Old School Blogging, June

June 6, 2013 by Elaine

I originally posted the answers to this Old School meme back in July of 2008!  Some of them have changed out of preference and some have stayed the same since they are fact.  It was still fun to go back and read my almost five-year old answers though.  Apparently my love for chocolate has waned…

The Gavinator is SIX!

May 15, 2013 by Elaine

When Gavin was born I remember watching the American Idol finale from my hospital bed.  It was the year that Jordan Sparks won.  She beat Blake.  And I knew she would, but I just liked him so much, I was rooting for him.  He was really cool and different. I also remember the nurse I…

Minted Giveaway!

April 15, 2013 by Elaine

Minted stationary has come through my mailbox a few times, mostly from my friend Haley.  She sends Christmas cards from them and the quality is always really wonderful. I have also seen some of their business cards and was impressed with those as well.  And, well, I just like pretty paper. Here is a lovely quote…

An Evening at Target

April 12, 2013 by Elaine

Our church is located pretty close to a Target. Why do you need to know this information?  Well, the fact that it is geographically convenient  for me to go shopping there on a Wednesday night, that’s why. I have church choir rehearsal on Wednesday evenings.  And Tim is either home with the children, or I…
