Y’all. This is a good one. 🙂 I dug this baby up from May of 2008! Now THAT is Old School! Ha! It’s just a cute little question/answer meme that went around back then and about all I have time for right now. I hope you will link up with me and the…
Over Lunch…
I sighed as I opened the fridge door, thinking about the fact that I needed to eat some lunch. The little girl in the house had already determined she wanted macaroni and cheese so I pulled one of the microwavable packets from our pantry. The hum of the microwave sounded in the background as I…
Listen To Your Mother 2014!
A couple of years ago I got chills as I sat at my computer and watched my friend Stephanie read her Listen To Your Mother piece. It was surreal to actually LISTEN to her speak her own words on stage since I had read them on her blog for such a long time. And as I…
Halloween 2013 (because it rhymes…)
On the first day of October B asked about Halloween and brought up the fact that he wanted to be a zombie. I grimaced to myself since I am not much for zombies or scary stuff. But the practical side of me did not protest too much since I figured that would just take some…
Pumpkin Bars!
I have been craving pumpkin anything for a while now. I love to eat and drink pumpkin-flavored things in the Fall but so much of what I like includes loads of sugar, that which I have been trying to avoid. Too much sugar = bigger Elaine. That being said, a little bit is okay. As…
To Believe Her
I walked out into the parking lot and put my bag of goodies in the back of the van. I had just left the store with bars of chocolate and a decorative something something for the house and earrings I did not need but thought were cute, so I bought them too. As I started…
Parkin’ It
I’m just gonna dump a bunch of pictures on y’all… That’s cool, right? While in Texas LAST weekend and during our last bit of time in Dallas, we stopped downtown to visit Klyde Warren Park. Well, that is after we grabbed some Pei Wei for lunch. (Dear Lafayette, please get a Pei Wei already). It…
The State Farm* (er, I mean fair)
Our group of eleven ventured in the side gate, jacketed and talking about how chilly it was. The first words out of K’s mouth were “I want to go see the HORSES!!” Tim went to buy coupons and the boys went off to ride the “Crazy Mouse” (with Tim). I quickly spotted the carousel so…
Fall-ish Fun
A few years ago I posted pictures of my kids at the “pumpkin patch” (a.k.a. the local Methodist church that uses their land to host games and treats and imported pumpkins) and the cuteness was overwhelming. (Warning: if you click on that link above, your uterus – if you have one – will twitch). I…
The Little Mermaid {Giveaway}
I was fourteen years old when The Little Mermaid first came out in theaters. I remember sitting in my seat, mesmerized by the animation and songs. My favorites were of course, “Part of your World” but also, “Les Poissons”. I had taken French in middle school and loved that some of the words in the…
