August 9, 2011 by Elaine

The B Man is full on reading these days and he just finished the second Harry Potter book.  He starts 2nd grade next week.  I’m not bragging, just mentioning… 😉 So, when I was asked to review the new Super Diaper Baby 2 book I thought he would love it since well, the subject matter…

I’m Already Home…

August 8, 2011 by Elaine

I wrote this on the plane on my way to BlogHer ’11 on Thursday morning.  I’m publishing it now because I love it and because I do not currently have the energy to post any recaps of my experience yet.  I’m both physically and emotionally drained.  Pacific time will do that to a girl, yo. …

You know you wanna peek in my suitcase…

August 3, 2011 by Elaine

I leave for Blogher early Thursday morning.  I’d say “bright” and early except I’m pretty sure it will not even BE “bright” at the ungodly hour that I’m heading to the airport. I thought I had my wardrobe ALLLLLL figured out but things keep popping up in my schedule and I had an idea to wear my…

YOU & Me. It’s Where I Wanna Be- #SummerBlogSocial

August 2, 2011 by Elaine

I’m thrilled to participate in the #SummerBlogSocial hosted by Liz and Jessica because I really like these ladies and their great ideas and because I’ve been blogging for a while. Not to mention, I’m also very “social” so it certainly seems to fit, right? I perused the topics (all 13 of them!) several times and…

22 months is REALLY close to 2 years…

August 1, 2011 by Elaine

I don’t know what I thought it would be like to have a girl.  I knew it would be different of course but I didn’t know how different.  Meaning both that it’s a lot different in general and also, in so many ways. I do think we go easier on her sometimes because she’s a…

We just went in to pick up a few things…

July 29, 2011 by Elaine

We only went in to pick up a few things. Some new sheets since my daughter, Brenda just moved in with me, and a few cans of Dinty Moore. But as usual, things got a bit out of control. It’s just such a good store and I kept finding so many things I could use…

I miss fruit

July 28, 2011 by Elaine

Fruit, glorious fruit, oh how I love you so. .. You taste so juicy and sweet… But, this week I wouldn’t know. I chose not to eat you to aid in losing a few pounds. So someone else I know gets to make those juicy smacking sounds.  P.S. Fruit.  I miss you. See you next…

Sibling Sweetness

July 27, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes I wonder what my children’s relationships with each other will be like when they are adults.  I hope they all continue to love one another and are close no matter what happens in the future.  I even kinda hope that they have little secrets and inside jokes that even Tim and I don’t know…

Water – i heart faces

July 26, 2011 by Elaine

I just love this boy and his passion for the ocean.  It reminds me of me when I was a kid. He was even brave enough to go back in the water after hearing about a little girl that got stung by a jellyfish.  Perhaps more brave than me. Ahem. I also love this shot…

First Time Mom Moment

July 26, 2011 by Elaine

I cleared it with my boss to leave a little early that day. I was excited to pick up my little guy and go to my favorite store. We needed to get a birthday present as well as a few other things. Perhaps I also needed a caffeinated beverage from the in-store Starbucks… Happy as…
