The other day, on our way somewhere (I can’t remember where. The pregnancy amnesia never seemed to go away.), Louise was hassling me for some ice skates now that she is taking lessons. Before, she hardly ever wanted to go ice skating but now that I’ve been taking the time to help her, she’s gained a [...]

EVERYDAY OSHO: Illuminiation. Chicken Soup for this Jane’s Soul.
By Jane on January 26, 2011
Throughout my life I’ve been turmoiled internally and it’s recently (in the past few years) that I’ve come to appreciate all the stresses in my life. Instead of looking at them as horrible things that have happened to me, I can now look at them as learning experiences and appreciate the challenges that come into [...]

I know everyone has an inner artist. Whether you think so or not. What inspires you? What does your inner artist like to do? -Jane, Twilight-influenced Photographer

Thunderstorm prompts half cut yard.
By Jane on May 28, 2010
Just when you thought there was nothing left to say about mowing my yard. This spring has brought us tons of thunderstorms. The grass gets super tall, super fast. I was on my mower cutting my grass the other day, knowing that there was a chance of thundershowers. That’s why I was out there mowing [...]

Back to Metropolis and back to my regular Starbucks.
By Jane on September 9, 2011
So we’re back in Metropolis and where else are we going to go but my regular Starbucks. Every morning Julia goes for a walk and comes back so we can go have coffee. It’s still early morning (early for me) so it’s nice and cool…so we decided to walk. The girls haven’t ridden their bikes [...]

Tryin on clothes at Kohls, boobie cleavage, and blockage in customer service.
By Jane on June 7, 2010
Lucy Lu, my dear sister is in town to visit. Good thing because I was all depressed about J Lo, Will and Carlton leaving us. Of course, I’ll be sad again when Lucy leaves but whatever, can’t think about that now. So, we go to Kohl’s because I need to return some swimming goggles that I [...]

Procrastinator turned Multitasker. Carpe Diem!
By Jane on November 10, 2009
The other day I was swamped with work to do because I had procrastinated for far too long on things that must be done. Procrastination was now biting me in the ass because I was missing out on one of the most beautiful days of Fall being that it was warm, sunny and mid-60s. While [...]

What to do with a bad watermelon? Juice it!
By Jane on July 28, 2011
You know how much I love watermelon in the summer, well, it’s always super disappointing when I get one that is mushy, powdery, pink (instead of red) and not sweet…like this one. Oh the disappointment!!! Of course, when shopping for watermelons, I always do that thumping thing that I see everyone else do…but seriously, I [...]

Homeschooling: Not for everyone but DEFINITELY for us!!
By Jane on September 14, 2009
I know there are people who are out there that are like, “Homeschool?!?!? How do your kids get the “social” part of school?” My response is…”Besides letting the kids out of their cage for about an hour a day to stretch out their legs, we occasionally take them to the local grocery store to see how other humans interact.”

Finally, after two years…Christmas with the family.
By Jane on January 2, 2012
Alright, so I’m going out of order but here are some pictures of our Christmas last week. For me, the best part of Christmas is not about the presents but having family get together. I’m excited to have my family together since last year my parents, sister, and aunt all left me to go to [...]

With having had a new baby, I decided we would take it easy over the summer and so only one sport…SWIMMING. And although last year was our first year on the swim team, we missed quite a few practices due to the burn that Thelma got but we also took time off to go to [...]

Homemade chicken noodle soup to stay warm in this cold weather.
By Jane on January 16, 2010
My kids love chicken noodle soup, especially when it’s cold. You don’t need a ton of ingredients and can easily throw it together. This time, I just used what I had. Since I had some chicken thighs in the fridge, I used that to make the broth. It’s fattier, but unfortunately, that’s the fat that makes it tasty.

The family goes watch a ladies college-level volleyball game. TN vs Ole Miss!!
By Jane on October 26, 2011
After being annoyed that Dick tried to set blame of the flat tire on me, I was able to get over it so that we could still enjoy watching the Lady Vols play against Ole Miss. From what we hear, there is quite a rivalry between these two teams and so it should be an [...]

Pregnancy woes: Can’t sleep. Itchy Stomach.
By Jane on December 29, 2010
The sleepless nights have already started. It’s 4:30am. For some reason, I was under the illusion that this wouldn’t happen until after the baby is born. Tossing and turning in discomfort. And, why does your stomach have to itch so dang much. -Jane, Sleepless & Itchy.

Gourmet and natural pizza at its best!
By Jane on October 15, 2009
Right after the park and right before we take Dick to the bus station, we grab dinner at one of our favorite pizza places to eat. Super yummy and completely natural if not organic. The atmosphere here is hippy-chic, artsy, mellow, and the food is AMAZING. They are known for their pizza but they also [...]

By Jane on October 21, 2010
Lucy was in town over the weekend so we took the girls shopping for costumes since they have been wanting Halloween costumes for the last 2 months. Louise has been checking them out online and has already changed her mind 3 times…each time telling me she’s ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOT going to change her mind. Good thing [...]
