Since it was a nice day in winter, we took the kids to the park.

Middle man down! Injury on the job by a machete-potato peeler.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
There are certain hazards that come with the job. It’s just goes with the territory. Today, I sliced off a chunk of my skin peeling potatoes. It’s just the risk one takes when one is feeding one’s family. You don’t even think about it. You just do it. Yet another hazard in the throws of [...]

The family goes sledding with my snowboard.
By Jane on January 12, 2011
The girls really want to sled down our hill but all the sleds are sold out so, as a suggestion from my sister Lucy, we they try out using my snowboard as a sled. The three of them actually fit nicely. This hill is pretty steep and if you’re coming down from the top, it [...]

Video of me painting flowers and butterflies on the walls.
By Jane on March 10, 2010
Here’s a clip of me painting some flowers and butterflies on the walls…fast forwarded 2000 times. I woke up in the middle of the night and worked until morning on this. Nighttime is the only time to work. No interruptions…just quiet. Ahhhhhh. The girls were sleeping in mine and Dick’s room while I was working [...]

Remember how I told you I fall asleep easily? (No? Click HERE.) Yet another movie that I’ve only seen the first half of. Victim to falling asleep while watching a movie at home…again. When I’m physically at the movie theater I can usually stay awake. I’ve only fallen asleep during 2-3 of those. Anyone else [...]

SmasherJane smashes at Words with Friends.
By Jane on May 26, 2010
My sister gave me her old iPhone, which I use SOLEY for playing games. (I have a different phone I use for calls/texting.) The two games I like to play are WORDS WITH FRIENDS (which is a SCRABBLE application) and SCRAMBLE (which is a BOGGLE application). Yes, I’m a NERD. I LOVE playing these two [...]

Our first trip to the mountains this summer.
By Jane on June 3, 2010
Every year since I was a kid, we go the mountains during the summer for some FAMILY FUN. Our tradition is that we go to the same spot, pack lunch and just CHILL. My parents, Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, usually go with us and they always have the MOST FABULOUS lunch ready for us. [...]

Cleaning out our shit-filled shed.
By Jane on May 21, 2012
OUR SHITTY SHED Our shed looks like a total dump. It’s one of those places where we keep stuffing shit in it and never organize it. It’s one shitty shed. Actually, it’s a great shed when it’s organized because it does store quite a bit given that there are two rooms and a closet. It [...]

No TV = Creativity = Louise: Taxi Driver
By Jane on August 31, 2010
I’m not sure if you remember but we don’t have any TV channels, not even the basics. We have TVs and we’ll rent movies or watch whatever we have, but I cut the TV a while ago. The girls were watching it all day. Dick would get sucked in as well and I almost never [...]

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.”

The girls and I are driving through the Midwest to get to Toronto!!
By Jane on July 6, 2010
You remember my Aussie cousin, MIA, who was touring around Mexico and Central America? Well she’s swinging back around to visit us one more time before she’s off to return to her home on the other side of the world. Since the last time I saw her before this was 20 years ago, I don’t want to [...]

Since I posted the pictures from 6am this morning, we haven’t gotten much more snow than that (about 6-7 inches total so far).Although the snow is still coming down slightly and we’re expected to get a little more today and into the night. The girls and I took the dogs for a walk in the [...]

Your Daily Benz: The girls dress up Benz in their old ladybug ballet outfit.
By Jane on May 23, 2012
As I was saying, my girls just love dressing up their little brother in their girly clothes from when they were small. Their most recent make-over was to put Benz in a ladybug ballet outfit they had for a recital when they were 4 and 5. Look at my sweet girlies!! People used to ask [...]

ODE: For Intelligent Optimists. My new favorite magazine.
By Jane on September 13, 2010
The other day, I biked out to Starbucks for some ME-TIME and was reading my book, Learning from Salmon, and my new favorite magazine…introduced to me by my dear DICK. “You’re so lucky to have me. See how I expand your mind and make you so much smarter?” Ugh. He makes it so difficult for [...]
