It has been a good year
Exactly one year ago, I was wrapping up an e.l.f. Makeup At Home party that Audrey and I hosted at our parents’ house. I had spent the previous week in NYC, going on job interviews as I prepared to move there. A few weeks prior, I had met a guy named Brian at a runners’ [...]
Ask Jane and Brian Anything: The Video
You asked, we answered! Yes, I was able to convince Brian to get on film with me to answer your questions. And yes, we sat way too close to the camera. So just ignore my dark roots (I’m seeing my hair stylist Tuesday!) and enjoy the video.
Ask Us Anything!
Yikes! I haven’t posted anything in two weeks. I knew it had been awhile, but it wasn’t until I received a few emails from people seeing what was up that I realized I should pop in and say hello! Things have been extraordinarily busy, which is a good thing, but sometimes when there is a [...]
Three years
I don’t remember his name. I don’t remember his face. I don’t remember what I said when he knocked on our door. I only vaguely remember talking to him the night before. I had called him on the way home from the emergency vet, where they had told us our Bismarck’s cancer had spread to [...]
The Blessing of the Fleet 10-miler race recap
Friday evening is not an ideal race time for landscapers. Before you finish up the day, you need to make sure everything is all set going into the weekend, and a lot depends on the weather, your equipment, your employees and your customers. You may be done at 5PM and you may be done at [...]
Testing out the Bergan ASPCA Pet Harness
This weekend, thanks to Collective Bias, I was able to try something that I’ve been meaning to try for awhile… a pet harness for the car. With 3 dogs, I hate the thought of them roaming around in the back of the car, especially if I have to stop short. Tansy tried out the Bergan [...]
Why I blog
When I started blogging back in January 2007, my life was decidedly different than it is now. I lived in a different city, in a house I owned. I was married with two dogs, Ryder and Bismarck. (Bismarck would pass away that July.) I did not yet have my dog Seth. (Seth would come into [...]
Amica Ironman 70.3 Providence Race Recap
When my alarm clock went off at 3:30AM Sunday morning, a few things crossed my mind: 1) Why didn’t I go to bed earlier the night before? 2) Just five more minutes… I’ll even take two! 3) Really? I SIGNED UP for this? Willingly? I’m talking, of course, about the Amica Ironman 70.3 Providence triathlon [...]
Making the Dog Days of Summer Safe Ones
A friend of mine once told me that on hot days, her grandmother would say, “If you’re looking for the coolest spot in the house, follow the dog.” I’ve found that that’s a true statement most of the time… I say most of the time because sometimes, on the hottest, sunniest days, my dog Seth [...]

We’re T-minus 2 weeks until Ironman 70.3 Rhode Island. I’m hoping that if I tell myself I’m ready often enough, it will be true. You’re ready, Jane. You’re ready. You’re. Ready. This is a race I competed in last year. It was actually an amazing experience for me. But I also went into it with [...]
