If you follow me on twitter or even good ole FB, you know I’ve started the South Beach diet, as of Monday. And I’m here to tell you, the first couple of days are HARD. I could have INHALED the entire container of strawberries when I was packing some for The B Man’s lunch on…
We’re Off!
So, the kids and I are leaving today for what I’m callin’ “The ‘Woah, I sure have packed our schedule full of activities and people to see in just one short week’ Tour of Texas Road Trip.” Did you get all that? Truly, I’m not sure what’s going to wear me out more – the…
Out And About in Chi-Town
On Friday afternoon Haley and I decided that we’d had enough of being cooped up in the hotel and hit the pavement. We may have missed a session or two of interest and I know I missed a few keynote speakers who read favorite posts that I kinda wished I’d heard (I didn’t know that’s…
Lost Reservation but Great Vacation!
We had a great time at Sea World in San Antonio and (no, they are not paying me to say that – Darnit!) and after day one we decided to spend all three days there. They currently have a deal where you pay for a day and then can come back all year and because…
Photostory Friday – Coolin’ Down
This was supposed to have been MY frozen lemonade but of course once the toddler saw it, that was no longer the case. And if you couldn’t tell, HE enjoyed it immensely…. Don’t worry, I did get a few bites because he took a few breaks to run back through the water in the little…
WW – Gosh My Kids Are Cute!
It’s my blog and I’ll brag if I want to… And, after seeing this picture, if you want to argue with this pregnant, hormonal and always hungry mother, go ahead and try….I double dog dare ya! This was taken in the back of our hotel and the boys were nice enough to pose with their…
A Play in Two Acts – “The Toot”
Act I The Scene: 6:15 a.m. Dark hotel room. Mommy & Daddy half asleep in king-sized bed. Five-year old boy child half asleep on fold away bed. Two-year old boy child AWAKE in Pack n’ Play. 2 yo Boy Child: Benna? 5 yo Boy Child: What Gav? 2 yo Boy Child: Blah, blah, blah, yadda,…
WW – Time for a Break!
This is my friend Mr. Seal letting you know I’m outta here for a while. His mouth is open – can’t you tell what he’s saying? (Or it could be a “Mrs.”, I honestly don’t know….) Anyway, we’re headed down south to enjoy some time at Sea World and various other entertainment parks. I plan…
WW – Fever, Cute Shorts & Snuggles
Little G was sickly yesterday. I kept him home from “school” due to a fever and an understandable grumpy disposition. Plus, I figured he’d get a better nap here at home. In the morning he seemed better but by the late afternoon his temp was around 101.5 and he was just NOT happy. He didn’t…
Time for Two
A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE MAIN POSTER/WRITER AT THE MISS ELAINE-OUS LIFE: If you haven’t gone on a trip alone with only your spouse recently… Go. Go now. Do not pass GO, do not stop to collect $200 (well, unless you need it for the trip!). Just go. You’ll thank yourselves later. Trust me….
