August 31, 2014 by Elaine

August 13, 2014 by Elaine

My boys went back to school today (and K starts on Monday!) so you know what that means right?  Even though technically, there is still over a month of Summer left, it’s over.  The lazy mornings and pool time and PJ days are a thing of the past.  Well, until next June anyway. And here’s…

Take The Long Way Home

August 7, 2014 by Elaine

My oldest kiddo went to sleep-away camp for the first time last week.  He was dropped off by Tim while I was on my way home from BlogHer.  That wasn’t a really fun feeling, by the way – your kid being dropped off to somewhere they have never been before whilst you get to miss…

Canadian Fun!

July 21, 2014 by Elaine

I’m leaving for BlogHer on Wednesday so I want to leave some more a kajillion photos from our trip to Canada up before I jet outta her (Get it, “jet” outta here? I know, I’m hilarious). They don’t need a ton of explanation.  You can probably tell from them that we had a wonderful time!   We…

Frozen-palooza

March 20, 2014 by Elaine

Tim brought K a copy of “Frozen” during lunch on Tuesday.  You know the same day that my Facebook feed was filled with updates about buying it at Target and (okay, I’m guilty, I added a photo to the collection, see below… ) how excited people were to get their copy from the UPS guy….

Old School Blogging, Random is Back!

March 12, 2014 by Elaine

I started Old School Blogging last year because I really do enjoy answering and reading other people’s responses to random questions.  Like the “old” days of blogging, when  we were all getting to know each other.  Geez, that was a long time ago!  The cool thing about blogging though?  I am continually making new friends….

Princess on a Princess Bike

January 15, 2014 by Elaine

All of the kids got bikes this Christmas.  Santa was extra good to them.  He somehow knew that each of them needed new wheels.  And even delivered them to the house where they were staying in a different state.  Santa is amazeballs (do people still say that?) Anyway, the Princess of the house received well,…
