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…

BlogHer Swag For YOU!

August 4, 2009 by Elaine

On my way home from BlogHer I was SO grateful that my suitcase has four wheels on the bottom. Do y’all have one of these yet? They are fantastic, especially for a pregnant woman who is almost 30 weeks along and bringing home bottles of detergent and shampoo and well, lots of other stuff. Yeah,…

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,…

Out And About in Chi-Town

July 28, 2009 by Elaine

On Friday afternoon Haley and I decided that we’d had enough of being cooped up in the hotel and hit the pavement. We may have missed a session or two of interest and I know I missed a few keynote speakers who read favorite posts that I kinda wished I’d heard (I didn’t know that’s…

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…

Yes, I’m Going to Say The “B” Word

July 21, 2009 by Elaine

No, not that one. “BlogHer.” As most of you know, I’m going to the BIG blog conference this week and I have an array of feelings to go along with that fact. Included in the list are excited, nervous, overwhelmed, oh and kinda FREAKING OUT! Of course the main thing on my mind is “Oh…

I’ve Come to Depend on You

July 20, 2009 by Elaine

Yesterday was a less than stellar day. I spent the majority of it wallowing in self pity and laying on some soft-ish surface in the house. It wasn’t one of my better days. Probably one of the worst actually. It started out with the boys collectively behaving THE worst they have EVER behaved in church…

Jump Around

July 13, 2009 by Elaine

As you can all see the blog has been made-over! My friend Christy of Ruby & Roja Design did a fabulous job, don’t you think? I super duper puffy heart triple love it! Tim even commented on how the colors are a variation on Mardi Gras colors and how that is somewhat fitting for our…
