Yes, I’m Going to Say The “B” Word

July 21, 2009 by Elaine

No, not that one. “BlogHer.” As most of you know, I’m going to the BIG blog conference this week and I have an array of feelings to go along with that fact. Included in the list are excited, nervous, overwhelmed, oh and kinda FREAKING OUT! Of course the main thing on my mind is “Oh…

I’ve Come to Depend on You

July 20, 2009 by Elaine

Yesterday was a less than stellar day. I spent the majority of it wallowing in self pity and laying on some soft-ish surface in the house. It wasn’t one of my better days.

It’s My Love’s Birthday

July 16, 2009 by Elaine

All Modern Baby – Giveaway

July 14, 2009 by Elaine

Oven-less

July 11, 2009 by Elaine
