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…

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…

These are the Days – WW

December 22, 2010 by Elaine

We had friends over to decorate cookies today. Six boys and Baby K was the only girl. Needless to say after decorating and “downing” a few cookies it turned into full contact football wrestling in the back yard. But that’s okay, the weather was nice and boys got some energy out. But my favorite part…

The Little People Are Everywhere and WHY Won’t They Stop Asking Embarassing Questions? {Guest Post}

November 30, 2010 by Elaine

You are ready to laugh, right? Good, because today I have a guest post from Erin at The Motherload that’s gonna make you hee-haw! I love Erin because she’s both funny and often times posts straight from the heart. She cares about our earth, her family and others (not necessarily in that order….) so, SO…

Thanksgiving is evil…

November 29, 2010 by Elaine

I only say this because I gained a “few” pounds over the holiday. Yes, those quintessential “holiday heavies”. Maybe it had something to do with how much pie I ate (and enjoyed). Or the deep dish pizza Friday night. (yeah, I think I sent my carb-deprived body into shock with that one…or two… or three-ish…

A List of Thanks {Guest Post}

November 25, 2010 by Elaine

While hangin’ out in Texas for the holiday I asked my friend Maria from Bored Mommy to do a little guest post for me. Maria is my kind of people and I hope that some day we can hug each other in person. We immediately bonded over cupcakes, upon finding each other in the blog/twitter…

A guest post from a new blogging and tweeting friend of mine… I am delighted to be over here at The Miss Elaine-ous Life today. I had the pleasure of meeting Elaine at Bloggy Boot Camp put on by The SITS Girls. The biggest thing I remember about Elaine from that day was her huge…
