Let’s Simplify, Shall We?

January 22, 2008 by Elaine

Well, as you can see, I’ve changed the look of the blog again by choosing a simpler template and I quite like it with my daisy picture. I am still holding out hope to win this contest though! Keep your fingers crossed! I am working out a couple of kinks since chooing this new look,…

It’s a Small (Blog) World

January 21, 2008 by Elaine

So, I am trying to get my blog out there more, to gain readership, etc. and I have been adding blogrolls to my sidebar and trying to become more connected in the blogosphere. Little did I know that someone was helping me do that, without me even knowing it. Let me explain. Recently I added…

Visions of Pancakes Danced in Her Head

January 19, 2008 by Elaine

Last Spring a terrible thing happened in our town. They closed and bull dozed The Country Kitchen. Now, if you have ever eaten at The Country Kitchen, you know exactly what a TRAGEDY this is. For those of you who never had the pleasure, first of all, I am sorry. Secondly, let me just tell…

Little G Talks (Ok, not really…)

January 16, 2008 by Elaine

I had so many other thoughts going on in my head yesterday that I missed the opportunity to note Little G’s 8 month anniversary. What kind of mother am I anyway? Some how I have been blindsided because I have no idea where the time has gone. He’s a growin’ this one, and he’s starting…

Bloggy Makeover

January 16, 2008 by Elaine

Sometimes I sit here and dream about what my blog COULD look like but unfortunately, I am no HTML expert. There are others out there who do know the code and can do a beautiful job to make mine and other blogs look oh so wonderful. All of this being said, A Frog In My…

The Plastic Bag Blues

January 15, 2008 by Elaine

Is anyone else out there tired of the plastic bag? I come home from the grocery store every week with about 10 of them and if this keeps up they will eventually take over my garage. Can you see the headline, “Young Mom Suffocates Under Pile of Plastic Grocery Bags!” I especially like the “Young”…

Enchilada Yumminess!

January 14, 2008 by Elaine

Tim and I made some of our great enchiladas tonight. I am modest aren’t I? I found a recipe a few years ago on the internet and misplaced my printout of it a while back. I tried to relocate it on the world wide web but to no avail. Fortunately, I had made it a…

Red Carpet Withdrawl

January 9, 2008 by Elaine

Is anyone else completely bummed about the fact that there will be no Golden Globe Awards this year? Okay, there will be awards but no show. No red carpet, no fan fair – nothing! I could cry. I am sitting here as I type, watching Queen Latifa announce the People’s Choice Awards ALL BY HERSELF…

It’s A Halo! It’s Feathers! No, It’s Super Fuzz!

January 7, 2008 by Elaine

This is the current, up to the minute state of Little G’s hair (that’s my new blog nick name for him). Is it cute OR WHAT?!?!? I am taking tons of pictures of it lately because it totally cracks me up and pretty much anyone who sees him these days. When we were at the…

Frosty & Rudolph Must Have Missed Their Sleigh Back to the North Pole

January 4, 2008 by Elaine

Christmas is over, right? Well you wouldn’t necessarily know it at my house. Yes, the presents are unwrapped and the decorations are (almost) put away and the cookies are all eaten up but one thing continues… The songs. Ben WILL NOT quit singing the same cadence of “Frosty” and “Rudolph” over and over… and… over….
