I had this idea to let my Mom’s new Pekingese (Yuki) mate with Oscar because I thought they would make cute babies. Lucy is up for it but reminds me that it might be difficult since Oscar only has one ball. Yes, one ball. No matter, we’re going to give it a try. Apparently though, [...]

No TV = Creativity = Louise: Taxi Driver
By Jane on August 31, 2010
I’m not sure if you remember but we don’t have any TV channels, not even the basics. We have TVs and we’ll rent movies or watch whatever we have, but I cut the TV a while ago. The girls were watching it all day. Dick would get sucked in as well and I almost never [...]

Thelma found a branch the other day. She liked it so much, she wanted to take it home. I didn’t realize she had a plan for it.

Venturing out to the grocery store in the snow.
By Jane on January 6, 2011
We needed a few things from the grocery store, anticipating that we might get snowed in. With the way the snow was coming down, it was a possibility. Dick wanted to take the Caddie. He loves that car. Louise volunteers to dust off the snow on the car. The drive out of our neighborhood. Of [...]

Miso soup is one of our family’s favorite soup to eat and we always order it when we eat sushi. It’s super healthy, super good, and super easy to make. This is a fast soup to make. Once the water boils, it’s just a matter of adding the ingredients and serving. No waiting for it [...]

Our homeschool co-op encourages and allows kids to explore their inner creativity. On this day, the middle schoolers used their hands, literally & physically, to create art. Swan head. Awesome! Snake with open mouth and fangs protruding. Siamese twins is what I believe this student told me this was. Writing with a piece of chalk. [...]

By Jane on October 14, 2009
You remember the chrysanthemums that were taking over my sidewalk? Well, I cut some of them and used them to decorate inside. Fresh flowers are the best!

No way you are throwing away those beautiful orchids…
By Jane on February 11, 2010
I was walking around one of my favorite super markets and I see this lady ripping off all these beautiful stems with these gorgeous orchid blossoms that still looked fresh. Not being one who is shy to ask, I asked her if she was going to throw them away. She was and asked if I [...]

June is in the midst of making some of her super yummy Chicken Bacon Chowder and Cheddar Biscuits. Also here is Confuscia, a dear friend that I met through Benz [...]

Gifts for the girls from their private art teacher.
By Jane on December 10, 2009
My girls take Private Art Classes weekly from an extremely talented artist. Magda is a dear friend and we are so lucky to have her in our lives. She has taught the girls so much about art, all the technical stuff that I have forgotten.

As you can see, we’ve been through quite a few hairstyles. I can’t believe how much she’s grown. Almost makes me sad to see how fast time flies. I love you so much sweet thang. -Jane, Mother of Lovely Thelma.

In LA, you spend a third of your life in your car…
By Jane on December 14, 2009
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 [...]

We finally make it to the Orchid Show.
By Jane on March 8, 2011
Finally! After trecking through the mall, getting annoyed with the kiosk guy who messed up my hair, and feeding the kids lunch, we arrive at the orchid show! It only took 1.5 hours to get from the parking lot and down one-wing of the mall but we made it! One of my favorite things to do [...]

Mommy sacrifices warmth so the family’s buns can stay warm while watching a night soccer game.
By Jane on November 3, 2010
Since it was the last game of the season, and since the family has SOCCER FEVER, we decide to take the girls to a night game. I’m exhausted, and a cold weather hater, but I tag along anyway because this is a family affair…and it would not be complete without ME! But, being my absent minded cold weather [...]

Abstract Orchids with Punches of Color.
By Jane on March 10, 2011
Are you sick of orchids yet? If not, here are more. I took some of the ones I already edited and added punches of color to make them more abstract. I’ve added some of the original RAW/unedited pictures to show you what they looked like before I put my Ahhh-tist touch to them. AN AHHH-TIST’S [...]

Huge fluffy snowflakes hit Metropolis!
By Jane on January 6, 2011
Out of nowhere and unexpectedly, Metropolis was hit with a HUGE, FLUFFY snow. The girls were so excited since we missed the big snow last year. Snowflakes the size of half-dollar coins were falling down on us like drops from Heaven. Not a great picture but this is the view when you look up. It [...]

Benz has been crawling for the last month or so and wants to go places. The other day, he wanted to go mess with the blinds, one of his favorite past times, and got stuck between the bed and the wall. I had put a pillow in between there so he wouldn’t hurt himself but [...]

Silly Bandz: The new friendship bracelet? Let’s go back to the old days.
By Jane on October 14, 2010
When I was in middle school, making friendship bracelets were all the rage and I was the queen of making string bracelets. No really. I was. I would spend hours upon hours knotting these colorful bracelets, all the while trying to come up with new patterns and styles to impress the kids at school. I [...]

Thelma cleans the bathroom. No, this is not another Cinderella Story.
By Jane on January 18, 2010
My lovely Thelma thought she would help her Mommy out and clean the bathroom. No, I did not force her…She totally did this out of her own will and the goodness of her sweet little heart. Actually, I wasn’t supposed to see any of this. Thelma wanted to surprise me. Thelma is wearing a vintage dress from [...]
