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. [...]

The MADNESS that is Black Friday at 2:30 in the morning!!
By Jane on November 26, 2011
I’ve never been to any BLACK FRIDAY event. Normally, it starts at 5-6AM and I’m just not inclined at that hour to awake from my REM sleep to go and stand in a long-ass line, out in the cold, push and shove, and run around like a madwoman to try to get a few deals. [...]

Like brother, like sister. Watermelon improperness…some things never change.
By Jane on September 8, 2011
Looks like someone STILL has not read my post on how to PROPERLY cut a watermelon. Some things never change. For sure, this is not the method. Seriously! Time for damage control. I had to take the knife away from my dear sister-in-law before butchered this watermelon any further. Improper watermelon cutting and eating run [...]

By Jane on March 14, 2012
So here’s a small tour of my sister’s place. It’s a one bedroom, one bathroom condo that is part of a house that has been turned into a duplex. When you first entire the walkway to her place, you are greeted by a serene sitting area surrounded by greenery and palms. My sister has her [...]

She-Ra turns 25!!! I have the POWER!!!
By Jane on October 6, 2010
For those 80s babies like myself, I just came across an article about one of my favorite cartoons growing up. SHE-RA! She-ra was the female, kick-ass version of HE-MAN, who fought against evil, was a strong, intelligent female and I wanted to be her! Watching religiously daily and wanting to have the POWER, I would [...]

Thelma and Louise, awesome baby helpers.
By Jane on July 11, 2011
Because they girls are now 8 and 9, they’re big enough now to do many things themselves and they are fantastic helpers with the baby. That’s some good planning on mine and Dick’s part…NOT. Even still, the girls are the best helpers a mommy could ask for. Remember when I told you lazy busy parents [...]

Louise works “hard” for her money and gets called to do another modeling job.
By Jane on October 24, 2011
Louise gets called in to do another modeling job. The last job we did together as a family when we did the Bayliner Shoot but it’s been a year since Louise had a job by herself. Remember the Denktek flossers? I’m trying to figure out all the logistics because Dick is out of town, I [...]

Pets: Kids just want to care for something of their own.
By Jane on September 29, 2009
For some reason, kids just have this inherent need to have pets. They just want to take care of something and call it their own. Like most kids, my kids wanted to be the parents of their own puppy. Fanny Mae had bought an adorable little Pekingnese for herself, so when my mom brought the [...]

No longer am I able to just get up. I now have to roll over first or have someone assist me by pushing or pulling me up. Sigh… -Jane, Roley Poley Preggar.

F-bomb can land you in jail. F#$%, should I be worried???
By Jane on October 27, 2009
Looks like my tendencies to spurt out an f-bomb could land my ass in jail! There seems to be a man from Kansas City who will be facing 30 days in a county jail for going on an f-bomb rampage in a road-rage altercation with another man. I wonder if he told the judge to “F#$%” [...]

On a separate plate, put Extra Virgin Olive Oil, your favorite Balsamic Vinegar, some salt and pepper and you’re good to go! I love this [...]

Individual Mommy Time with Thelma.
By Jane on January 22, 2010
Dick and I like to give the girls some one-on-one time and so we’ll split up, each of us taking one of the girls. They like to have that individual attention from us. Of course, I am the photographer and so I have pictures of my time with the girls.
