet. So, in order to wear non-maternity clothes, I’m looking through my closet for shirts that fit bigger [...]

Simple, quick snack for the Lazy Parent: Bread, oil & vinegar.
By Jane on February 15, 2011
If you’re looking for an easy quick snack for the kids? How about some bread, oil and vinegar? Just toast up your favorite whole grain bread (baguette’s are great too!). On a separate plate, put Extra Virgin Olive Oil, your favorite Balsamic Vinegar, some salt and pepper and you’re good to go! I love this [...]

Aunty Lucy lugs a birthday cake for Louise all the way from LA!
By Jane on March 14, 2011
Being the loving and totally awesome Auntie that Lucy is, Lucy decides to order a cake in LA and from the same place we had bought a cake for Thelma’s 8th birthday that we celebrated in LA. Louise had decided on using a “Hippie Chick” party theme from Party City…so Lucy used the invitation as inspiration [...]

I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend. I know, I’ve been slacking at blogging but me SEESTER was in town. We just chilled and relaxed the whole weekend with the family…very low key. Sometimes, that’s just what one needs. Of course, now comes all the work. -Jane. Chilled and Relaxed.

SOME people just can’t follow the RULES.
By Jane on April 14, 2010
You see the sign? KEEP OFF ROCKS. ALL of those people must have just missed it when they stepped over the chain and walked right passed the sign, onto the ROCKS. Later I realize that “ALL” those people were my friend, JUNE CLEAVER (pink hat), fishing with her family! GOTCHA! June, don’t you know they [...]

A friend of mine sent me this forward and I found it amusing. Yes, it doesn’t take much to amuse me. This is a Chinese Eye Test. Can’t read it? Try pulling your eyes out to the sides, as if you were Chinese. It’s a good thing I have good vision. -Jane, 20/20 Vision Woman

Two of my favorite things and in combination: Louise Skipping and Cherry Blossoms.
By Jane on April 9, 2010
Louise and I were admiring our CHERRY TREE that is in FULL BLOSSOM. We thought we would enjoy it a bit since this will probably only last a few days. We’re sporting the ballet dress for class but turns out class was cancelled due to SPRING BREAK. SKIP, SKIP, SKIP TO MY LOU! Watching Louise [...]

From FRUMPY to SEXY black dress.
By Jane on January 29, 2010
So, as I mentioned, this is the year for organization in our house. I’m tired of just storing all this stuff when someone else can probably make better use of it. We’re still clearing out our closet and getting rid of stuff we don’t wear anymore. (Remember I had already started clearing out stuff before [...]

HORSE DUNG launched at police during G20 Protests. Ew!
By Jane on July 12, 2010
Great view but nothing really exciting on the roof, so us Chicas continue on. We walk a little further and see some people standing around in the distance. The owner of this orange sports car has some balls parking so close to the protests. He’s the only car in the lot. More police standing around [...]

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 [...]

Lucy shows me, repeatedly, how “smart” Oscar is.
By Jane on August 16, 2011
Naturally, while Lucy was in town, we went to have us some coffee at the Starbucks. The kids had asked to see if they could come and, after having taken them the day before, I said, “No! No kids today!” Plus, its three times more expensive when I take them and I have to reserve [...]

MUSHED AND STRANDED on the Interstate: The first time I ever ran out of gas.
By Jane on January 25, 2011
The first time I ever ran out of gas was 11 years ago when I was living in Toronto. I was on my way to work at the Ford F150 plant and out of nowhere, my car starts to slow down on the QEW (An interstate in Toronto). At the time, I owned a brand [...]
