Where’ve I Been?

January 30, 2011 by Elaine

Well, that’s kind of a loaded question. I mean, I did go to Nashville for Blissdom but I also just haven’t been here, in the bloggy world much at all this last week. I haven’t even posted anything here since LAST Sunday night. That’s a week ago. I don’t think I’ve gone a week without…

Hey Blissdom peeps, It’s me, Elaine!

January 18, 2011 by Elaine

I’ll be wearing different earrings at Blissdom because I CAN. I usually just wear these studs that the hubs (Tim) gave me for our second anniversary because I know a kid can’t rip them out of my ears (trust me, they’ve tried).  I may come at you with this face you see above because I…

I’ve Got a New Look!

January 10, 2011 by Elaine

So, what do y’all think?  Did you think you were in the wrong place at first?  HA! That’s what usually happens to me when a blog I read changes it’s “face”.  But, I was ready to simplify and have a new look and the very talented and easy-to-work-with Krystyn of Krizzy Designs was there to…

Give the Blog Some Love

January 3, 2011 by Elaine

So, I’ve been feeling a little “ho-hum” or “hum-drum” about the blog lately. I’m kinda bored and feel like even my readers are too. But of course I still love it! It’s truly a creative outlet for me. Some people post about how they have nothing to say or aren’t sure what to blog about…

Bloggy Boot Camp, Round 1

October 25, 2010 by Elaine

I have a lot to say about this “little” conference. And when I use the word “little” I only mean it in the sense that it has a smaller attendance per city (since it has and will be in a total of 10 places, I think) and in that it is a one-day conference. I…

Past Post Parade – August

August 31, 2010 by Elaine

I started this idea because I like to peek into your archives and I personally think it’s great fun to go back and read other bloggers previous posts. So here’s how it goes: Link up to a post from August of last year or August of any previous year, depending on how long you’ve been…

New Friends, New Places

July 26, 2010 by Elaine

Last Friday I loaded up the kids and headed for Alexandria. Louisiana, that is. Don’t my children look just thrilled? They really were, it was just very sunny. Oh and apparently Baby K was already scopin’ the animals… There’s a zoo there and we met up with Heather and her kidlets. Aren’t they cute?? In…

I’ve Returned…

April 27, 2010 by Elaine

…to home and to blogging. My weekend was wonderful, relaxing, hilarious and a little painful (I’ll explain) and just a beautiful, fun time with good friends. There’s a lot to say and many pictures to post. But some will have to wait because frankly, I’m adjusting back to reality now that my MIL and BIL…

Fated

April 23, 2010 by Elaine

Tim and I met at a Catholic student retreat that included a few colleges in the area. I didn’t arrive until Saturday morning because I had to work Friday night and if I’d been scheduled on Saturday, I proably wouldn’t have gone. Tim almost didn’t come to the retreat at all. If either of those…

Mabel’s Labels BlogHer ’10 Contest

March 14, 2010 by Elaine

I’m going to be okay with this, really I am. This is a good thing. Because you know? I’m really passionate about my home and this will give me more time to concentrate on our home, the one I’ve created for my family. You know my family right? My wonderful, hard-working husband and my three…
