blooming

March 23, 2014 by Elaine

Last weekend as we drove around the corner of our street where the azalea bushes line the fence, two of the bushes grabbed our attention with their bright pink blooms whereas the others showed mostly only green still.  Tim asked me, “Did those bloom and I missed it?” He’s been working really hard lately, on…

Frozen-palooza

March 20, 2014 by Elaine

Tim brought K a copy of “Frozen” during lunch on Tuesday.  You know the same day that my Facebook feed was filled with updates about buying it at Target and (okay, I’m guilty, I added a photo to the collection, see below… ) how excited people were to get their copy from the UPS guy….

Oh, This Kid!

March 18, 2014 by Elaine

Last week was one of some major milestones for my middle child.  He lost his second top tooth, taking his classic first-grader lisp to the next level – one of epic proportions, I must add.  But even though I can’t always understand him that well right now, I don’t care because it’s so damn cute!…

Ruby Leon Jewelry Giveaway

March 17, 2014 by Elaine

Back in Texas, when I became a non-working mother of two little ones, I joined the local chapter of The Moms Club.  There I made many great friends who were moms of little ones and at home, just like me.  We met for play dates at the park or at each other’s houses.  We talked…

Old School Blogging, Random is Back!

March 12, 2014 by Elaine

I started Old School Blogging last year because I really do enjoy answering and reading other people’s responses to random questions.  Like the “old” days of blogging, when  we were all getting to know each other.  Geez, that was a long time ago!  The cool thing about blogging though?  I am continually making new friends….

So, I can say I’ve done it…

March 5, 2014 by Elaine

I spent a lot of time in the last few weeks, leading up to last weekend, wondering how Saturday March, 1 2014 would go.  Partly for myself okay MOSTLY for myself and partly for my cousin who got married on that date. Several months ago she asked me if I would be the photographer at…

Happy AND Proud #HappyMamas

February 25, 2014 by Elaine

The other day K came home from school talking about “baby Bennett” and that he had a “bo-bo” the size of an orange in his tummy.  At first I was not completely sure what she was talking about, but of course I had an idea.  Later on that day as I was going through her…

I’ve Got This

February 20, 2014 by Elaine

The boys were out of school today because their little school house was burglarized last night.  The two donated televisions that they used to watch educational videos and the occasional movie were stolen and the back window was smashed.  When I drove up to drop them off this morning the police were there.  My boys…
