Church or the Hospital?

February 22, 2011 by Elaine

We have about a 7 or 8 minute drive to church every Sunday and it’s usually filled with noise from the back of the car from the three small people in our life.  Meanwhile, the typical conversation between Tim and I may be about what to have for lunch that day or if we remembered…

Steppin’ Out Saturday and NSV!

February 20, 2011 by Elaine

I’m joining in on Steppin’ Out Saturday (even though I’m posting on Sunday!) over at Harper’s Happenings this weekend.  The whole family headed out to the mall on Saturday afternoon (AFTER I ran a 5K – in 29:55!!! and took the boys to B’s soccer game!) and then to an early dinner. It was especially…

I didn’t want to do it…

February 18, 2011 by Elaine

I cried. I bit my nails until I could feel the throbbing in each and every finger. I thought of how my son wouldn’t go to the school that I couldn’t wait to walk with him to. I thought of how I’d miss the quick drive to our church and all the wonderful people there….

Warmth – You Capture

February 17, 2011 by Elaine

Me and the little girl found ourselves outside for a bit this afternoon. Although it was pretty cloudy it was lovely outside and perfect for exploring. And the sun peaked out a few times, gracing us with its WARMTH.

PSA – DON’T Buy These Jammies – WW

February 16, 2011 by Elaine

So. I do adore this one store. You know the one that starts with “T”, ends with “ET” and has a “ARG” in the middle? Yeah, that one. BUT. It hath failed me. Tim recently picked out some jammies for the boys there and faster than I could say “Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious” there was a hole in…

At the Farm

February 15, 2011 by Elaine

I’ve decided to do something new this week and join with other writers at The Red Dress Club and throw my hat in the ring, or my words on the page.  However you want to look at it… Today’s prompt says this: “imagine that after you have died and your daughter/son will be given the…

LOVE grows and so do babies…

February 14, 2011 by Elaine

Last year, she wore this outfit as a dress while eating her first cereal on Valentine’s Day. My heart burst with love for her… This year it’s more of a tunic and she is ready for “CHOC-ET” instead… 🙂  And my heart may just explode any minute now… (what? she is her mother’s daughter…re: chocolate)…

What? A Croc? (Crocs™ Review)

February 14, 2011 by Elaine

I’m just gonna start off by admitting that I’m not a fan of the original Crocs™. I think they are SUPER DUPER comfortable but the look of them has never done anything for me. So… when I heard from someone with the Crocs™ company a few weeks ago, asking if I would like to try…

16 Months and 10 Days

February 11, 2011 by Elaine

 She wanders into the pantry and points her little baby girl finger up to the shelves. She makes eye contact with me and says “NACK?!” Kinda like her brother used to around this age. I know what she wants so I reach into the box to get one for her whereupon a big smile spreads…
