A Slight Reprieve

August 23, 2012 by Elaine

There have been just a few little signs that Fall is on the way around here lately. I know. I can’t believe it either. I mean, this is SOUTH Louisiana after all. But today I found the temperatures in the earlier part of the day to be quite pleasant and I went to get the…

I’m no Tiger Mom.

July 25, 2012 by Elaine

We’ve slipped into this routine of being late this Summer.  And I know it’s going to hurt oh-so-bad when we have to jump head first back into being on time.  On a schedule.  No dinner at 6:30 or 7.  No bed time at 9. I fear lots of headaches in a couple of weeks, for…

You need some Fresh Produce!

June 27, 2012 by Elaine

I have this thing about clothes.  They need to be comfortable AND fashionable.  Gone are the days where I want anything too tight or too funky that it makes me look silly. But, I also do not plan on becoming Mrs. Frumpy Frumperson any time soon (or ever). When I got an email from Fresh…

Things were going along fine…

June 26, 2012 by Elaine

I thought you all might like to hear K’s voice and so I asked her a few questions about our Summer so far. She likes to talk a lot so I figured a little interview would be good.  And it was…until the end. Well, you can see for yourself. She IS cute.  Even when she…

Tips for Road Trips

June 21, 2012 by Elaine

So, you’ve seen the pictures, and the playing in the sand and surf and the happy smiles by the ocean but you know it took about 8 hours to get to the beach and 9 to get home the next weekend right? Yeah, unfortunately it was raining almost the entire way and there were several…

Our Own Photoshoot

June 20, 2012 by Elaine

The last night we were in Florida it was threatening to storm, which would of course be the same night we had planned to do photos on the beach. Of course. (I know I already said that). About the time we were getting ready it was literally pouring.  And then?  By the time we drove…

At the water

June 14, 2012 by Elaine

On Sunday the water on the Emerald Coast was just as it should be, colored in the beautiful blues and greens that it is notorious for.  I could have lounged in my beach chair for the entire day but some dogone kids wanted lunch and needed to rest, blah, blah, blah. It was nothing short…

I had to just close my eyes and point at some photos…

June 13, 2012 by Elaine

Seriously, people. I took so many photos on our beach vacation that it’s really hard to choose which ones to post. So these are just from our trip out there and our first evening. I’ll try to be more discerning in posts to come, but it’s gonna be really HARD. Just F to the Y…

Vacation, all I ever wanted… & MEM

June 11, 2012 by Elaine

I’m currently still recovering from my vacation hangover. DUDE. It’s like I drank the whole ocean and it was spiked.  With bad rum. But it’s all good because my MOST awesome husband ever let me take a much needed nap today and I still got the laundry done and put away. I have a lot…
