Initials Inc. – Review & Giveaway

May 18, 2010 by Elaine

I like bags. And no, I don’t mean the ones under my eyes. I mean cute ones that I can strap over my shoulder and function well for me. Initials, Inc. makes sassy, cute bags of all kinds and they personalize them with just about any monogram you want for free! It goes without saying…

Partyin’

May 17, 2010 by Elaine

We had a whirlwind of a weekend. I even think a little tornado went through my kitchen, what with the baking and barbecuing and just general party prep and happenings. See what I mean? (that’s a lot of foil…) All that really matters though is that my Little G had a good time and I…

He’s Three!

May 15, 2010 by Elaine

It’s pretty late as I’m posting these words about my sweet, darling ‘Gavie’. I just finished baking the ice cream cone cupcakes for his party… He’s THREE years old and my heart swells just thinking about the day he was born. The minute they showed him to me in the O.R. and I saw that…

PSF – Baby K’s ‘Hair-Do’

May 14, 2010 by Elaine

Baby K and I were out running errands one day last week, just the two of us. We were in a particular store that lots of women frequent. I had a bow in her hair that was attached to a soft, stretchy band but it didn’t keep all of her hair down. I stopped counting…

You Capture – Yellow

May 13, 2010 by Elaine

No, you are right, there is not a whole lot of yellow in this picture (does G’s hair count?) but I don’t care, they are my cute boys and I’m posting it anyway. Sunshine and pretty flowers to you all today. 🙂

WW – Cruising Into 3

May 12, 2010 by Elaine

On Saturday this little guy will be three years old. I have a bond with him that’s indescribable. It’s not better than the one I have with my other children, it’s just different. There are moments when I REALLY want to send him off to toddler boarding school. BUT. Most days he redeems himself with…

Right Here, Right Now

May 11, 2010 by Elaine

I’m usually a night-time poster. But here I am on Tuesday morning with stuff in my head and my kids awake and I’m posting. Little G is painting in water colors and baby K is scooting backwards across the floor, as she likes to do these days. I just almost started to cry because I…

Mommy & Me Monday – Mother’s Day Edition

May 10, 2010 by Elaine

I was served breakfast in bed (yummy French toast, bacon and scrambled eggs with a glass of o.j.) and stayed there until 9:30, snuggling my baby girl. The boys were pretty good in church and after, we came home for lunch, and Tim made me a yummy grilled ham and swiss. The boys helped me…

You Capture – Spring (from a different perspective…)

May 6, 2010 by Elaine

We were challenged to capture Spring again, but in a different way this time… The bottom, instead of the top. Me, reflected in a bubble. My view down the driveway. From above (is this how the angels see us?)
