My friend called the other day…

March 16, 2012 by Elaine

In these days of constant busy and growing up little kids and having my mind somewhere else but here, and well, just LIVING, I do not talk to my friends on the phone very much anymore. I see my local friends and we text or get together for Mom nights where we talk in a…

Growing and growing…

March 6, 2012 by Elaine

I spent the beautiful morning cleaning house and doing chores, putting away the clothes of my children. The pants and socks and underwear and shirts that just keep getting bigger and bigger…  There is simply no stopping them.  Just like the babies, the ones that are now kids. I rinsed the same colorful, plastic dishes…

Behind door number one…

February 23, 2012 by Elaine

On the other side of that first door on the left there is a little girl, calling my name.  She is waiting for me to rescue her and provide a snack and some neck kisses and sweet hugs.  Not necessarily in that order. Her smile softens my heart on the daily and the sunshine in…

Valentine’s Day? Kind of a bust.

February 15, 2012 by Elaine

I can’t begin to tell you all how crappy this Valentine’s Day was. And I mean that in more ways than one. BUT.  Since I want y’all to come back and visit here, I’m going to refrain from well, going there. The cookies I planned to bake for the kids never got baked and I…

December 30, 2011 by Elaine

When Tim looked at me in October with weary eyes and said, “I need a break, let’s go somewhere” I of course said, “Yes, LET’S!” I LOVE to travel and have my parents to thank for this, since they do as well.  We went on a family vacation pretty much every summer of my life,…

It Really IS a Hellava Town!

December 22, 2011 by Elaine

New York City is simply amazing.  For SO many reasons.  But it’s extra amazing at the holidays. The hustle and bustle is even more so and there are festive decorations and lights and Christmas trees just about everywhere. I have SO many things to say and could go on for days (and MANY posts!) about the things…
