If there was any doubt that my blog is aptly named, let me dispel those thoughts right now. This week’s posts, as a whole, do seem to prove my “Miss Elaine-ous-ness” From sweet to sad. From stories to pictures. Between a pic of K stuffing her face with pancakes to one of my worst memories…
Blog On Sista! (refelctions on blogging)
As I entered into the experience that was BlogHer ’11 I had no reservations and I was not stressed about going. Admittedly I was a tad anxious just because I knew I would meet many new people. It’s much like I used to feel when I was a kid, getting ready for the first day of school,…
BlogHer Top 12 (because top “tens” are boring, right?)
It’s hard to sum up my whole Blog Her experience this year because there was just SO. MUCH. So much walking. So much hugging. So much laughing. So much dancing. So much love. So much friendship. So much fun. So much swag (yes that too). So much picture-taking. But after going through the photos that were taken…
YOU & Me. It’s Where I Wanna Be- #SummerBlogSocial
I’m thrilled to participate in the #SummerBlogSocial hosted by Liz and Jessica because I really like these ladies and their great ideas and because I’ve been blogging for a while. Not to mention, I’m also very “social” so it certainly seems to fit, right? I perused the topics (all 13 of them!) several times and…
Have y’all heard about this conference happening the first weekend in August?
It was very questionable whether I was going to attend BlogHer this year or not. I debated the expense of it all and since it’s the week before The B Man starts school, I wasn’t sure the timing was so great either. But after Tim gave me my “bonus” and I found an awesome additional sponsor,…
And so, it’s okay
We see A LOT on the internet about the “Mommy Wars” and it just makes my heart sad to know that someone even coined that phrase. I don’t want to fight with any other mommies. I just want to be the best mommy I can be to my kids. And I’m guessing that’s what MOST…
Meeting Bloggers is so Much Fun!
This afternoon I traveled across the swollen Mississippi to meet up with my friend Katy as well as a few new blogging friends in Baton Rouge. We met at a local restaurant and had a great time chatting and getting to know each other better. And I was so happy to see Katy again before…
aPearantly Sew… It’s a Giveaway!
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……
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
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…
