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 [...]

Family time at the park full of tangles, pedometers, and feet.
By Jane on June 11, 2010
We’re at the same park again. It’s the kids’ favorite. This time, we bring the whole family. Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac and Lucy Lu are all with us. Freddie Mac is enjoying to his iPod versus listening to Fanny Mae yammering on about how he talks too loudly when listening to his iPod and can’t [...]

Not your every day Jeep. Gun included.
By Jane on September 6, 2010
While coming out of the grocery store, I see this in the parking lot. I wonder if they get tickets for not wearing a seat belt. And what’s this? Are you sure that little tie thing is going to be sufficient? Why not just put a sign on it that says TAKE ME. -Jane. Just [...]

Seasonal Winter weight gain results in “Food Baby”.
By Jane on November 30, 2009
Yes, it’s that time of the year where my body decides it needs to pack on about ten more pounds (Hopefully that’s it!) in order to stay warm in the winter. Hibernation mode like the bears, ya know. Actually, it started last month…right around Halloween, surprise surprise. I realized this seasonal pattern a few years [...]

Thelma and Louise reaping the benefits of my yardwork.
By Jane on November 22, 2009
The girls are playing in the front yard while I finished cleaning up the sidewalk. They did help me a little but being kids, their attention span and need to play took over. Since my yard has just been newly cut and cleaned, they are FULLY able to enjoy our yard. See how I contribute to the [...]

I sacrifice sleep to make the house ready for a showing while Dick gets his beauty rest.
By Jane on June 16, 2010
TIME TO PAINT After I shop for all the paint and stuff I need and we’ve eaten dinner, it’s now time to get to work. We have a showing the next day around 5pm. I know how much work there is to be done. We gotta BUST ASS if we’re going to get most of [...]

Caffeine while pregnant…just can’t take the coffee out of this Jane.
By Jane on March 3, 2011
Yes, that’s me and the hubs at Starbucks. Bawk! Pregnant and drinking caffeine. Pregnant women just love it when you tell them they shouldn’t be drinking caffeine. What can I say, I live dangerously. It is a myth that pregnant women are to avoid caffeine completely and actually pregnant women can consume about 200mg of [...]

Jane and Dick go shopping at our local Asian Grocery Store
By Jane on March 1, 2010
Our city of Metropolis does not have large Chinatowns or Asian grocery markets like the bigger cities but it’s enough for us. Dick and I recently went to get some fish. If you want a good variety of fresh fish and at great prices, I would find out where your local Asian grocery store is. [...]

By Jane on February 9, 2011
Since my parents have been gone and traveled to Vietnam to eat a ton of super yummy Vietnamese food, my dad finally made some Pho for us while Lucy was in town. This is the first time we have had pho in over two months and I was totally missing it!! If you don’t know [...]

Thelma helps me with Breakfast: Grits and omelet eggs with sausage.
By Jane on November 6, 2009

GRITS If you don’t know what grits are, you’re missing out! (Click HERE to see what Wiki can tell you about it.) A popular dish [...]

Building a Mr. & Mrs. Snowman. Introducing Mr. & Mr. Wilson.
By Jane on February 1, 2010
It’s the day after our “snow storm” and it’s SUNNY and warming up! With all the icicles melting off the trees, they all look like they are adorned with crystals and jewels with the light reflecting off the ice. Simply beautiful!

Daddy combing baby Benz’s hair. Really???
By Jane on January 29, 2012
Dick was going to take Benz for a short walk around the block using the Baby Bjorn. Prior to leaving and being the pretty boy that he is, he stopped by the bathroom to make sure he was looking good now that he has an added accessory…our son. I then glance over and see Dick [...]

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 [...]

Rusty Candle: Random pics for your enjoyment.
By Jane on March 13, 2011
After wacking all that monkey grass, I sat on my back porch to rest a sec and noticed this candle holder I have left outside a long time ago. This used to be silver but I think I like the rusty look much better now. I decide to put this cream floating flower candle on [...]

Jane’s Maternity Wear: Me and my bump at the Home Depot.
By Jane on December 31, 2010
Yes, those are my non-maternity ripped skinny jeans. My legs still fit and since they’re low-rise, they rise right below my bump. Awesome possum. Oh, and you’ll be seeing this jacket on me alot. It’s the only winter coat that I have that fits my exploding upper body. Yes, it’s a Gap Maternity Jacket that [...]

New Toilet Seat Cover with Kids Lid!!
By Jane on March 29, 2011
It was time to get a new toilet seat cover for one of our toilets. The old one was still in great shape, except, there was a chip on the seat that made it look like poo was stuck to it. Every time I looked at it, it was my first thought too. But seriously, [...]

Thankful that we are unscathed by record hail, rain, thunderstorms, and tornados.
By Jane on April 28, 2011
The South was hit SUPER HARD by a tremendous amount of thunderstorms, tornados and crazy hail. Some of my friends were reporting baseball and golfball-sized hail, dinged-up cars, damage to their houses, and leaking roofs. Dick was out of town so we went to my parents’ house. As soon as we heard the pounding of [...]

Jane refuses to be FORCED to pay the Smartphone data package and opts for a NON-SMART phone.
By Jane on March 14, 2011
So, I’ve had my LG phone for about 2 years now and I HATE it! The touch screen sucks and I fat finger and call random people all the time. Dick has been bugging me to get a new phone…imagine that! A husband who has to beg his wife to buy something new! Well, I [...]
