Birthday Trifecta

March 30, 2010 by Elaine

We celebrated three birthdays in some form or fashion this past weekend. The bowling party was a little hectic (Little G was crowned King of “WHINEALOT” after it was over) but The B Man had a great time with some of his new friends and that’s what really counts. Oh and he had a Transformer…

Two Winners!

February 9, 2010 by Elaine

Let’s keep this short and sweet! The winner of the Halo Sleep Sack is sweet Audrey from The Lewis 4. She said she will give it as a gift which I think is a fabulous idea! And the winner of the Suave Kids body washes is Zak from Raising Colorado. She has a couple of…

January 24, 2010 by Elaine

Wanna know something fun? There are TWO winners for the muffin giveaway. AND?

Will Travel for Sweets (& Friends!)

January 11, 2010 by Elaine

As I drove into the city with my sweet baby girl in tow (who was a FAB-U-LOUS traveler!) I almost started crying because I miss IT. I am TOTALLY a city girl. Not a country girl, not a kinda small town girl, but a CITY GIRL. Baby K was ready for our weekend of sweets….

My Outing Today, This Weekend and ANOTHER Blog

January 8, 2010 by Elaine

Let me set the scene for you: Three kids, including an infant IN an infant carrier. Toddler with “space & rockets” p.j.s and dirty socks. No shoes. Kindergartener still in school uniform and his coat (actually looking pretty good). Mom who decides on a whim that it’s a good idea to drive to a certain…

Emotional

December 17, 2009 by Elaine

I drove up close to the mailbox like I do almost every day after picking up The B Man from school. He rolled down his window, opened the box and grabbed up the envelopes and fliers. He handed them to me and I was happy to count seven Christmas cards amongst the pile and see…

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…

The First Few Days…

October 5, 2009 by Elaine

(click to enlarge – welcome home sign made by The B Man – isn’t that the sweetest thing??) Well, we are home and things are going pretty well. Baby K is not all that into breastfeeding, unfortunately and today or tomorrow I plan to see a lactation consultant as well as try some things that…

I Wish…

September 28, 2009 by Elaine

Not too long ago my friend Maria at Bored Mommy posted a list which she titled “I Wish.” I hope she doesn’t mind that I’m borrowing her idea today… … for it to be Thursday (THIS Thursday). … for everything to go well on Thursday. … for baby K to be healthy (I also pray…
