I’m leaving for BlogHer on Wednesday so I want to leave some more a kajillion photos from our trip to Canada up before I jet outta her (Get it, “jet” outta here? I know, I’m hilarious). They don’t need a ton of explanation.  You can probably tell from them that we had a wonderful time!   We…

To Alberta, With Love

July 20, 2014 by Elaine

The week before last we made the trip to western Canada again to spend time with my cousin and her family. Because my cousin Misty is more like a sister, we just call all the kids cousins (and they are technically, just second cousins) and sometimes even say “Aunt” and “Uncle” for my cousin and her…

Reality Bites

June 16, 2014 by Elaine

Do you remember that movie?  It was a classic 90’s movie, complete with Winona Ryder. Also, it came out 20 years ago.  Let the feeling-old feelings commence.   Reality does kind of bite right now though, mostly because of this.  And just a little because Tim and I recently returned to reality, after an amazing time…

Some thoughts, some pictures

April 23, 2014 by Elaine

The other day I walked into the dance studio to deliver K to her class and on the long bench before me sat several mothers I did not recognize.  But then I DID recognize them. They were mothers of little ones.  You know, new-ish moms with kids younger than school age.  Each one sat with…

Easter Ease

April 21, 2014 by Elaine

Have you ever wished you could just beam yourself somewhere?  Seriously, how cool would it be if we could really do that thing they used to do on Star Trek?  (I mean, not really a fan of the show except for that part… I was more of a Three’s Company kind of gal.  Still am…

So, I can say I’ve done it…

March 5, 2014 by Elaine

I spent a lot of time in the last few weeks, leading up to last weekend, wondering how Saturday March, 1 2014 would go.  Partly for myself okay MOSTLY for myself and partly for my cousin who got married on that date. Several months ago she asked me if I would be the photographer at…

We were not expecting you…

January 31, 2014 by Elaine

Old Man Winter found his way to South Louisiana, which I can tell you right now, from my four winters here, does not usually happen. Earlier this week he took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up in the swamp.  Maybe he was craving gumbo… Anyway, he brought with him freezing temps typicllay unknown around these parts…
