PSF – Blown Away!

January 22, 2010 by Elaine

So. I was just minding my business, trollin’ around the internets on Wednesday morning when I decided I would click over to Sitemeter and take a gander at how many visitors I had the day before. And when I looked at the stats for the current day my eyes kinda started to pop out of…

You Capture – Love Around My Home

January 21, 2010 by Elaine

Love is all around as they say. Obviously we know I love my husband and children and all of my family for that matter. But there are certain things that make a house a “home.” Things that just “speak” to us and make our hearts soar. Here are a few of mine… I bought this…

WW – I Can’t Stop!

January 20, 2010 by Elaine

Ever since I got my new baby camera, I can’t stop taking pictures. The poor kids constantly have the camera in their face. Especially the baby girl. I’m not sure what she’s thinking in this one but I’m guessing it’s something to the effect of “Hey crazy lady could you possibly take that thing out…

Weekly Weigh In – Week 3

January 20, 2010 by Elaine

So, this week, not so good. I feel stuck. I keep fluctuating between the same 2-4 lbs. Up and down, back and forth and guess what!? This week – back up 1.2 lbs. I could say a really bad word right now but I don’t have that kind of blog. ; ) Anyway, I teared…

Love and Prayers for Haiti

January 19, 2010 by Elaine

As I click around my little corner of the blogo-sphere this week I feel like I’m about the only person who hasn’t said something about the tragic earthquake in Haiti. It’s not that I don’t know it happened and it’s certainly NOT that I don’t feel for the people of that nation and pray for…

On My Body and Soreness and Age, etc, etc, etc

January 17, 2010 by Elaine

WARNING: This post might be a little rambly. (as if you couldn’t tell from the title…) So, as we know, I’ve started working out again. And it’s going pretty well. Except. My body doesn’t seem to like it as much as it used to. In the last two weeks I’ve had SEVERE soreness in my…

Three And Half Months

January 15, 2010 by Elaine

She’s smiling like crazy. She needs the paci to settle down at night. She’s sorta getting a schedule. (especially in the mornings). She’s outgrowing clothes. She’s babbling and cooing a lot. She’s sleeping through the night. (God bless her!) She enjoys her play mat on the floor. She’s not as fond of the bumbo chair….

And Now We’re Gonna Talk Muffins (A Giveaway!)

January 14, 2010 by Elaine

***THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!*** We are quite fond of muffins around here for breakfast and snacks. Many times I will make them from scratch but I also TOTALLY appreciate the convenience of a boxed mix. Just add a couple of things and VOILA! into the oven they go! Back before the holiday I was…

You Capture – Winter

January 14, 2010 by Elaine

I took these photos on the very same Winter day. No, we don’t have snow, we have Camellias. And they are PRETTY. Make no mistake, it has been cold here lately. At least for this Southern girl. Show your Winter images at Beth’s place – You Capture.
