Fun with Jane & Dick

Every year since I was a kid, we go the mountains during the summer for some FAMILY FUN. Our tradition is that we go to the same spot, pack lunch and just CHILL. My parents, Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, usually go with us and they always have the MOST FABULOUS lunch ready for us. [...]

It’s very easy to eat out in LA because you spend all your time in the car, there is no time to cook! So, you’re going to see a lot of posts about food. Today, the girls are going to see Lomax with their Auntie Lucy at the Grove while Dick and I grab something [...]

With having had a new baby, I decided we would take it easy over the summer and so only one sport…SWIMMING. And although last year was our first year on the swim team, we missed quite a few practices due to the burn that Thelma got but we also took time off to go to [...]

We had spent our first night at Mr. Bean’s house so the kids could play. The next day, it was time to get to work on our rental property. The first thing we always do when we stay at one of our properties is give it a good cleaning. I don’t like to stay where other [...]

Thankfully, Thelma and Louise got to see some snow today. They were starting to think it didn’t exist. Metropolis doesn’t snow often but it used to. Growing up, I remember the snow coming up to my knees…albeit, my knees were closer to the ground then. Still, we got snow and it was always SUPER exciting [...]

I’m so behind on blogging. Benz is now 5 months and I’ve still got stuff to write about that happened a month ago. Pregnancy and having children contribute greatly to my rapidly disappearing brain cells, whereby the count is drastically depleted with each additional child. That and, of course, aging. Pregnancy amnesia doesn’t go away [...]

No, I’m not saying I’m HAWT. I’m HOT! It’s freaking 90F+ with 1000% humidity. Ok, not really, but that’s what it feels like. Getting into my car is like walking into a sauna. Even my sunglasses fog up. Having leather seats is nice except in the summer, my ass gets sizzled like fried eggs. Yes, [...]
