When we were in LA, Thelma was begging me to go ice skating like EVERY DAY. She missed it SO much. Around the corner from J Lo’s place was one of those small, temporary outdoor rinks they set up over the “winter” in her area. I don’t like these because usually the ice is really [...]

If you’re going to have a guest over for a light meal, consider this fresh, delicious and easy appetizer that can be surprisingly filling. There are many different ways to make bruschetta and this one is simple, tasty, and easy to prepare. I wanted to know more about bruschetta so I googled it. Apparently I’m [...]

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 [...]

The Geek Squad at Best Buy has hijacked my iMac for repair of the harddrive. It’s so hard to be without my baby. Hopefully I’ll get it back today. -Jane, Mac-less

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, [...]

As I may have mentioned, one of the great benefits of homeschooling is that you can take it on the road. This is one of the main reasons why we homeschool.

Meanwhile, during that SAME amount of time that he is spending meditating and waiting for his body to be ”cleansed”…I’m CLEANsING too. THE KITCHEN, THE BATHROOM, AND THE OFFICE.

Stay-at-Home: Do you feel you don’t “contribute”??? WHATEVER!!!
By Jane on September 15, 2009
I know so many stay-at-home Mom’s who feel like they have to “contribute”. WTF??? We work our asses off 24-7 taking care of our husbands and children with lots of expectations and no appreciation, raises, or adult interaction. And, much respect to those who are working Moms as well because you then have TWO [...]

Dick and his marathon: Extensive running may cause chaffing of nipples.
By Jane on March 2, 2010
Remember I mentioned Dick is running a marathon soon, therefore he’s training and researching about marathons online. DICK: “Baby, I’ve been researching about marathons. And some people have commented about the long term effects of having run a marathon. Like, this one guy said he couldn’t do anything RAPIDLY for 18 months after he ran [...]

Pregnancy Woes: Jane needs Depends.
By Jane on May 2, 2011
Quite embarrassing as it is, I must bring it to light because I feel I am not the only one out there that is experiencing random pregnancy incontinence. Remember how I mentioned having leakage problems during the winter. Well, it was around the same time RHINITIS was at its worst and I was feeling the [...]

Next door to the place we had sushi was this cake shop. I don’t bake at all unless you count using Duncan Hines box cakes and Nestle Tollhouse Mini cookies. However, I wish I could make cakes like these.

We had to stop by AT&T today because Dick’s new phone wasn’t working properly. The girls and I got bored waiting for them to resolve his problem and get him a new phone. Of course, BOREDOM prompts CREATIVITY. Therefore, I take my little point and shoot Canon out and I play.

As I said, while we were working, the girls were playing. Thelma especially loves to swing really high and then jump off. Louise, not so much. She is much more cautious. -Jane, Mother to Swinging/Jumping Girls.

I hate eye poo. By eye-poo, I’m talking about that crusty shit that makes your eyes stick together. What is the formal word for it? I know it in Vietnamese but not in English. I’m sure my doctor friends can tell me. Anyway, poor Benz got “an eye-full” over the holidays. He had a cold [...]

Loud teeny-bopper destroys my HAPPY time and positivity.
By Jane on September 13, 2010
So while I’m trying to read my POSITIVE magazine (ODE) and feeling all good inside, relaxing, reading, enjoying the light breeze, having my coffee and such, I was ABRUPTLY INTERRUPTED by two teenie boppers who decided to sit down at the table right next to me and start YAMMERING ABOUT LOUDLY at such a level [...]

Flying Southwest Back to Metropolis: Going back home after a month.
By Jane on January 11, 2010
It’s been a month that we’ve been in LA. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself. It’s the first time EVER that I’ve never spent Christmas with my parents but it’s also the first time EVER that I’ve spent Christmas in such warm, lovely weather. Los Angeles is crazy but I really will miss their weather. I had [...]

Need a project to do with the kids? How about collaborate on a painting together?
By Jane on January 9, 2011
Louise and I were at home together while Dick took Thelma to her training academy. So, Louise wanted to do something TOGETHER and thought it would be neat to work on a painting together. Normally, since the kids always want help with stuff, I would be like, “It’s more special if you do it by [...]

Your daily Benz: Pouty lips and actual tears!
By Jane on July 13, 2011
Sweet Benz is usually a happy, smiling chill baby. But sometimes, when he’s starting to get a little fussy, he does that stick-out-the-bottom lip pout. It’s the cutest thing and when you see it, you just want to give him anything his heart desires! It amazes me how babies innately know how to do this. [...]

Your daily Benz: Sleeping with Mommy and Daddy.

Because I’m the Mommy AND the photographer, I am doubly doomed not to get any pictures of me with the baby or me with my family at all for that matter…even though I am the one person who currently spends the most time with the baby. However, I’m torn because even though I want to [...]
