My sleeping beauties… I can’t believe how grown they are. Just the sweetest things in the world. I adore these girls. Such a difference from when Thelma was 18 months and Louise was just born. Louise was literally 3-4 days old. It’s true what they say…kids grow too fast. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years. [...]

Hanging with our besties at the pool.
We brave the weather and head to the pool with our besties despite it being a stormy, rainy day. June Cleaver and her kids come hang with us for a few hours. And here’s Fanny Mae, hanging with Benz as usual. And actually, without the sun, we don’t have to worry [...]
Louise is determined to complete her Summer Reading Book Club.
You may remember last year when the girls were reading up a storm to claim their prize for the summer reading book club. Well, this year they were a little less motivated since they already knew what the prize was…a booklet that had freebies like a free ice cream, free tickets to our Ladies Soccer [...]
Jane’s iPhone and Instagram pics. Yes, I caved and got an iPhone!
I’ve caved in an replaced my SHITTY HTC Freestyle with an iPhone. Yes, I know I said I refused o be forced into getting a smartphone but I realized after all the many troubles that I had with the Freestyle, that I would need a smartphone…and really, the only one I think suits me is [...]
What to do with a bad watermelon? Juice it!
You know how much I love watermelon in the summer, well, it’s always super disappointing when I get one that is mushy, powdery, pink (instead of red) and not sweet…like this one. Oh the disappointment!!! Of course, when shopping for watermelons, I always do that thumping thing that I see everyone else do…but seriously, I [...]
Dick: Dope seeds and baby drool.
Because we don’t subscribe to any TV at our house, we go to my parent’s any time we need to get our fill of TV. This time, it was for the Women’s World Cup…Japan vs. US! It was such an exciting game and so nice to enjoy it with my whole family of 5 sitting [...]
Starbucks Moment: Mommy needs her ME-TIME!!
This Jane is in need of some serious ME-TIME. I’m not the kind of person that can’t be alone. I love my time ALONE. Some people feel like losers sitting alone at a table. I know I used to. Especially if you’re in high school and you’re sitting somewhere alone…you’re a loser. No, these days, [...]
Skeletoes, finger toe shoes…the new Crocs?
The girls and I were shoe shopping for some sneakers for Thelma and flipflops for Louise and came across the new, trendy Skeletoes made by Fila. If you have not seen these things, they are like finger socks for your feet except they are shoes! I first came across these when I saw them on [...]
Your daily Benz: Planking baby.
Planking is this new crazy trend where people will lay stiff like a board (plank) and take pictures of it in random places. It’s all the rage and the new “cool” thing to do on Facebook. Plank and post to FB. Planking baby Benz!! For my friend who loves to plank. “Mommy why do you [...]
The usual mountains, with exception of the snake.
With Lucy in town and it being the 4th of July weekend, we also decided to go back to the mountains for yet another day of chillaxin’ in the mountains. Are you getting bored of my stories yet? Are you starting to see a pattern in our simple lives? Nearly every summer for the past [...]
