So, This is What 35 Looks Like

March 26, 2010 by Elaine

I’m sort of emotional today. I’m officially 35 years old. The other night Tim mentioned something to me about my birthday and I must’ve given him a “look” because then he said, “You don’t really want this one, do you?” He knows me too well. I’ve always loved my birthday. Always. And I still do….

I Got Conflicts Yo

March 5, 2010 by Elaine

It didn’t take long for me to find out in our early dating days, that Tim’s birthday was on the same date as my parents’ wedding anniversary. It’s never really caused a problem before since we don’t usually go anywhere to celebrate their union, we simply send a card if I remember. However, this year…

Happy Happy Happy!

January 1, 2010 by Elaine

We had a fun night last night. We went out to the home of a co-worker of Tim’s for dinner and a fireworks show (presented by Tim). They made us some awesome Louisiana-style brisket and crawfish. After I ate it I found out how much butter was in the crawfish dish. Don’t ask. Our hosts…

It’s My Love’s Birthday

July 16, 2009 by Elaine

Thirty-five years ago today a special baby entered the world. Twenty-one years later (plus some months) we met. Four years later we were married and now, almost ten years later, we’ve built a life together that I thank God for everyday. He’s a pretty simple, hard working man and all he asked for for his…

Life at Full Speed

May 18, 2009 by Elaine

Life seems to be going at warp speed right now. And as I type this, crazy wonderful things are on the horizon, coming in the near future. But also daunting things. Things that I have never experienced before but knew I probably would someday. Yes, I’m still being somewhat cryptic but I have to be….

Totally Terrific Two!

May 15, 2009 by Elaine

So today is the anniversary of the day that My Little G was born, two years ago. His birth story is nothing out of the ordinary except for the fact that he was born. My beautiful, wonderful, perfect second son who from the moment I saw his face, I knew would be another great love…

WW – Art That Touched My Heart

April 15, 2009 by Elaine

Last night The B Man drew this picture and dictated the words of his original “short” story to me. It says, “One day baby decided to go to the park. He talked to his Daddy, his Daddy said yes and he brought his two babies to the park and they played & played & played.”…

And the Mouse Party… A Success!

April 6, 2009 by Elaine

So I know many of you are wondering what it takes to pull off a “mouse” party. Not too long ago, I was in the same boat. But now that I am on the other side, I have to say, it was a great theme for my mouse-obsessed boy and I had a great time…

A Sugary B-day + A New Friend

April 3, 2009 by Elaine

So yesterday, my now five-year old started his day with whip cream and a candle on his pankcakes. Then he had frosted cookies to share at school. And for dessert? A VERY lop-sided giant cupcake. With green sprinkles. a.k.a The Leaning Tower of cupcake. It simply defies the laws of gravity, doesn’t it? Don’t worry,…
