“Vintage” Toys

May 17, 2012 by Elaine

A while ago my Mom gave me some old toys out of “my” closet – you know the one that is in her house that is part of the room I grew up in until I was 18… yeah that closet. The box she gave me while threatening to toss it included my little kitchen…

Then and Now

May 4, 2012 by Elaine

I think we get more brave as we get older.  More confident.  More secure in our own skin.  I know I have. The other night I posted this photo on instagram and twitter. I’m wearing that “cramazing” (crazy & amazing make one word!) shoe and its mate to a shindig this weekend for Tim’s company….

I simply could not resist its charms

May 2, 2012 by Elaine

On my way to take photographs of my friend’s sweet baby girl on Saturday morning I happened to notice that a local antique shop was having a tent sale outside. I desperately wanted to pull swerve over RIGHT then and take a gander at what they had to offer and see what I could find…

Just a little play time…

April 20, 2012 by Elaine

I loaded the red wagon with a vanilla wafer and banana snack for each and a drink to share.  They climbed in, both clinging to their favorite lovies/stuffies and their little shoed feet almost touching. We set out for a little walk around the block but K quickly remembered our neighbor’s play-scape that sits in…

The Egg Scramble

April 12, 2012 by Elaine

So, I was hoping to post pictures about our entire Easter, this morning.  But you know what?  I took so many damn photos that I like, even if you don’t that it’s gonna take a couple of posts. I decided that I would just share the egg hunt the first egg hunt anyway, oh gosh,…

Fastest party planner in the South!

April 4, 2012 by Elaine

I imagine Emily Post rolled over in her grave last week when I invited everyone to The B Man’s last-minute birthday party via email and text.  Even I was a tad mortified.  But I knew it was “now or never” on the party and since we were no longer traveling to Austin for the half…

Running A Muck!

March 23, 2012 by Elaine

Last week I wrote about my son.  The one that keeps me on my toes the most.  The one that exhausts me, both in good and not-so-good ways.  The one whose face is so cute that it’s hard to resist. And then the other day while in Target, this happened… On occasion we go to…

Beaucoup de Chiens

February 16, 2012 by Elaine

Have you ever seen such a beautiful Queen? Yep, that’s right, Mardi Gras is already in full swing here in Cajun Country and my living room is littered with the cheap, colorful beads and other crap “throws” to prove it.  When we move from here someday, parades will NEVER be the same for my kids.  EVER….
