Thanksgiving is evil…

November 29, 2010 by Elaine

I only say this because I gained a “few” pounds over the holiday. Yes, those quintessential “holiday heavies”. Maybe it had something to do with how much pie I ate (and enjoyed). Or the deep dish pizza Friday night. (yeah, I think I sent my carb-deprived body into shock with that one…or two… or three-ish…

A List of Thanks {Guest Post}

November 25, 2010 by Elaine

While hangin’ out in Texas for the holiday I asked my friend Maria from Bored Mommy to do a little guest post for me. Maria is my kind of people and I hope that some day we can hug each other in person. We immediately bonded over cupcakes, upon finding each other in the blog/twitter…

Hair, Running and Pie – Random Much? – WW

November 24, 2010 by Elaine

I’m still getting used to my dark hair. I like it and I think it looks pretty good but it’s just so. Different. At least for me. I changed my profile pic on FB and my avatar on twitter so most of you have already seen it. But still. I wanted my Mom to see……

You Capture – America

July 8, 2010 by Elaine

America is a great country because I’m FREE to take pictures of whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I can. And it’s really cool when you put your baby daughter in front of the neighbors’ American flag on the day before Independence day and the USPS truck happens to drive by at the same…

WW – My Little Firecrackers

July 7, 2010 by Elaine

On Friday the boys and I made ‘homemade’ sparklers out of pipe cleaners. (should read, I made them while the boys watched and ‘critiqued’ my work). And then on Saturday they had fun trying to keep them away from their sister while all she did was try to put them in her mouth just like…
