Photostory Friday – Busy as a Bee

March 20, 2009 by Elaine

While I was “busy” pulling weeds out back yesterday and the boys were eating their lunch on the deck, I heard loud buzzing in my left ear. I looked over at the blooming holly bush and realized that there were tons of bees doin’ their thang. I called The B Man over and when he…

Every Child…

March 13, 2009 by Elaine

Every child should be able to do this…. …or have the opportunity to do this… …or even do this if they feel so inclined… I say all this because I believe it. And my new friend Jay is doing a wonderful thing for kids who may not get the chance to do these things. PLEASE…

Photostory Friday – Look Alikes

March 6, 2009 by Elaine

Yes, they look like they could be related but of course they are not. It doesn’t surprise me that people think Anna is mine when we are out and about. And it doesn’t bother me either. As a matter of fact having her around has given me quite the insight as to what it’s going…

Photostory Friday – G Rocks

February 20, 2009 by Elaine

This kid rocks the squiggly straw, the eye lashes and the blondie blonde hair. I love him beaucoups (and not just for those reasons.) Plus, these things help him get away with A. LOT. Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

Signs of Valentine’s

February 13, 2009 by Elaine

I started making these cookies several years ago when I found the original recipe in a February issue of Martha’s main mag, Living. I made them every year and then I had kids. Now it’s sporadic. But this year I was in the mood and I’ve since found a sugar cookie recipe that is SO…

He Really “Nose” How to Pick ‘Em!

February 6, 2009 by Elaine

I spend quite a bit of time telling this child to take his finger out of his nose (he always uses the same one…). Sometimes I just ignore it. I see it while he’s getting a diaper change or in the middle of his play time. I frequently see it in the rear view mirror…

Photostory Friday – The Horse Farm

January 23, 2009 by Elaine

There’s a horse farm and stables right smack dab in the middle of our neighborhood. At the end of one of the streets you can walk right up to the fence that separates the humans from the animals and the area where the horses graze and are fed their daily hay. And the other day…

PhotoStory Friday – I Resolve…

January 2, 2009 by Elaine

I resolve to the love these munchkins with even more of myself than I thought possible. I resolve to cherish the little things that they do day in and day out that make me laugh and smile and beam with joy. I resolve to show and teach them things that will produce these smiles again…

PhotoStory Friday – Little Turkey

November 21, 2008 by Elaine

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek This was my baby on Thanksgiving last year. And since the theme of my blog seems to revolve around said holiday THIS week, even though it’s still 6 days away, I figured I’d post it. Oh and the fact that it’s pretty doggone cute, if you ask me. This picture…
