My Endorsement Post for Ceramic Floors While Raising Small Children (well except when they hit their heads on them…)

October 12, 2009 by Elaine

So. We were on our own come Friday afternoon when my parents drove away. Ok, done talking about that before the tears well up. Anywho. Saturday morning we had to go back to the hospital to do a blood draw on Baby K because her pediatrician was concerned about her billirubin levels (jaundice) and she…

Of Course Breast is Best But GAH!!

October 6, 2009 by Elaine

So if you follow me on twitter and read my last post, you know Baby K and I are having some issues getting it together in the nursing department. We went today for a consult back at the hospital and met with a very lovely lactation consultant. We tried several things and made a little…

Just A Reminder

August 28, 2009 by Elaine

This is a little video of The B Man (my first baby who is now almost through with 2 weeks of Kindergarten) when he was a day old. It has no sound so don’t think that you are losing it (your ability to hear, that is) when you don’t hear anything. I just had to…

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…

Monday Mumblings

August 10, 2009 by Elaine

My parents’ visit was good. For the most part we took it pretty easy. On Thursday The B Man had a swim lesson and we all swam together after. He’s doing really well and I’m so proud of his new underwater abilities. And even Little G LOVES to swim and is so cute in his…

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…

WW – Freeze Frame

May 20, 2009 by Elaine

Do you ever have that feeling like you just want to freeze your kid, keeping them at the age and stage and level of cuteness that they are at right now, forever? Yeah, that’s where I am right now with this one. That’s why I keep posting his picture. See, I know I can’t do…

What We Pass on to Them

May 19, 2009 by Elaine

I’m a nail biter. Always have been and always will be, at least off and on. Right now, all my nails have “a little white” on the ends but on any give day they could have no white or twice to three times as much as they do now. You just never know with me….

WW – I Keep Making U-Turns Down Memory Lane

May 13, 2009 by Elaine

Apparently I am into pictures from the past this week (referring to yesterday’s post as well…). But, my “baby” is going to be two on Friday and I couldn’t help but think of this picture. He was about 2 weeks old and I had actually put a little make-up on and asked Tim to take…

WW – Capturing Moments

April 1, 2009 by Elaine

This past Monday I found myself outside with my boys in the late afternoon, taking pictures, playing “ball” and watching them eat their lollipops that I gave into, because well, I’m easy like that – what can I say? I was glad to have my camera near by when they both decided to sit in…
