Why I Sometimes Hide in the Laundry Room

November 1, 2010 by Elaine

Because when both the washer and dryer are running and I close the door, then I cannot hear him crying. It started when he was about 2 and half or so, if memory serves. Sometimes I try to block it out. The past that is. It was NOT fun. It’s less frequent now but still…

The Robot Book – Giveaway!

November 1, 2010 by Elaine

Both of my boys like books a lot but are obviously at very different levels when it comes to which books they are “reading” (since B is actually reading and G is still learning his alphabet!) But The Robot book is great because The B Man can read it to Little G while he plays…

Autumn – You Capture

October 28, 2010 by Elaine

You know there’s a saying that people are “in the Autumn of their lives”… I think it means they are older and nearing the end of their life. Right? Well, it seems to me, as if we are “in the Autumn” of her babyhood”… It’s as if she is a full on toddler already. Thankfully…

She’s Cuter Than Bristol Palin’s Baby – WW*

October 27, 2010 by Elaine

I took this photograph of Baby K while on our family trip to New Orleans last month. I don’t think I posted it here before now. And I just HAD to for a few reasons: 1. I LOVE it. Like with my heart. 2. It’s a pretty awesome photo and kinda makes me feel like…

Bloggy Boot Camp, Round 1

October 25, 2010 by Elaine

I have a lot to say about this “little” conference. And when I use the word “little” I only mean it in the sense that it has a smaller attendance per city (since it has and will be in a total of 10 places, I think) and in that it is a one-day conference. I…

Instead of 5 posts on this trip to NOLA you just get one long one

October 21, 2010 by Elaine

You gotta love a town where just two blocks away from a street with BEAUCOUPS bars and strip joints there’s a cathedral that has been named a Basilica AND the Pope John Paul II visited in 1987. Wonder if he sprinkled Holy Water on Bourbon St. Now, let me make myself clear, I am NOT…

You Capture – Orange

October 21, 2010 by Elaine

I love it when the topic for You Capture is a color because then you can photograph ANYTHING as long as it’s that color. And one of my favorite “anything”s is nature. So baby girl and I found some. And I took pictures…

WW – Have I Mentioned That She’s Walking?

October 20, 2010 by Elaine

Well, she is. And it’s fun and crazy all at the same time. I still have to do a double take whenever I see her doing it. How’d she get so big? And yes, I’m VERY late with my WW. Hey, at least it’s still the Wednesday. 🙂

These Moments of Motherhood

October 20, 2010 by Elaine

I needed to go. But as I stood there for a few moments longer, I realized I didn’t really need to go. Or even want to at that point. It was the evening of Tuesday, October 19, 2010 and soon I would look at the calendar and it would be October 19, 2025 and he…
