“I Left My Soul There, Down By The Sea…” *

June 4, 2010 by Elaine

A vacation to the ocean is my favorite. I just love it there. The waves, the sun, the sand. The complete VASTNESS of it all. Somehow, someway, it cleanses me from the inside and I’m reminded how very small we really are. In a good way. I see the power of the water and realize…

You Capture – Favorite Shot of the Week

June 3, 2010 by Elaine

Confession time: I didn’t take very many pictures this week. Egads! I know. And MY VERY FAVORITE one? Happens to be the same one I posted yesterday. But I changed it up a bit for those of you who’ve already seen it. (there are a few of you, I think…) (which one do YOU like…

What Baby K Would Say

June 1, 2010 by Elaine

A sweet, adorable little girl I know is 8 months old today. (crazy, I know.) She cannot talk yet but if she could, here are a few things I think she might say… (I also did this when Little G was about this age and it cracked me up.) From the mouth of my babe:…

You Capture – SKY

May 27, 2010 by Elaine

The rain continued to fall slowly last night as I laid my tired body down. I could hear it on the window. pit pat pit pat. This afternoon there were storms all around us but it barely rained here. I have storms inside of me – things I struggle with on the daily. But I’m…

WW – Grow On

May 26, 2010 by Elaine

Did you just say “uh oh?” Because I did when she first did this yesterday. Yes folks, she’s definitely on the move. And my life as I knew it is now over. Oh, and the 6 year old is officially a first-grader after completely Kindergarten today. Not to mention the 3 year old is now…

Are Three Kids Too Many?

May 24, 2010 by Elaine

Tim left today for a ‘business trip’ in which he got to go back ‘home’ and see old co-workers and some family. And don’t even think about trying to find me to rob my house or anything, now that you know this because I have mean, scary neighbors with big guns. I don’t really know…

South Beach Before the Beach

May 21, 2010 by Elaine

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…

You Capture – Depth of Field

May 20, 2010 by Elaine

I’m still learning how to use my camera. Most of it is experimentation, I’ll admit. And that is no different with this week’s You Capture ‘assignment.’ I just played around with the camera until I kinda figured it out. Except for the first and last pics. They were taken last week. But still. And most…

Stars in Their Eyes

May 19, 2010 by Elaine

Yes, I invested a few dollars of our money in cheap sunglasses for party favors and yes, they were “Made in China” but in this case, I kinda think it was worth it. And yes, Little G’s are upside down. The Birthday Boy can wear ’em any way he wants AFAIC.* *as far as I’m…
