Hair Accessories for Her & Me – Coco Penny

June 20, 2011 by Elaine

A few weeks ago I tweeted that I was looking for some new hair accessories for K to wear in her hair.  I had some cute ones from an Etsy shop but many of them have come unglued and I wasn’t too happy with the quality. Thankfully, Tracy was there for me.  She does have…

Neck Ties & Flash Drives, Oh My! {Happy Father’s Day}

June 19, 2011 by Elaine

The two little kids made Tim some neck tie art while at the nursery during church this morning.  I find it kind of funny since Tim rarely wears a neck tie these days.  And I’m guessing that he’s not the only Dad that doesn’t frequently sport one anymore.  Ties are just so… tight. I wouldn’t…

Rockin’ the Bump!

June 17, 2011 by Elaine

I happened upon this link up over at Shell’s blog, Things I Can’t Say, and just had to join in. I really enjoyed being pregnant, except for maybe the last month or so with Baby K* I had Tim take pics of me while about 30 weeks pregnant with The B Man and I kinda…

Short & Sweet (both the post and the visit)

June 16, 2011 by Elaine

My friend Kirsten and her girls were here for about a day and half, passing through during their #insaneroadtrip across this great country of ours. Kirsten and I originally met in April 2010 when I went to TX to meet up with a bunch of my blogging/tweeting/running friends… Anyway, while here we fed her Cajun…

I can sew & forage for my own food so we’re good

June 15, 2011 by Elaine

I finally finished this dress for K Friday before last.  I had to call in help to get it done but at least I know my limitations, right? And, it has it’s imperfections (which thankfully you cannot see in this picture from my phone). And I plan to still add some ribbon and perhaps some extra notions…

He’s Home!

June 14, 2011 by Elaine

I sit Indian style on the green shag carpet in my bedroom, choosing a pair of shoes for my only brunette Barbie, Samantha.  She is secretly my favorite.  I even washed her hair the other night with my Mom’s Prell. I hear the familiar voice of Tom Brokaw cascading down the hallway but I cannot…

Oh Where, Oh Where Have My Little Babies Gone?

June 10, 2011 by Elaine

I was standing at the sink rinsing dishes and putting them in the dishwasher yesterday, which is nothing out of the ordinary. But in one moment, as I was loading the kids forks and spoons, I was suddenly struck with the realization that I do not have any babies anymore.  At least not technically. Yes,…

Finding Flowers

June 9, 2011 by Elaine

I like to photograph flowers every chance I get and I find them in lots of places… Such as my MIL’s backyard.   I loved this one is color too but only posting the b&w because well, I love it the most. Also found in her backyard… I really like flowers that have lots of…

Tunnel Vision

June 8, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes your wallet gets “lost or stolen” and you cancel all the cards and freak out about not having a driver’s license and you cry a little a lot. And then the next morning you are cleaning up toys and there you find it, where it is presumed the toddler left it after using it…

How We Met – VlogTalk

June 7, 2011 by Elaine

This time I’m vlogging after an emotional day (wallet was lost or stolen yesterday on the cusp of my monthly hormonal imbalance… *ahem*) so forgive the lack of make-up and contact lenses.  If you didn’t know, I’m practically blind but normally wear contact lenses.  I didn’t have the energy to put them in today. It’s…
