Fun with Jane & Dick

Thelma brings in some smoothies to my office while I was here working. I thought she had made me something to drink and was bringing it to me. How thoughtful! But, before she handed me one, she said… “WAIT.” Then, she proceeds to show me the sign. Being the creative entreprenuer that she is, she [...]

Our “winter storm” came. Only, it wasn’t really a storm. We get some snow but nothing like a foot or anything. I was hoping for at least 8 inches but alas, no. No matter, it’s BEAUTIFUL outside and we’re going for a walk. When you have snow and ice covering everything, it’s like a whole [...]

The boys are in need of a bit of a haircut. So, since I cut J LO’s hair the last time I was in LA, she wanted me to cut the boys hair. As I have said before, I’m definitely no professional and I’ve never been to beauty or hair school. I’ve cut women’s, girls’ [...]

Thelma, being almost 10 and anti-pink/anti-girly, no longer plays with her Build-a-Bear. Well, that is, until recently, she discovered that the same clothes may fit her unsuspecting little brother. Little Benz sitting innocently and happily. Now look at him. He’s horrified. “Why sissy, why?!?!?” Not a happy camper. He no likey-likey. Then the other day, [...]

It was another gorgeous day in Metropolis and I was going to meet a friend of mine at Starbucks for coffee. Normally, I like to go without kids because it’s my me-time but today, I’ve got Benz with me. However, he’s fast asleep in the car, which is great too because then he’s not trying [...]

I used to have a vegetable garden every year, until one year, I just started to get too busy with work, kids, etc. And even though every year we would talk about doing another garden, it would never happen. This year is different. IN PREVIOUS YEARS It used to be that we would have all [...]

My little helpers are getting the full Mommy experience. They freak out every time he throws up on them. Both have had their fair share except Thelma seems to have been more prone to it. “Ewwww! He threw up on me!!” I’m like, this is nothing! It’s a little bit of sour milk. It’s nothing [...]

After we get the old bed out, there’s still plenty of cleaning to do prior to moving in and setting up the new beds. The girls reminded me of this phrase that I’ve must have repeated before, “It always gets worse before it gets better Mommy!” Yep, true dat, girls. But I’ve trained these girls [...]

We often use my parents house as our local convenience store. Whenever we run out of toilet paper or paper towels and are lazy to run to the store, we just head over to Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac’s house. Today, we got eggs (from my parents’ chickens but recycling Eggland’s Best container), a roll of [...]
