Today I am at Kir’s Corner sharing one of my Proud Mommy Moments and I’m SO honored to be posting at Kir’s place! She’s an amazing writer and one of THE sweetest people I’ve encountered on the internet to date. Her heart is SO big and loving and that’s why she’s so good at sharing. 🙂…
Three on the Fourth
I never publish a post this late in the day but I got out of bed this a.m. at 6:05 to go to the gym and I’ve hardly stopped since. Well besides the fairly relaxing hair appointment I had this morning in which my stylist massaged my neck during the shampoo and it took her .053 seconds…
Cookies are Always a good idea
I was feeling a bit of “mom guilt” since the kids and I never got a chance to bake cookies together before Christmas, what with all the traveling and such. So… we made some post-Christmas, Christmas cookies. Which I think was a stellar idea and we may do every year from now on since we…
The House that B,G & K Built
The kids did a gingerbread house with their grandmother while Tim and I were out of town. I kinda missed doing it with them but she also gave them complete free reign (which I am not very good at. ahem.). Anyway, I think it still turned out pretty well. We’ll just call it abstract, k?…
Berries, Buds & Babies (okay, kids, but hey, they’re MY babies forever!!)
Christmas time in Louisiana can be is always pretty warm. I think the high temp today was around 76. Who knows what it will be on actual Christmas Day. I would guess 65. The camellias bloom in December and January, making it look almost Spring-like in the dead of winter. And the ONLY snowmen we…
Better Days
Today was a better day. We had a lazy morning and then spent some time outside in the nice, 68-degree weather this afternoon. Playing with friends, having snacks, taking a few pictures here and there. I made some “puppy chow” and well, chowed on it. That stuff is good. I may or may not have…
For the record, she did NOT sit in his lap…
I posted this photo on Insta.gram on Saturday while we waited in line to see Santa. Or I should say while my oldest son (the only one to actually approach, talk to and sit in Santa’s lap) and the rest of the family waited in line for him to see Santa. Bygones. Anyway, someone commented…
The Halls are Decked, yo.
We’ve had our Christmas decorations out since the Sunday after Thanksgiving but today/tonight was the first time I really took a few photos. I just love this time of year… This first photo was inspired by my friend Jennifer’s own post today… And the rest? Well, I just like taking photos. But y’all know that…
Over the bayou and through the woods to the zoo we go…
Some photos I took during our outing to the zoo last week… The photo above would be perfect with a family in the center wouldn’t it? I can’t stop looking for great places to take pictures of people since I started doing so. 🙂 Just a few seconds after I took this photo this Llama…
Dusting off the blog & Miss Elaine-ous Monday
This is probably absolutely THE longest break I’ve taken from blogging since like 2009. Or 2008. It’s the truth, Ruth. Kinda sad, huh? It’s sort of funny the stages one goes through when deciding/needing/taking said break. First is the “Ah man, I totally need a break from my blog and twitter and FB! I’m gonna do it!”…
