January 4, 2009 by Elaine

Okay, so I am sort of cheating on my weekly winners post this week. Partly because I took VERY few pics this week and also because I wanted to share the real “winners” in my life! It’s myself and my friends who ran/walked a 5K yesterday! And… it was MY FIRST! All the running has…

All Warm & Fuzzy…

December 19, 2008 by Elaine

First of all…. Thank you. Thank you to all of you who left such supportive and heartfelt comments on my post about Little G on Wednesday. Honestly, I could feel your hearts going out to me and my little guy. And your prayers, well I felt those too. I know some may think it silly…

Napa/San Jose Trip Part 3

October 31, 2008 by Elaine

Ok kids, I am going to try to keep this as short and sweet as possible. TRY being the key word here… In San Jose we stayed at the very swanky Hotel Valencia in the area of Santana Row. It’s a really cool area of San Jose with tons of shopping and a pretty happenin’…

Napa/San Jose Trip Part 2

October 30, 2008 by Elaine

On day two we woke up to a day full of aniticipation and I for one was most excited to find out what more all these grapes I’d seen the day before could do for my palette. Our first stop for the day was the Robert Mondavi wine tour which began promptly at 10 a.m….

October 29, 2008 by Elaine

Ok, so are y’all ready to actually “hear” about the trip? You are? Alright, alright! After we got our baggage (please know that it’s important to note here that I arrived with the smallest suitcase of the 4 women – this will be an interesting detail later…) it was time to eat. Obviously we were…

I’m still on West coast time and dreaming of all the wonderful food and liquid that I consumed. And all the beautiful things I saw and all the fun and bonding I had with my girlfriends. Let’s just say the trip was a success in so very many ways (well except for sick kids while…

Good Buddies

October 20, 2008 by Elaine

Our good friends, Chandler & Claudia had their first son, Ethan, about 5 months before we had our first son, a.k.a The B Man. I was always excited to know that our boys would more than likely become good friends too. They don’t look a thing like brothers but I am pretty sure they’d be…

A Girl After My Own Heart

September 26, 2008 by Elaine

Today I received my special swap package from McMommy and let me just say that SHE ROCKS! I am not sure what I liked more, the goodies or her awesome note to me, explaining why she sent each item. But… included in the box (among other things) was some chocolate and a magazine (two of…

September 22, 2008 by Elaine

Just a quick little post for a Monday. I met two special people yesterday. My friend Jodie’s new baby Isaac Luke… Isn’t he just the sweetest (oh and so is my dear friend Jodie, btw!)? It’s true, you really do forget how tiny the brand new babies are… …and I also met Nicole. I mentioned…
