Lucy and I meet up with my Mom for lunch during her lunch break from work. My mom is almost 65 but she loves working and I’m not sure she will retire any time soon. Being the super smart mom that she is, Fanny Mae is a Senior Project Engineer at an Environmental Engineering company. [...]

Soooo glad to have my babysitters, ummm I mean, my parents back!!
By Jane on January 24, 2011
YYYYYAAAAYYYY! Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac are finally back from their vacation Vietnam/Thailand/Japan!!! The girls are SUPER DUPER EXCITED to have their grandparents back. Every day, they would tell me how much they missed them. However, I may just be more excited than they are. You don’t know how overly joyous about this. #1 I [...]

Modern PAJAMA Family Photo Shoot.
By Jane on January 26, 2011
I’m finally at my friend’s house after running out of gas and being rescued, and ready to do the photo shoot for her family. When I do family shoots, I like to create a “mini-event” that fits the personality of the family where I’m just there to document all the fun, snapping away. I’m not [...]

Every year I think, THIS is going to be the year I’m going to decorate for Halloween. I love Halloween but inevitably, each year, we’d be lucky if we have a pumpkin in the front yard. Consistently, this has been the plan for the last 5 years and consistently every year, no Halloween decorations. However, [...]

Non-playful, lazy mom Jane watches as the Dads play with the girls.
By Jane on July 7, 2011
With Mr. Bean and his kids in town visiting, this time we thought we would show them a little bit of downtown Metropolis. Remember I don’t leave my bubble often but in the summer, we like to venture out and take the kids downtown sometimes for some water fun. THE PLAYGROUND First we started [...]

Tis the season for fresh squeezed OJ!
By Jane on December 23, 2010
Winter is the season for oranges!! This is the best and sweetest time of the year to enjoy oranges either by just eating them or having fresh squeezed OJ! It takes some effort to get every last drop so I recruit my dear Dick. What else are his fabulous muscles for? Meanwhile, I make us [...]

Sneezing and reminded that I need to practice my kegels more.
By Jane on December 27, 2009
I saw this on a aisle in the toys section during the holidays. They are Little Mommy Baby Achoo dolls. Only Little Momma on the right looks like she she’s had a rough night. Girlfriend must have been sneezing up a storm already. LOL

So many socks, so little matches…annoying.
By Jane on February 12, 2010
I don’t understand how we could have so many socks… And come up with still SO MANY without matches. Yes, these are ALL DIFFERENT. I hate it when I don’t have the matching pair to socks. -Jane, Non-Fan of Non-Matching Socks

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.

Metropolis gets hit by snow again!
By Jane on January 10, 2011
I’ve been waiting for this snow all night since they kept saying the Southeast was going to get hit by a storm again. And finally, it came! It’s 6am now and here are pictures that I just took of my front and back yard. As you can see, it’s still dark outside. FRONT BACK We’re [...]

It’s Friday! You ain’t got not job. You ain’t got shit to do.
By Jane on October 28, 2011
I’m so behind on blogging. Benz is now 5 months and I’ve still got stuff to write about that happened a month ago. Pregnancy and having children contribute greatly to my rapidly disappearing brain cells, whereby the count is drastically depleted with each additional child. That and, of course, aging. Pregnancy amnesia doesn’t go away [...]

Ladies Night at the Sports Bar never ceases to disappoint.
By Jane on August 24, 2010
June and I hit LADIES NIGHT at the local sports bar again and this time, we bring Eminem out with us so I can properly SCHOOL him in ping pong in public. Dick actually would love to join us but due to his injury, he’s not quite that mobile yet. The table is open and [...]

My girls just don’t know how lucky they got it. Who else can have class in bed? Here they are, all snuggled in bed, in their pajamas and I’m reviewing some English basics prior to their Standardized Testing (SATs) coming up. Yes, I get them tested yearly to make sure I’m not retarding their brains. Oh and I’m [...]

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 [...]

Simple, quick snack for the Lazy Parent: Bread, oil & vinegar.
By Jane on February 15, 2011
If you’re looking for an easy quick snack for the kids? How about some bread, oil and vinegar? Just toast up your favorite whole grain bread (baguette’s are great too!). On a separate plate, put Extra Virgin Olive Oil, your favorite Balsamic Vinegar, some salt and pepper and you’re good to go! I love this [...]

The next day after the girls best friend, Kristen Stuart, leaves, Thelma wakes me up early in the morning again (this time not AS early…around 7:00 am) complaining that her stomach is still hurting again. Whhhhaaaaatttt? I thought we were done with all that! (Sorry no pics today, it was hectic enough without having to [...]

Yes, I sometimes take pics of ROADKILL. Remember the other skunk and possum? This one is not as graphic. Poor thing looked so cute. Didn’t smell as cute though. Please use Pepe as a reminder that life is not guaranteed and anything can happen in the split of a second. Now go out and live [...]

Miso soup is one of our family’s favorite soup to eat and we always order it when we eat sushi. It’s super healthy, super good, and super easy to make. This is a fast soup to make. Once the water boils, it’s just a matter of adding the ingredients and serving. No waiting for it [...]
