It’s taking me some time to get into my groove here…so hard to find the time to blog. All my time is spent in the car, stuck in traffic, getting from place to place.
It takes at least 45 minutes to get anywhere, even just driving 5 miles takes this long. Five miles in Metropolis takes me like 5-10 minutes. Insanity I tell you. Insanity.
Look at my poor kids, fast asleep because we were in the car so much.

By Jane on May 18, 2010
We had a scorching hot day the other day so we took the kids downtown to play in the water fountain. This is an interactive fountain that has POWERFUL geysers. So powerful that I’m told a kid sat on one of the geysers when it was at it’s most powerful and had his intestines all [...]

By Jane on March 29, 2011
It was time to get a new toilet seat cover for one of our toilets. The old one was still in great shape, except, there was a chip on the seat that made it look like poo was stuck to it. Every time I looked at it, it was my first thought too. But seriously, [...]

I wanted to do something a little different for a maternity shoot so I asked Lucy to help me out. Trashy preggar was the theme. I SQUEEZED myself into this tight little black, stretchy dress that has been in my closet for the last 15 years. Okay so my mom would DIE if she saw [...]

Stripe bass and pickerel for dinner!
By Jane on July 18, 2010
So we pan fried the striped bass, which tastes great with rice. The pickerel was steamed and topped off with a soy-ginger sauce and green onions. I understand now why the pickerel is so coveted. Talk about YUMMY! -Jane, Fish Lover.

From our window, we have a view of many of the high rises that make up Gotham City’s sky line. Since it’s been a while since I’ve stayed here, I noticed this new building basically just pop up in front of that taller building you see. Then I noticed those guys that basically look like [...]

KWICK KWOTE: Let’s Plant Some Flowers and Drink Some Wine
By Jane on April 4, 2010
Besides using the chalkboard paint in the girls room, I also used it on our pantry door…an ugly white eyesore. Originally when I thought to use the chalkboard paint, it was intended for this door. I wanted to be able to write grocery lists, our favorite wines list, maybe even homeschool while I’m cooking, writing [...]
