Fun with Jane & Dick

As you may know, the girls share a room and they also share a lounging type futon bed. We love that bed as it is quite comfortable. I also am a firm believer that making kids share a room makes them closer and teaches them to share early on. Lucy and I shared a room [...]

      “I don’t deny myself the things I want. I just want less, enjoy more, and I’m a much happier person. “   -Jane.

LIFE IS LIMITLESS Since leaving corporate America and not falling back on my degree and experience as an Engineer, I have found such creativity and freedom in that I’m still figuring out what I want to do “when I grow up”. Life is short. There are so many things that interest me, that I want [...]

So, it never fails. One minute my kitchen will be spotless, and the next thing I know, it looks like a TSUNAMI has hit it. I mean seriously, how many people live here? How long would it take you to clean all this???

Thelma was inspired to do a painting the other day. She found this extra piece of plywood I had in our shed and painted it white. Working on her masterpiece. Truly an artist at work. It’s almost like she’s doing a dance. Go on girl! Get that creativity out! -Jane, Mother of Artistic Thelma.  

Thelma is the ultimate Daddy’s girl. She worships her sweet daddy. I love and am super thankful that they have such a wonderful father. He definitely fills in all the voids where I’m lacking. Always patient and playful with the kids. They adore him. (Don’t be letting this get to your head honey.) -Jane, Wife [...]

I was taking my girls to karate when OUT OF NOWHERE, a bird flies right in front of my car! Now, I’m one of those that swerve and NEARLY KILL MYSELF to avoid hitting an animal but this poor thing didn’t even give me a chance. When I saw it dart out in front of [...]

After MIA leaves us to head to LA, it’s back to the grind for me. No more vacation. Luckily because we work for ourselves, we have the flexibilty to adjust our schedules to take time off. We still work during those times, just less. However, after the party, then there is plenty of work to [...]

Dick combed Carlton’s hair down to be funny. Thelma and I both agree that he looks like the Thin Man from the Charlie’s Angels Movie. Carlton is four and a half (can’t forget the half or he gets upset)  and SUPER PLAYFUL. Such a character.

We love tea and my mom knows how much I love tea sets. I have a small collection of different tea sets and so my mom had brought me back my favorite tea set yet! Now I had heard of this tea set from the time that they were in Vietnam because my sister was [...]

The girls noticed a pay phone the other day and commented: “Mommy look! You don’t see much of these anymore!” So true. With the advent of the cell phone, who needs a pay phone these days? Good riddens though. The earpiece on those things are nasty! The last time I used one was over ten [...]
