It never fails, whenever we are at Wal-Mart, the girls want to ride the Merry-Go-Round. This little thing that goes around and around and around… It seems to be never ending…and brings them so much joy. Not to mention, the vending machines are ALWAYS calling their name. Here’s a video below of all the excitement and fun.

Removing Fall Leaves, Round 2.
By Jane on November 22, 2009
So, last time, round one was using my handy dandy backpack leaf blower. (Click HERE for that post.). This time, there’s not as many leaves so I use my Husquevarna riding lawn mower to mulch up the leaves and push them to the side. Even though it is sunny today, there is a breeze and it’s chilly.

Thelma gets a small acting job…with speaking lines.
By Jane on December 16, 2011
Thelma gets called in to do a job where she actually has speaking parts. She’s so super duper excited because she currently LOVES her drama class and she has been waiting for a job to come along. Remember her last job was when she was making cookies for a cookbook. That was only last year and [...]

No, I’m trying to insult a slightly overweight female (not that there’s anything wrong with that-being overweight that is). I’m talking about my son! Benz was a baby chicken this year, a costume that Louise wore when she was two. FLASHBACK TO HALLOWEEN 2004 Look at my sweet Louise, who is only 2.5 here. And my beautiful Thelma, [...]

How to PROPERLY cut a watermelon.
By Jane on May 21, 2010
It’s watermelon season (well not really but the grocery stores already have the ones imported from Mexico where they have forced grown it so that it would produce fruit for us watermelon lovers who can’t wait until summer)! I loves me some WATERMELON! So sweet and refreshing. Of course I get the SEEDLESS kind. My [...]

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 [...]

Biking and Hill-Climbing Preggar.
By Jane on January 21, 2011
The other day, we were blessed with unseasonable warm weather for this time of the year so we decided to take our bikes out and enjoy it! Plus, we had to go get some groceries. The hill next to our house was still iced over in parts so we had to be super careful. Dick’s [...]

Jane: Wanted woman by the cops?
By Jane on December 29, 2009
Thelma is missing good ole southern grits so we decide to go get some. She also wants some alone time with me at the Starbucks. I get ready and we’re off. She wants to sit up front and because it’s close, I let her. As we’re pulling out, I see a cop car with a [...]

By Jane on October 30, 2009
If you’re looking for something healthy to eat, then look no more. Everything below is cooked in the oven (minus the salad) so it’s not FRIED. Here is my recipe and directions for making Steelhead Trout, sweet potato fries accompanied with a salad and brown rice. Remember, I do not include amounts as I do [...]

Duncan Hines for this sweets junkie preggar.
By Jane on April 14, 2011
I don’t typically have a sweet tooth but pregnancy has changed all that. I’m craving sweets all the time and my girls are constantly ratting me out to my doctor and my friends. “Mommy eats a lot of sweets!” Sadly, I can’t really deny it. It’s true. We were at my parents house the other [...]

I had introduced my girls to one of my childhood favorites. Apples with peanut butter spread on top. I remember thinking, apples…with peanut butter…really. But, it’s SOOOOO good. If you’ve never tried it, OMG, you’re missing out! My kids LOVE it! We all do. Get your protein as well as keep the doctor away! By [...]

The family gets paid to spend a day on the lake for a Bayliner Boat shoot.
By Jane on August 11, 2011
Our family was fortunate enough to be selected to do a shoot for Bayliner, the boat company. I guess they liked our family’s International look. Except, poor Benz is too small to be on a boat so I had to make arrangements for him to stay home. Luckily, as I may have mentioned, my parents [...]

Chinese Mom backpedals after controversial Wall Street Journal article.
By Jane on January 19, 2011
It seems Amy Chua, that militant Chinese lady who wrote the article for the Wall Street Journal “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”, got quite the backlash at her uber-extreme strict rules for raising children and why she thinks Chinese (and moreso Asian) kids are “more successful” than Western kids. Click HERE for my comments on her [...]

I’ve compiled a list of typical things a scammer will tell you in their email. CRAIGSLIST RENTAL SCAM CHECKLIST: Usually, they are some kind of FOREIGNER who writes in somewhat [...]

Non-playful, lazy mom Jane watches as the Dads play with the girls.

Emergency cell phone rescue today paid off.
By Jane on December 1, 2009
I had the most unfortunate task of saving my cell phone today. Because I was wearing my PJs and had no pockets for my phone, I slid it down the back of my pants, so that my panties were holding it in place (Luckily, I don’t wear thongs). I know, great place right? Whatever. So, [...]
