Winners of the Infamous Muffin Giveaway & Some New Blogs

January 24, 2010 by Elaine

Wanna know something fun? There are TWO winners for the muffin giveaway. AND? After all the hoopla and MANY entries being deleted because LOTS of people don’t understand that I cannot get in touch with them just by having their NAME in the comment section, the TWO winners are bloggers I know. WAHOO! So Burgh…

PSF – Blown Away!

January 22, 2010 by Elaine

So. I was just minding my business, trollin’ around the internets on Wednesday morning when I decided I would click over to Sitemeter and take a gander at how many visitors I had the day before. And when I looked at the stats for the current day my eyes kinda started to pop out of…

PSF – Prettier Picture – UPDATED*

November 20, 2009 by Elaine

I can be kind of sensitive at times. Perhaps it’s because I grew up with three older brothers that “messed” with me on occasion. Or maybe it’s just part of who I am no matter what. I’ve NEVER gotten and snarky or rude comments on my blog before. EVER. And I still haven’t (knock on…

Blog Friends & Babywearing

November 16, 2009 by Elaine

I occasionally find myself thinking back on BlogHer and missing my friends that I spent time with and met there. My roommate from the conference was Haley, whom I’d met back in January when she came for a visit back when we were still in Texas. And although she’s like a decade younger than me,…

I’ve Been Gifted

October 27, 2009 by Elaine

I’ve never really been surprised at the generosity of people. In my experience my family and friends have always been giving and generous with their time, talent and even hand-me-downs (just FYI, I LOVE ‘hand-me-downs…) BUT. People you’ve never met in real life? Giving you things? It’s still surprising to me. Not because I think…

Rewards & Awards

September 18, 2009 by Elaine

The rewards of blogging are numerous. I’ve made SO very many connections through this site that I never thought possible or even dreamed of when I started writing in this space almost three years ago. I’ve been uplifted by the heartfelt comments left here and I’ve nodded my head voraciously at other posts I’ve read…

Who Knew?

August 30, 2009 by Elaine

I went to the BlogHer conference for many reasons. One was because I consider myself a very social person and I LOVE to meet, connect and well, talk and laugh with others. Especially those who share my same interests. What better place, really? I also went (I’ll admit) to promote my own blog and get…

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,…

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…
