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…

A new bed for you and you and YOU! / MEM

March 12, 2012 by Elaine

We’ve been rearranging around here since Tim and I sprung for a king-sized bed and had it delivered a week ago.  ZOMG, it’s friggin’ huge.  And comfortable.  And came with a remote or two. Thankfully our queen bed was able to go in the boys’ room and now one of them is sleeping on a…

I Heart Hearts & Miss Elaine-ous Monday

February 6, 2012 by Elaine

The heart shape is really quite enticing, isn’t it?  It’s one of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day. Or just life in general.  It’s just so cute and symmetrical and pretty in any color. And well, sweet. And since I currently have a little girl, I’m utilizing hearts to the fullest.   I found these…

Moments Captured – Me & K

December 5, 2011 by Elaine

In the morning, when I get K out of her crib, I kiss her face a bunch of times over and over and over again and call her by her nickname of the moment and hug her really tight.It seems like every time, I’m love-struck by the fact that she is mine, that I have a daughter.As…

Two, Tutu Soon

September 28, 2011 by Elaine

On Saturday, she’ll be two.  I’m trying to soak up the last few days of her being “one”. This morning she ran around in a tutu that I tied around her waist, over her pajamas. She smiled and giggled when I was done putting it on her. We went to the kitchen after and got…

A Reluctant Princess

September 2, 2011 by Elaine

When Baby K was actually a baby one of my friends was prepping for a big garage sale and let some of us come in for her “pre-sale”.  I scored several princess costumes and accessories and some pieces were a bit mis-matched.  I didn’t care.  I bought quite a few Disney-themed costumes and other stuff…

Hair Accessories for Her & Me – Coco Penny

June 20, 2011 by Elaine

A few weeks ago I tweeted that I was looking for some new hair accessories for K to wear in her hair.  I had some cute ones from an Etsy shop but many of them have come unglued and I wasn’t too happy with the quality. Thankfully, Tracy was there for me.  She does have…

So here we are at 20 months and 5 days.

June 6, 2011 by Elaine

I could sense Baby K walking into the kitchen one morning last week as I sat checking my email in the next room (the living room, that is).  Things got WAY too quiet and within a minute she had used her counter-height eating chair to climb up on the counter and was STANDING on top of it….

From Smocking to Swarovski

May 2, 2011 by Elaine

I try to take my parenting one day at a time.  I try not to think about the future too much.  Obviously there are things to prepare and be ready for (birthday parties, school starting, etc.) but since having a daughter I have thought about what it would be like to help plan and witness…

I leave you with this…

April 21, 2011 by Elaine

I know. I kinda keeled over from the cute too. Seriously. I put the bands in her hair and the boys saw her with her “pig tails” and I ran to get the camera before she had a chance to pull them out, and me and the boys were all, “OMG, she’s SO cute with…
