WW – A Place Where There Were Pumpkins

October 21, 2009 by Elaine

BlogHer Swag For YOU!

August 4, 2009 by Elaine

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…

We had a great time at Sea World in San Antonio and (no, they are not paying me to say that – Darnit!) and after day one we decided to spend all three days there. They currently have a deal where you pay for a day and then can come back all year and because…

Photostory Friday – Coolin’ Down

June 12, 2009 by Elaine

This was supposed to have been MY frozen lemonade but of course once the toddler saw it, that was no longer the case. And if you couldn’t tell, HE enjoyed it immensely…. Don’t worry, I did get a few bites because he took a few breaks to run back through the water in the little…

WW – Tex Rex Takes on Dora’s Casa

April 29, 2009 by Elaine

He came, he saw, he caused l’entertainment center to come down upon Dora and her Papa, he conquered, he left. It was all very fast and furious. I know there is no sound but trust me, that’s the way it went down. For more Wordful Wednesday visit Seven Clown Circus. For more Wordless Wednesday go…
