Listable Life {Fave T.V. Shows} & MEM

January 23, 2012 by Elaine

Today I’m linking up with my friend Nicole for her Listable Life series… One of the choices for this week was to list your top 5 movies or television shows and I chose t.v. shows, so here’s my sorta short list: 1. Friends – this is kind of a no-brainer for my generation, I believe….

My Space & Miss Elaine-ous Monday

January 16, 2012 by Elaine

Last week you all saw the desk that I cleaned up and out.  Since then I acquired a new BFF (also known as a new laptop, and no, it’s not from the apple family, don’t start) and two photography actual, legitimate paying customers.  So… I decided that I needed to sit at said desk instead…

Cookies are Always a good idea

January 2, 2012 by Elaine

I was feeling a bit of “mom guilt” since the kids and I never got a chance to bake cookies together before Christmas, what with all the traveling and such. So… we made some post-Christmas, Christmas cookies.  Which I think was a stellar idea and we may do every year from now on since we…

The House that B,G & K Built

December 29, 2011 by Elaine

The kids did a gingerbread house with their grandmother while Tim and I were out of town.  I kinda missed doing it with them but she also gave them complete free reign (which I am not very good at. ahem.).  Anyway, I think it still turned out pretty well.  We’ll just call it abstract, k?…

I know, you’ve had enough. But I still need to show you these…

November 2, 2011 by Elaine

So have you eaten enough candy and seen too many pictures of other’s people’s kids in Halloween costumes yet? Certainly not. C’mon, grab a couple more kit-kats and sit down and look at these photos. You can never have too many of either… right? 😀 A few sides notes:  That first shot is from G’s…

Remembering Halloween

November 1, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes the air was cool and smelled of autumn leaves and chimney smoke.  But many times it was still warm and humid with sweat dripping down my back, causing my costume to stick to my salty skin. It did not matter though, I made the laps around the blocks, pretending to be whichever persona my…

Happy Halloween! – Miss Elaine-ous Monday

October 31, 2011 by Elaine

Our house is already full of candy. I thought the Halloween carnival on Friday night at the kids’ pre-school would be fun.  And it was.  But there was a “trunk or treat” in the parking lot and the kids loaded up! Good thing I can hand it out tomorrow night… And the kids already tried…

A Buggin’ Good Time! – #HEXBUGHalloween

October 26, 2011 by Elaine

Last Friday we had some friends over for a fun Halloween party that included some pretty awesome kiddo “swag”.  Not to mention the kids got to wear their costumes and eat treats. So, it was a total “win win.” The party was centered around the HEXBUG nano bugs – little mirco robotic bugs that my…

Pumpkins & Chickens & Toothless Grins. Oh My!

October 19, 2011 by Elaine

Since the kids were out of school on Monday for Fall break we made two trips to the “pumpkin patch” (a.k.a. local Methodist church that sells pumpkins for mission fundraisers) on Monday. Or I guess you could say one interrupted trip – with a visit to Target in between. This is what happens when you…

Whatcha Gonna Be This “Hallween”? – Miss Elaine-ous Monday

October 17, 2011 by Elaine

My Dad is a funny guy.  He likes to tell silly jokes a lot and it’s worth it to hear him tell the same ones over and over just see his big smile and hear his belly laugh. When I was a kid he would often tease me during the month of October by saying,…
