The other day, on our way somewhere (I can’t remember where. The pregnancy amnesia never seemed to go away.), Louise was hassling me for some ice skates now that she is taking lessons. Before, she hardly ever wanted to go ice skating but now that I’ve been taking the time to help her, she’s gained a [...]

Trader Joe’s Italian Dinner in 30 minutes. Tapenade Pasta, Sardines, and Salad.
By Jane on February 19, 2010
Since Dick and I were arguing about making the bed, there was no time to make dinner. So, I just threw some pasta together…you can get all the exact ingredients (for the major stuff) in this recipe at TRADER JOE’S. We discovered this great tapenade pasta one day while shopping at Trader Joe’s where they [...]

Here comes the NEW GEEK SQUAD!
By Jane on April 25, 2010
We’re at BEST BUY and they, too, have gotten in on the CUSTOM BUGGY bandwagon. My kids love these cars and will snag one at every opportunity…even if we just need a couple of things that I can just as easily carry. However, Mommy gets suckered into pushing this heavy thing. I’m just wondering when they [...]

Your daily Benz: Sleeping Beauty.
By Jane on June 14, 2011
My little man is changing daily and I’m just barely keeping up with all the pictures. I love taking pictures of babies when they’re sleeping. There are so many facial expressions and positions…it just never gets old. And, depending on the angle the picture is taken, Benz can look so different in each picture. Sometimes [...]

Louise has been craving my turkey burgers since we haven’t had them in a while. It’s been too cold to grill so I’m just going to sear them on my stovetop. INGREDIENTS FOR THE BURGER: Ground turkey, buns, onion.

My dear sister, Lucy Lu, introduces me to OXYCLEAN and so I use to to get the TEA STAINS off my glasses. Another reason why I love Oxyclean? This is my kitchen hood vent, which was WAY OVERDUE for a replacement. However, given it’s unique, custom size, I’m too lazy to go look for one. [...]

Jane flips her shiz. Oh I could just kill a man.
By Jane on June 17, 2010
We left off with Dick, smirking. There are no pictures of the following events but I will try to illustrate for you when applicable. I’m trying to let go of everything but with no sleep for almost two days, I’m definitely not in the mood for further BUTTON PUSHING. and Dick knows exactly which buttons [...]

Santa Baby eats the steering wheel!
By Jane on December 19, 2011
Having a baby makes me super lazy to run into the store. It’s never a quick in and out. So, when the girls needed a couple of items for their homeschool co-op cooking class, I sent them in with some money and told them to get what they needed while Benz and I chill in [...]

We’re off to the pool to go winter swimming.
By Jane on January 5, 2010
It’s winter in LA and the weather fluctuates constantly. Even if it’s in the mid-60s or 70s, if you’re in the shade, it’s still kinda chilly. No, I’m not complaining…just sayin’. Today was a warm day, high 60s, and the kids are dying to go swimming. The pool is heated so I let them but this [...]

What do you do when your kids ask the ultimate question: Is Santa real?
By Jane on December 1, 2009
It is the inevitable question that every parent faces at some point or another. Louise is asking me AGAIN if Santa is real. The answer? Not so easy. Do you continue with your trickery so that your child can believe in the goodness that is Santa Claus? Or tell them the truth and hope there [...]

Flood warnings in Metropolis. We get pounded with rain!
By Jane on February 28, 2011
Lately the weather around Metropolis has been overcast and blah with bouts of heavy rain and wind. After being stuck in my house for a couple of days cause I’m not motivated to go anywhere when the weather is like that, I finally was forced to venture out because Louise had to go to Girls [...]

We find a rodent in the shed. Opossum or Rat?
By Jane on November 8, 2010
DISCLAIMER: To start, down here, we call OPPOSSUMS just POSSUM and all future reference to this rodent will be referred to as such. I just didn’t want to confuse those who don’t know this from the onset with the title. So I was in the shed getting some trimmers for the hedges when I spotted what I thought [...]

GOODWILL FINDS: A BMX girl’s bike for Thelma!
By Jane on April 28, 2010
About a week ago, Thelma told me she wanted her next bike to be a BMX. Girlfriend is way FIERCE. She LOVES to bike. After she said, it, I just kinda threw it in the back of my mind thinking it would be a WHILE before she got a BMX! Then, the other day while [...]

My two naked men. Super duper yummulicous. I just love these guys so muchy. Sometimes it’s just easier to give the baby a bath at the same time you’re showering. My back always hurts after bending over to give Benz a bath in his plastic bath tub thing. We used to do this with the [...]

By Jane on February 19, 2010
A couple of years ago I started “Family Arts and Crafts Time” for our family. I would go to the dollar store and buy something we could paint and then we would paint them at home one night as a fun family project. We have a few completed projects: The Birdhouse Series. The Seashell Series. [...]

Homeschooling at Starbucks. That’s right, Starbucks!
By Jane on September 17, 2009
Sometimes the kids need a change of environment when we homeschool so I decide to move the classroom to STARBUCKS. Yes, Starbucks….because when you homeschool, you can do that! We take our butts, our books, and our bikes out to the land of Java so that Mommy can also get her much needed caffeine.
