WW – Because I Can

August 5, 2009 by Elaine

I haven’t done ANY scrapbooking in ages. My laundry list of excuses is long including being pregnant, of course moving, keeping busy with kids and well, this blogging thing that I kinda like to do. But after finding this pretty girly paper and remembering that I had some additional flower embellishments, I just had to…

BlogHer Swag For YOU!

August 4, 2009 by Elaine

On my way home from BlogHer I was SO grateful that my suitcase has four wheels on the bottom. Do y’all have one of these yet? They are fantastic, especially for a pregnant woman who is almost 30 weeks along and bringing home bottles of detergent and shampoo and well, lots of other stuff. Yeah,…

Remembering the Last Time I Did This

August 3, 2009 by Elaine

Since we recently uprooted ourselves and moved to an entirely new town, I’ve been pondering memories of the only other time I made such a BIG move in my life. It was the week I left for college. Until then I lived in the same town and went to the same schools since Kindergarten. Just…

Let’s Wrap This Up, Shall We?

July 30, 2009 by Elaine

Alright kids, it’s my last Blogher post. I know it’s taking me forever to write about it all but well, there was a lot to document and since it was my first time to attend I want to make sure I do a good job of it, k? I’m not apologizing for being long-posty winded,…

We Interrupt This Regulary Scheduled Program…

July 29, 2009 by Elaine

… to talk about The Toddler. Y’all remember I have kids, right? With all the BlogHer craziness I’d kinda forgotten myself (of course I didn’t actually forget, you know that, right?), although FULLY reminded when I returned home to the multiple personalities that comprise a two-year old. I missed his adorable smile, his sweet toddler…

Out And About in Chi-Town

July 28, 2009 by Elaine

On Friday afternoon Haley and I decided that we’d had enough of being cooped up in the hotel and hit the pavement. We may have missed a session or two of interest and I know I missed a few keynote speakers who read favorite posts that I kinda wished I’d heard (I didn’t know that’s…

Where to Start… How ’bout the Beginning?

July 27, 2009 by Elaine

On Friday morning I woke up tired but totally stoked about the next couple of days to come. I’d only seen a handful of people the night before that I wanted to meet and I was ready to find more of my internet friends. The morning started with the intro to the conference from the…

It’s a Whirlwind!

July 24, 2009 by Elaine

So far this trip to BlogHer has been head-spinningly crazy. We got in later than expected last night after riding the shuttle “from Hades” to the hotel (don’t get me started…) and after waiting an hour for our luggage. Oy. The parties were a tad crazy and the mob for swag, well I won’t go…

It’s the Little Things…

July 22, 2009 by Elaine

The boys and I went to a local outdoor farmer’s market this morning. The B Man tried his first plum (I’m not a fan so I’ve never offered them up before) and we found a watermelon that was YELLOW on the inside. Me no likey. Nevermind that it was mealy on the inside, but yellow?…
