Flower Farming

March 1, 2012 by Elaine

When I was a little girl my maternal grandparents’ farm was a wildflower wonderland in the Spring.  I loved our trips there during that time of the year because I could break out through the back gate and find myself in an enormous field, full of greens and blues and reds and whites and yellows….

Thank goodness I have LOTS of photos…

January 24, 2012 by Elaine

She’s growing up.  Already. Yeah I know, she’s only a little over two (2 years and 3.8 months to be exact) but when she’s your last?  You kinda wish she could be a baby forever. Maybe this is why I have yet to give potty training a real “go” or I am hesitant to completely pull the…

Listable Life {Fave T.V. Shows} & MEM

January 23, 2012 by Elaine

Today I’m linking up with my friend Nicole for her Listable Life series… One of the choices for this week was to list your top 5 movies or television shows and I chose t.v. shows, so here’s my sorta short list: 1. Friends – this is kind of a no-brainer for my generation, I believe….

Memories Captured – Little G

January 17, 2012 by Elaine

It’s hard to choose just one child to post a picture of when you have three. But sometimes you just happen to snap a shot of one of them that you feel is perfect for the moment. This is one of those pictures. My second little boy, wearing his Cars jammies, standing in front of…

Last Night of the Tree

January 3, 2012 by Elaine

I lounge on the couch with my feet uncovered.  I can feel how cold my toes are but I’m too tired to get up and get any socks.  The rest of me is warm so it seems to compensate for the freezing digits. My not getting up to get socks reminds me of all the…

I miss my childhood…

September 6, 2011 by Elaine

I miss my childhood meals. Well, except for liver and onions. Yeah, those nights I was totally good with a glass of tea and whatever fruit salad and/or vegetable was served. And yes, the sweet tea was excellent. Sometimes it took all day to make it. Mom would put the sun tea jar out on…

Best.Shower.Ever.

August 30, 2011 by Elaine

She only knew my name from a white piece of paper. I assume it was even typed and not written in anyone’s own handwriting. It did not matter if she knew my name or not. She was here for only one reason and she called me “Honey” the entire time we were together. I noticed…

First Time Mom Moment

July 26, 2011 by Elaine

I cleared it with my boss to leave a little early that day. I was excited to pick up my little guy and go to my favorite store. We needed to get a birthday present as well as a few other things. Perhaps I also needed a caffeinated beverage from the in-store Starbucks… Happy as…

It is the same every year…

July 5, 2011 by Elaine

The witch’s evil laugh echoes through our living room as I crouch closely next to my mother on the same couch cushion.  I sit paralyzed, clinging to her arm, practically sitting on her leg.  I can feel my heart beating faster, like it might race right out of my chest, anticipating their arrival on the…
