Every year, my dad is the one that makes our turkey for Thanksgiving. He is, afterall, THE CHEF in our house. This year, Louise was craving the potato dish that Lucy made last year, Cornflake potato casserole…kind of like Au Gratin. Except, this year, she used a different recipe. AND, because she left the cheese [...]

The girls make sweet potato casserole and apple pie!
The girls wanted to help cook this year. Louise wanted to make the Sweet Potato Casserole. And Thelma was making an apple pie for my girl June Cleaver and her kids. Thelma and Louise learned how to make apple pie in their co-op cooking class. Louise was then done with her sweet potato casserole so she [...]
The MADNESS that is Black Friday at 2:30 in the morning!!
I’ve never been to any BLACK FRIDAY event. Normally, it starts at 5-6AM and I’m just not inclined at that hour to awake from my REM sleep to go and stand in a long-ass line, out in the cold, push and shove, and run around like a madwoman to try to get a few deals. [...]
Confuchsia cooks me some soul food!
Confuchsia brought her kids over to my house the other day so that the kids could play and the adults can hang. Much to my surprise, when she came over, Confuchsia said… “I’m gonna cook for you today. You just relax and hangout and I’m gonna make you some REAL SOUL FOOD.” I was so [...]
Confuchsia says…
Let me tell you about my girl Confuchsia. Similar to Confuscius but it’s ConFuchsia, like fuchsia, the magenta color. Who even knew that fuchsia was even spelled like that?!?!? I’ve been getting it wrong all this time! Confuchsia and I clicked right off the bat. What I like about her is that Confuchsia speaks her mind and she [...]
Jane Tweeting.
Sorry for the sparse blogs. I’m not quite sure but I think having a third child is taking up all my time. Blogging seems to have taken a back seat to enjoying time with my new son, kids, husband and and taking care of our daily meals, clean-up, homeschooling, businesses, and Starbucks. With everything going [...]
Your Daily Benz: Benz and his new AMERICAN GIRLfriend.
Benz was recently introduced to Thelma’s AMERICAN GIRLfriend. Benz instantly took a liking to her. Aren’t they so cute together? As with most “men” his age, he shows affection by pulling her hair. Soon though, things started to get serious and Benz was smitten. In the end, he was kissing her feet!! Whoa boy! Take [...]
Confuscia says…
So while I was hanging with my girl having coffee, her “man friend” calls. “Man friend” was asking her what she was doing. Confuscia says…(matter-of-factly) “We hangin’ out here at the Starbucks lookin’ like a million bucks.” LOL. -Jane, Friend to Confuscia.
Accidental texting could be dangerous. Jane falls victim!
It’s a beautiful, sunny fall day outside where the weather is a warm 65F. It’s coffee time and I am meeting up with my girls June and Confuscia at Starbucks. Since my Dad was supposed to be home, I was going to run by and drop off Benz so they could hang out. But, when [...]
Hammock time with the kids.
Since it’s so nice outside these days, it’s HAMMER HAMMOCK time! Fall weather is perfect for hanging out on the hammock. It’s not hot or humid and there are no mosquitos buzzing around, ready to suck your blood dry. Seriously, five minutes in the summer and I’ve got 10 mosquito bites. People will say, “Oh, it’s [...]
