When she got up yesterday morning her eyes were red all around and half closed. Which is somewhat normal for me. But not her. She was HOT. Which she’s usually NOT. She coughed a little. I thought maybe it was a 24 hour thing but I should have known better. She was worse this morning….
Hey Blissdom peeps, It’s me, Elaine!
I’ll be wearing different earrings at Blissdom because I CAN. I usually just wear these studs that the hubs (Tim) gave me for our second anniversary because I know a kid can’t rip them out of my ears (trust me, they’ve tried). I may come at you with this face you see above because I…
Honesty in Parenting
I’m not gonna lie. Becoming a parent was hard. And I’m not just talking about the delivery part (although for me that was fairly tumultuous…). I’m mostly talking about the “Oh NO! – WHAT THE FRACK* did I do to my life and how am I completely responsible for this human being???” part. It was…
Check out my rack and the Racktrap! (A giveaway)
The other day I bought an awesome new sports bra for running. So, why do you care? well, I’m sharing this for a few reasons: 1) This is exciting stuff these days with as much running as I’m doing (getting ready for another 10K in Baton Rouge on 2/5). 2) It is the first…
Doorways – You Capture
I do believe the city/town (I cannot seem to decide which it is…) in which we live has a certain motif that it likes when it comes to DOORWAYS… Can you see what it is in the next FOUR photos? And I’ll admit, these last two were taken back in November of last…
Sew…… {WW}
Note: before reading this post, just so you know, all things in fancy brackets are the REAL me coming out. Tim got me a sewing machine for Christmas… per my request. {WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?} I decided to start on my first project last week while people were sick, etc. {WHAT THE HELL WAS I…
Perhaps I should just close the blinds over the kitchen window…
It was morning and I stood at the kitchen sink doing some dishes. Behind me I heard noises. Of the child kind. Lots of them. The toddler was babbling about something while playing with her scrambled eggs. The pre-schooler was talking about what he was going to draw and wielding a crayon. Again. I blocked…
I’ve Got a New Look!
So, what do y’all think? Did you think you were in the wrong place at first? HA! That’s what usually happens to me when a blog I read changes it’s “face”. But, I was ready to simplify and have a new look and the very talented and easy-to-work-with Krystyn of Krizzy Designs was there to…
What’s that saying about lemons & lemonade?
This week has been kinda hard. But then it’s also been good. A dichotomy of sorts. One group of us has been well (females). And another, not so well (males). Tim has been down for the count since Tuesday night and Little G has had coughing and fever on and off for several days. I’m…
10 (okay i mean 13) Photos From 2010 – You Capture
Here are some of my very favorite photographs that I took last year. I had a hard time narrowing it down so I went with a “baker’s dozen” worth of pics instead of 10. I hope y’all don’t mind. And SO MUCH thanks to Beth for inspiring me to take LOTS of pics last year…
