We’ll Always Have Paris – Review & Giveaway!

May 29, 2014 by Elaine

When I was growing up my parents dragged me and my brothers all over the Western United States.  I remember one drive in the middle of Arizona in which we did not meet another car for miles and miles as the burnt orange landscape surrounded us and the two-lane road that stretched on and on…

TILT – Review and Giveaway

April 13, 2014 by Elaine

While at Mom Com in Austin I went into a session with Marci Fair.  At first I was not sure I would get that much out of it because Marci is a classic “working mother”.  She has a career outside of the home, helps spearhead a charity that she founded and she is  busy with…

Family Time & a Fruity Giveaway!

February 16, 2014 by Elaine

This weekend we bonded as a family in a few ways, including three of us running a 5K together.  Yes, a family that runs together also gets king cake at the end together, at least where we live and during the Mardi Gras season… 😉  In this case it’s calories out, calories in – in…

Random Acts of Udi’s

January 22, 2014 by Elaine

Can we talk Snickerdoodles for a moment? Okay, let’s. I love Snickerdoodles.  I am usually a chocolate of any kind fan but second place in the dessert category goes to cinnamon and sugar so that is where Snickerdoodles come in.  After chocolate chip, they are quite possibly my favorite cookie. I know you wonder where…

Cellaris Phone Case {Giveaway}

December 20, 2013 by Elaine

Who takes their phone EVERYWHERE?  Oh you do too?  Good to know.  Mine is kinda like a 4th child. When I first got an iPhone Tim said to me, “I want you to have this with you all the time so will answer your calls and texts, k? If you do not have it with…

Staples Arc Organizing System {Giveaway}

September 6, 2013 by Elaine

I had a small panic attack the other day because I was trying to decide what to do first.  I have a lot of “To Do”s.  Don’t you? I like to make lists and write things down and I had started to put everything in my phone and all these alerts were going off and…

Snack Attack! Green Giant Veggie Chips

August 26, 2013 by Elaine

My boys, especially the nine-year old, are getting to the point where they can put away some food! And when I pick them up from school in the afternoon’s they are SO hungry that they break out the drama and act like there is no way they will make it home before perishing since I…

Udi’s Gluten Free Breakfast

July 31, 2013 by Elaine

I think perhaps I have mentioned that I am not much of a morning person.   I mean, I am all for morning happening except I really wish I could just stay in my bed, asleep for most of it. But of course having three kids and living a full life does not allot for…

June 4, 2013 by Elaine

I am desperately trying to lose a few pounds before my 20 year!!! high school reunion in July and lemme tell you, it is NOT easy this time around. One of the things I KNOW I need to do but cannot seem to actually enact is drinking more water.  It is always an after thought for…
