Coming out of the closet! (My old clothes that is.)

24 January 2010 By Jane 0 In Smashin' Fashion

I went to an art gallery exhibit opening the other day (Story to come out shortly after this one.). I’m still trying to stick to my daily goal of wearing something I haven’t worn in a long time. I got this shirt three-four years ago and I have only worn it two times…until now. I’m [...]

Making use of old clothes. My new/old wardrobe.

21 January 2010 By Jane 0 In Smashin' Fashion

Remember I said I was going to try to use more of my clothes that are collecting dust? I’m trying to use something different daily that I haven’t worn in a long time. This takes alot more time getting ready as I have to be creative putting an outfit together, but it’s loads of fun [...]

Ewwww Pink! Going through a tomboy phase.

By Jane on September 19, 2010

We’re going through a tomboy phase where PINK is no longer favored. These days, I often hear: “That’s too girly Mommy!” So I guess we’re into the “tough chick” mode…especially Thelma. I’m not sure I can even get them in a dress or skirt. Kids and their phases. I guess I have mine too. Whatevs, [...]

We find a rodent in the shed. Opossum or Rat?

By Jane on November 8, 2010

DISCLAIMER: To start, down here, we call OPPOSSUMS just POSSUM and all future reference to this rodent will be referred to as such. I just didn’t want to confuse those who don’t know this from the onset with the title. So I was in the shed getting some trimmers for the hedges when I spotted what I thought [...]

We try out a new park.

By Jane on February 24, 2011

Pics from the new park that we were on the way to when my parents were following me. The sky was quite dramatic that day, especially since we got there around sundown. As the parents, we thought it necessary to test out the equipment to make sure it would be safe for the kids. LOL [...]

Da Vinci sleeping pattern on hold while pregnancy ensues.

By Jane on April 12, 2011

I know my posts have been short and sparse…sorry. Not that I don’t have anything to post about…just no time. No time and sleeping more than usual…so even less time (and energy)! It used to be that I would sleep around 10-11pm, then wake up around 2-3am, work and blog until around 6-7am and then [...]

Sister Day!!

By Jane on September 27, 2010

The same day Louise gets home from hand modeling, Thelma and Louise declare SISTER DAY. Funny because, when Lucy and I were kids, we used to do the same thing! Sister Day would be a day where we would have gifts for each other and we MUST be nice to each other the entire day. [...]

Benz’s Bunz are the Best…a booty call I’m down for!

By Jane on December 11, 2011

Because the baby age flies by, I wanted to try to capture some of Benz’s nooks, crannies, rolls so that we could somewhat “preserve” this age. The softest part of his skin is his back and stomach. It’s so velvety soft. One of my favorite parts of his body is his neck. You may even [...]

Taking Benz outside for some Vitamin D.

By Jane on June 2, 2011

At only 5 days old, the sun was out and so I decided to take my sweet Benz out so he could get some Vitamin D. OMG, words can’t even describe how in love I am with this little guy. So dang sweet… He’s just tiny! Only 5 lbs 8 oz because breast-fed babies tend [...]

Daddy and Benz at the park.

By Jane on June 24, 2011

While the girls are playing on the playground, Dick and I go for a walk with Benz. Only, it seems like it’s just the two of them… Dick took a few of me but they were just hideous. Not solely the fault of the photographer. I wish Dick had some photo skillz so that I [...]

Jane: Can’t be Tamed.

By Jane on July 30, 2010

I was at Starbucks the other day with June and ran into a good friend of Dick’s, VINNY. Dick has known him from 15+ years ago. I used to run into him here all the time but it looks like he takes his coffee to go now. A super funny Persian guy in his 40s who [...]

Late Night Snack.

By Jane on December 30, 2010

What? It’s late. And I’m hungry. Whole wheat turkey w/mayo & tomato. Lays plain chips. Claussen pickles. Mmmm, that was good. I think that took me about 5 minutes to eat. Remember, I’m pregnant! Yes, I plan on using that line to the fullest extent! Of course, Dick will tell you this is not a [...]

My girls have been inspired to read. Hope they keep it up.

By Jane on February 10, 2010

I’m so excited that Thelma and Louise are getting into reading. Now that I’ve cut off the TV at home, it’s made a world of difference.

We’re eating Vegan at Vegan Glory

By Jane on January 3, 2010

I am by no means a vegetarian or vegan but I do try to eat less meat. The other day, I went with Lucy, Ricky and Thelma to Vegan Glory, a fantastic vegan restaurant that uses Soy to make imitation chicken, beef, and shrimp. It was extremely tasty and I quite enjoyed it.

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 [...]

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 [...]

We had one of our rentals empty out so it was time for me to head to Gotham City again and take care of business. Remember, by cleaning crew…I’m referring to myself. The last time we were in Gotham City was during my pregnancy and I had seen our Art Lounge for the first time [...]
