Let’s Get Real

September 8, 2009 by Elaine

My life as a mother is not perfect. Quite far from it actually. As I type this my toddler is having a full on meltdown and at this point, is headed to bed over an hour early. Along with his older brother. I don’t claim to be the perfect parent and I don’t ever think…

My Left Side is Tired of Me Sleeping on My Left Side & Other Random Thoughts

September 4, 2009 by Elaine

Can someone please tell me why it’s SO hard to sleep the month or so before baby is born? Isn’t this when I should be getting some of my best sleep, BEFORE baby gets here? YEESH! Get a load of my “cankles!!” (no, they are NOT usually this big…) I mean WOAH. I miss my…

And the Milestones Just Keep on Comin’

September 3, 2009 by Elaine

I’ve been sort of agonizing over what kind of bed to get for Little G. Until yesterday. I made what we call in our family “an executive decision,” and bought one in the morning and it was delivered before lunch time was over. Done. I love it when I finally make up my mind. Although…

Camera Woes

September 1, 2009 by Elaine

I have a decent Canon camera but it’s not an SLR. It takes great pictures. Sometimes. Lately I haven’t wanted to take any pictures with the flash but if I don’t they usually come out blurry, on ANY setting. I can take 15 pictures and get 2 good ones. Mind you, the caveats to this…

WW – I’m Not Gonna Go There…

August 19, 2009 by Elaine

… and call it the “terrible twos” because I just don’t like that term. BUT. I am going to go ahead and call it the “trying twos” because oh my golly have my patience and all kinds of other things of mine been “tried” lately by my two-year-old. He’s cute, yes but lately he’s been…

You Capture – Motion

August 13, 2009 by Elaine

Kids are always moving so once I saw topic for this week’s You Capture, I figured that’s what would be in my pics, if I got around to taking any. I honestly don’t really know how to use my camera for the best “motion” picture,s as you’ll probably be able to tell from the couple…

We Interrupt This Regulary Scheduled Program…

July 29, 2009 by Elaine

… to talk about The Toddler. Y’all remember I have kids, right? With all the BlogHer craziness I’d kinda forgotten myself (of course I didn’t actually forget, you know that, right?), although FULLY reminded when I returned home to the multiple personalities that comprise a two-year old. I missed his adorable smile, his sweet toddler…

In the midst of the big move I was contacted by Simple Shoes to review a pair of shoes from their new Toddler Collection that launches today! Nothing could have cheered me up more. We know I’ve been a little obsessed with baby/kid shoes lately so this was just about the most perfect thing that…

Tuesday Tid-bits

June 30, 2009 by Elaine

* Some strangers packed up all our stuff yesterday. But according to my husband, they were nice strangers. The boys and I are staying away from the chaos that is packing up a home and we are currently living with our good friends until our departure on Friday. Our oldest boys are good friends and…

Photostory Friday – Coolin’ Down

June 12, 2009 by Elaine

This was supposed to have been MY frozen lemonade but of course once the toddler saw it, that was no longer the case. And if you couldn’t tell, HE enjoyed it immensely…. Don’t worry, I did get a few bites because he took a few breaks to run back through the water in the little…
