Seattle’s Best {Iced HOT Giveaway!}

July 15, 2013 by Elaine

It’s HOT outside right now.  Like, OHMYGAWD why did I even step outside to get the mail today, hot. My kids are eating freeze pops like they’re goin’ outta style and the ice maker is workin’ over time. I found one way for me to combat the heat though. ICED coffee. Yum! I was so…

Blissdom ’13 – The Recap

March 27, 2013 by Elaine

From the moment Nicole told me that she would pick me up at the airport, I knew Blissdom was going to be pretty awesome. And despite the fact that my sweet roommate Kim got sick, it was quite wonderful. We kicked it off with a wonderful photo walk on Thursday afternoon where I finally got…

Onward to Bliss…

March 20, 2013 by Elaine

Things have been a little nutty around here lately.  G has been sick off and on with fever which finally culminated into a full blown, double ear infection.  Great times at the clinic today, lemme tell ya! (two restless kids, one sick, one harried mom, waiting for 2 hours, only one electronic device, bored after…

Just because…

January 21, 2013 by Elaine

The rest of the title for this post should be “I feel like posting about this and that and the other”.  But I thought that was really TOO long.  Like the run-sentence of blog post titles, ya know? Yes, this post is going to be a bit all over the place.  In the spirit of…

Blissdom ’13 & One 2 One Network

August 31, 2012 by Elaine

In January of 2011 I made a fairly “last minute” decision to venture to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Blissdom.  I set off to only my second conference, at the time, to room with two other bloggers I barely knew and to see some of my other friends. As I rode the fairly empty bus from the airport…

She’s So Random

January 20, 2012 by Elaine

I’m *pretty sure* I want to will run another half marathon in Austin at the end of March.  Like really, THE last day of March.  I’ve started training again like I’m going to do it but I’ve been eating like a pig lately peanut M&Ms are good. (I must be making up for low-carb lost…

Wow, What A Year!

December 30, 2011 by Elaine

Going through an entire YEAR’s worth of photos is fun, time consuming and brings forth so very many emotions.  I think I said in my head “Oh my gosh look how cute and little “so-and-so” was!!” about a bazillion times, possibly with a tear or three in my eye. Even The B Man seemed smaller and…

aPearantly Sew… It’s a Giveaway!

April 7, 2011 by Elaine

Part of the reason I really like going to blog conferences is because you never know who you’re going to meet that you didn’t even know existed out here in the “internets”before. It’s inevitable because there are just SO many blogs out there. AND… You might just sit next to a cute and lovely lady…

On Writing……

March 7, 2011 by Elaine

I used to write a lot in high school.  Poems mostly and a few short stories here and there.  I always liked writing, even papers about books that we had to read in school.  I never won (or even entered I don’t think…) any writing contests but I do remember one poem I wrote that…

Follow Your Bliss – WW

February 2, 2011 by Elaine

I was at this conference for less than 48 hours. I flew in Wednesday night while there was a dusting of snow on the ground and flew out Friday afternoon when there was no sign of it left. My roomies were quick to accept me. I mean really, it was like we’d roomed together a…
