The Food of My People

July 20, 2010 by Elaine

Do you ever wonder where you came from? I’m not talking about the big, HUGE Oh My Goodness, where did I COME FROM??? I’m talking about ancestry. I know all my ‘peeps’ originated in the Slovakian area of Europe, many from what is now called the Czech Republic. I know this because my parents told…

It Was Wonderful…

July 19, 2010 by Elaine

I have a lot to say about our visit to Texas and celebrating my parents’ anniversary. I almost cried several times. Their party and their friends and family and all of their planning made it such a special occasion. But I can’t say it all now because I’m VERY tired from the trip and the…

So Much to Celebrate!

July 16, 2010 by Elaine

Today is my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary (big party tomorrow!) but it’s also my very best friend and most wonderful husband’s birthday! Like the title says… we’ve got so MUCH to celebrate. Anywho, he’s traveling today to be here to celebrate with us this weekend but of course his birthday is sort of taking a…

You Capture – Vehicles

July 15, 2010 by Elaine

I consider it QUITE timely that I happened to be visiting my parents when this week’s You Capture subject is VEHICLES. See… My Daddy likes trucks. And he inherited this really cool one that was my Grandfather’s (his Father in Law, my Mother’s Dad). It’s from the ’50’s… so in my opinion that makes it…

WW – The Power of the Hair

July 14, 2010 by Elaine

Pretty much anywhere we go people comment on Baby K’s hair. It’s EXTREMELY fluffy and soft and well, just darn cute on her, so I can’t really blame them. I’ve just started offering people a little ‘touch’ and then I go home and give her a good shampoo. It’s better than them stalking us, right?…

Blogging Lite

July 13, 2010 by Elaine

I’ll be givin’ the ole blog a bit of a break this week. The kids and I are doing the “Mommy drives all three kids by herself to Texas” gig again on our way to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary this Saturday. Aren’t they sweet? (that cake looks REALLY good right now…) This is…

Tweet Week

July 12, 2010 by Elaine

So apparently you really CAN keep up with my life if you follow me on twitter. This may be a re-run for some of you that do, but I just thought it was interesting to document a week just from my ‘tweets’… First of all, you can know my daily schedule of events:So far today…

You Capture – America

July 8, 2010 by Elaine

America is a great country because I’m FREE to take pictures of whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I can. And it’s really cool when you put your baby daughter in front of the neighbors’ American flag on the day before Independence day and the USPS truck happens to drive by at the same…

WW – My Little Firecrackers

July 7, 2010 by Elaine

On Friday the boys and I made ‘homemade’ sparklers out of pipe cleaners. (should read, I made them while the boys watched and ‘critiqued’ my work). And then on Saturday they had fun trying to keep them away from their sister while all she did was try to put them in her mouth just like…

How I Birthed and Fed My Babies, Judge Me NOT

July 6, 2010 by Elaine

I’ve read MANY posts on this topic or ones related to it since I’ve been blogging. But I don’t think I’ve ever put mine out there. Lately I’ve felt like I’ve been “judged” by the way I brought my children into this world and the way I’ve nourished their bodies. Not necessarily here but in…
