Easter Wishes

April 10, 2009 by Elaine

Just a quick note to put Easter wishes out there to everyone. I have much baking and egg coloring to assist with (see my bosses below). But seriously, in the wake of the passing of Maddie Spohr, my heart is heavy and I find myself just wanting to be close to these little guys and…

WW – Oh Target, You Crack Me Up!

April 8, 2009 by Elaine

For some reason I find humor in many of the ads I see for Target in the various magazines to which I subscribe. Obviously they are catching my attention but it’s not like I need any more motivation to want to shop at their store. I mean really people, I should have stock. Okay, maybe…

Wedding Meme, 3B1M Style!

April 7, 2009 by Elaine

It’s been a while since I turned the pages of my wedding photo albums. Life gets busy and we tend to forget to look at the pages of images that capture one of the most important days of our lives. So I just want to thank my friend Three Boys 1 Mommy for hosting this…

And the Mouse Party… A Success!

April 6, 2009 by Elaine

So I know many of you are wondering what it takes to pull off a “mouse” party. Not too long ago, I was in the same boat. But now that I am on the other side, I have to say, it was a great theme for my mouse-obsessed boy and I had a great time…

A Sugary B-day + A New Friend

April 3, 2009 by Elaine

So yesterday, my now five-year old started his day with whip cream and a candle on his pankcakes. Then he had frosted cookies to share at school. And for dessert? A VERY lop-sided giant cupcake. With green sprinkles. a.k.a The Leaning Tower of cupcake. It simply defies the laws of gravity, doesn’t it? Don’t worry,…

WW – Capturing Moments

April 1, 2009 by Elaine

This past Monday I found myself outside with my boys in the late afternoon, taking pictures, playing “ball” and watching them eat their lollipops that I gave into, because well, I’m easy like that – what can I say? I was glad to have my camera near by when they both decided to sit in…

Past Post Parade – March (& A Giveaway!)

March 31, 2009 by Elaine

It’s time for this month’s installment of Past Post Parade. I know y’all are excited, just calm down now, ok? See my little “button” up there? I created it myself in just a few minutes. However, it’s just the image, no fancy html to go with it anything. I’m not THAT good. So, if you…

Just Some Stuff

March 30, 2009 by Elaine

I haven’t done a random post in a while so it must be high time, right? Sure, why not? * It took my doctor quite a while to find the baby’s heartbeat on Thursday. And by “quite a while” I mean it was probably a minute to minute and half but it felt like ten….
