Last First Day

September 6, 2012 by Elaine

We missed “meeting” her teacher, even though she is the SIL of someone that works with Tim and we already know her.  I did not go to orientation for the school because one or two of my kids have been going there since we moved here. So, she and I waltzed into her new schoolroom…

Lazoo For You! {review & giveaway}

September 5, 2012 by Elaine

So, this one time at BlogHer… I was standing in line to use the little girl’s room and I started talking to this nice lady from Utah.  I mean, we had plenty o’TIME to chat, people.  And she was so nice.  And then another nice lady behind us starting talking to us too and mentioned…

Hello?!?

September 3, 2012 by Elaine

Hey!! Tap. Tap. Is this thing on? Wow, I feel like a week of my life was stolen from me.  Seriously. At least I conserved make-up. 🙂 For a day or so I was in and out of consciousness while wearing a sweatshirt and fuzzy socks, at the end of August in south Louisiana (completely unheard of…

Blissdom ’13 & One 2 One Network

August 31, 2012 by Elaine

In January of 2011 I made a fairly “last minute” decision to venture to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Blissdom.  I set off to only my second conference, at the time, to room with two other bloggers I barely knew and to see some of my other friends. As I rode the fairly empty bus from the airport…

F to the L to the U

August 30, 2012 by Elaine

I hate to have left such a “not so happy” post up on my blog for the last few days but you know, sometimes life is just well… that way. I’ve been in bed since Tuesday morning with the dreaded FLU. Full on fever, body aches cough, horrible, no-good, very bad FLU. And the kids…

Stormy

August 28, 2012 by Elaine

A storm is coming. And I find that interesting since one seems to brewing inside of me too. I am not myself. I got bad news about my ankle today. (surgery) I have a kid who refuses to listen lately and hurts my heart on the daily. But of course I love him and I…

Tuesdays With Katie

August 27, 2012 by Elaine

Miss K (I think she’s pretty much graduated from “baby”…) is starting pre-school after Labor Day.  She will go three days a week and Tuesdays (and Thursdays) will be our only full days together. Thursday mornings are booked with her class at The Little Gym and what I presume will be a few weekly trips…

School Lunch Reboot!

August 24, 2012 by Elaine

I am used to packing 3 lunches a few days a week but now I am definitely packing two lunches every day for my boys since G started Kindergarten this year! (and no, my kids do NOT eat the school “hot” lunch, by their own choice, which is fine withe me.) In years past I…

A Slight Reprieve

August 23, 2012 by Elaine

There have been just a few little signs that Fall is on the way around here lately. I know. I can’t believe it either. I mean, this is SOUTH Louisiana after all. But today I found the temperatures in the earlier part of the day to be quite pleasant and I went to get the…

When an almost three-year-old reads…

August 22, 2012 by Elaine

Someone I know that lives in this house and is short and naturally blond and female likes books a lot lately. She takes them into bed with her before nap and bed time at night.  She “reads” them while TRYING to go potty (oh Lord help me…) She makes up her own stories from the…
