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.

Ice covers Metropolis. Schools are out…well…not all of them.
By Jane on December 16, 2010
It’s been damn cold here in Metropolis. Last night, we just got covered with a blanket of ice. One of the great things about homeschooling is that if there is inclement weather, it makes no difference to us. My kids are quite dissaapointed by this. “What do you mean we’re still having school?” -Jane, Homeschool Mom.

Caffeine while pregnant…just can’t take the coffee out of this Jane.
By Jane on March 3, 2011
Yes, that’s me and the hubs at Starbucks. Bawk! Pregnant and drinking caffeine. Pregnant women just love it when you tell them they shouldn’t be drinking caffeine. What can I say, I live dangerously. It is a myth that pregnant women are to avoid caffeine completely and actually pregnant women can consume about 200mg of [...]

Benz has been crawling for the last month or so and wants to go places. The other day, he wanted to go mess with the blinds, one of his favorite past times, and got stuck between the bed and the wall. I had put a pillow in between there so he wouldn’t hurt himself but [...]

Convenience shopping at Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac’s.
By Jane on October 27, 2010
We were out of eggs and rather than going to the grocery store and have to get dressed, drive, park, walk all the way to the back the store, get my eggs, possibily get distracted and buy a million other things, come back to the front, wait in line, check out, pay, find and walk to [...]

Not sure how I forgot about this but after eating vegan at Cafe Gratitude, we decided to walk around the area, which is called Larchmont. It’s a cute little area with restaurants and boutiques. As soon as we set off from Cafe Gratitude, I see a “sign”. Apparently a sign that I’ve been waiting for. I [...]

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 [...]

The cold Pacific water of Santa Monica Beach and fun in the sand.
By Jane on March 15, 2012
Our first full day in LA and we hit the beach. Mostly we hit the beach because Dick ran from Lucy’s house in West Hollywood, took Santa Monica Blvd all the way to Santa Monica Beach and then wanted me to meet him there because he wouldn’t want to run back home. It was a [...]

Saving my daffodils from the rain.
By Jane on March 2, 2011
Because we were nearly flooded from all the rain, the rain was killing my daffodils that had already popped out their head. Why let them get all mashed up outside? Such a waste when I can enjoy them inside. Look how filthy they are from all the dirt/mud splatters. No problem, nothing a rinse can’t cure. [...]

West Hollywood’s local yogurt shop with a bit of flare.
By Jane on March 30, 2012
I definitely have frozen yogurt cravings when I’m pregnant so we stopped by one in West Hollywood off Santa Monica Blvd called the Yogurt Stop. And although it’s similar to your typical frozen yogurt shops these days, it’s got a bit of FLARE as well. How’s that for a logo? Pump it yourself. And top [...]

Racing up escalators turns to injury…for Jane.

After spending a few days in Metropolis, it was time for my cousin to head to her next destination, Los Angeles, to see my sister Lucy Lu. Spending the last couple weeks with MIA has been so super fun and it never seems like enough time when I’m with family. Every time my family leaves [...]
