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.

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.”

I just realized while doing the Sunday United Crossword puzzle that “opinion” comes from “opine” – to think. Yes, slowly but surely… -Jane, Lifetime Student

Simple and super tasty Almond Crusted Chilean Sea Bass.
By Jane on February 11, 2011
I made some Chilean Sea Bass the other day for my dad’s birthday. All I did was sprinkle salt, pepper, and my special mushroom seasoning (optional) and cooked the bass in the oven at 350F for about 30-40 minutes (or until it’s cooked). Use olive oil to coat the pan. I then added a crushed [...]

By Jane on May 12, 2010
My sister-in-law, J Lo and her boys, Will and Carlton, are visiting us for a couple of weeks and my girls are SUPER EXCITED. They adore their cousins. We’re still homeschooling so Will and Carlton get to come with us to the Co-op. Coming from LA, I guess we’re considered the “cun-tree” but I’d take [...]

My good friend of ten years, Orlando Bloom, is in LA visiting his family for the holidays. I met Orlando when we both worked at Ford together. We were in the same New Employee Orientation group as my other friends seen at the Pimps and Ho’s party.

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 [...]

If you have not met Monk, you’re about to now. Dick gave Monk to Thelma a couple of years ago for Christmas. Bought from Justice Girls, she came hugging one of those comfy matching monkey flannel blankets. Monk is sassy and is one of the most traveled Monkey stuffed animals I know because Thelma just [...]

By Jane on September 25, 2009
You never think it’s going to happen to you, until well, IT DOES. Also known as H1N1, flu from pigs is what it is. Sounds disgusting huh? Now it’s spreading from human to human. Google Health says the following about Swine Flu: Swine influenza is flu virus usually found in pigs. The virus [...]
Family from LA, Austrailia, and Toronto visit us in Metropolis.
By Jane on March 23, 2010
As I said, I have a ton of family visiting me. My cousin, M.I.A., is visiting from Australia. The last time I saw her was 20 years ago when I was 15 and she was 5. Here we are at Niagara Falls. It’s 1989 and yes, I had permed hair back then and stone washed [...]

With all the tornados going on in Mississippi, we’re getting the aftereffects here in Metropolis. Dick, the girls and I were spending the night at my parents house when we just had a HUGE rain storm. When I came home this morning to get started on the million of things I need to do, this [...]

Unless I take pictures of myself, I would never have any. Now you know why most pictures of me have one arm extended and half of my face is lopped off. Of course, Dick says it’s because my head is so big and only half of it would fit on the camera. Such the comedian [...]

Damn those word confirmations that verify if you’re human!
By Jane on August 13, 2010
I just love how these days you have to type in word confirmations where you have to use Million-Dollar Man type vision to try to decipher MORPHED ILLEGIBLE WORDS so the system can identify that you are indeed HUMAN and not some computer who is generating a bunch of automatic posts or whatever it is [...]

My Cinderella Girls working hard to clean their room.
By Jane on December 30, 2010
After we get the old bed out, there’s still plenty of cleaning to do prior to moving in and setting up the new beds. The girls reminded me of this phrase that I’ve must have repeated before, “It always gets worse before it gets better Mommy!” Yep, true dat, girls. But I’ve trained these girls [...]

The Grandparents lovin’ on Benz when they can.

With the girls asking to hold Benz all the time, my parents will occasionally also get an opportunity to love on Benz. My dad is so cute when it comes to babies. He could sit and stare at them forever. This little guy is getting way spoiled. Something about cuddling and napping [...]

Thelma and Louise got the coveted Baby Whoopsie Doo that eats and then pees or poos by their dear auntie Lucy Lu. They are super-thrilled since they’ve been asking for these urinating and eliminating dolls for some time now.
