The Little People Are Everywhere and WHY Won’t They Stop Asking Embarassing Questions? {Guest Post}
You are ready to laugh, right? Good, because today I have a guest post from Erin at The Motherload that’s gonna make you hee-haw! I love Erin because she’s both funny and often times posts straight from the heart. She cares about our earth, her family and others (not necessarily in that order….) so, SO…
Thanksgiving is evil…
I only say this because I gained a “few” pounds over the holiday. Yes, those quintessential “holiday heavies”. Maybe it had something to do with how much pie I ate (and enjoyed). Or the deep dish pizza Friday night. (yeah, I think I sent my carb-deprived body into shock with that one…or two… or three-ish…
A List of Thanks {Guest Post}
While hangin’ out in Texas for the holiday I asked my friend Maria from Bored Mommy to do a little guest post for me. Maria is my kind of people and I hope that some day we can hug each other in person. We immediately bonded over cupcakes, upon finding each other in the blog/twitter…
Hair, Running and Pie – Random Much? – WW
I’m still getting used to my dark hair. I like it and I think it looks pretty good but it’s just so. Different. At least for me. I changed my profile pic on FB and my avatar on twitter so most of you have already seen it. But still. I wanted my Mom to see……
Let’s Get Stuffed {Guest Post}
A guest post from a new blogging and tweeting friend of mine… I am delighted to be over here at The Miss Elaine-ous Life today. I had the pleasure of meeting Elaine at Bloggy Boot Camp put on by The SITS Girls. The biggest thing I remember about Elaine from that day was her huge…
Early
There are two times when I know my children will be quiet. When they are sleeping. And when they are eating dessert. They get a lot of dessert. And a fair amount of sleep… This morning Little G got up to take a tinkle at 5:34 according to the clock in our bedroom. Afterward he…
Flashback Friday – Senior Prom
So… That’s me and my high school boyfriend (who was a year behind me in school, by the way) headed out for MY Senior Prom. Get a load of this. Standing on my parents’ green shag carpet. Wearing my gold “dyed-to-match” shoes and my hair had just come out of HOT rollers for like an…
Let’s Be Healthy, NOT Hateful.
Do you remember when you first started REALLY looking in the mirror? At your body? Not just your face. I don’t. But I always remember NOT being very happy when I did. Until recently. I’m pretty happy with my size 10-ish, 151.4 lb. (as of this very morning) body. I’ve had three babies. I’ve worked…
Can We Even Classify These as Pig Tails? – WW
I’m not really sure how she got so big. Or how her hair got sort of long enough. Where did my little bundle go? Where did the baby go that spoke nary a word but now says “bye bye” and “nigh nigh” and “ba ba” as she toddles around? The “baby” that now smiles with…
