The Happy Mama Movement Begins!

January 28, 2014 by Elaine

My kids surprise me sometimes.  I mean, actually, they surprise me a lot.  And of course not always in a way I want to be surprised. Sometimes they come around the corner in a Batman mask to purposely surprise me and I pee a little.  That way is definitely not my favorite. And sometimes they…

The Whole Story

June 3, 2013 by Elaine

Y’all know I love Instagram so much that I would totally marry it, right? Right. But what I find interesting as I look through my pictures is that even though that one moment is captured and put out there for the whole world my 737 followers, only about 20-30 who usually “like” a photo or…

Onward to Bliss…

March 20, 2013 by Elaine

Things have been a little nutty around here lately.  G has been sick off and on with fever which finally culminated into a full blown, double ear infection.  Great times at the clinic today, lemme tell ya! (two restless kids, one sick, one harried mom, waiting for 2 hours, only one electronic device, bored after…

My Little Spies

January 30, 2013 by Elaine

Last Friday afternoon the boys were in the living room playing on the Wii for a bit.  I usually let them play some after a long week at school.  But around 4:30 I hollered from the kitchen into the living room and told them it was time for our walk. From B: “Okay, let’s go….

Just because…

January 21, 2013 by Elaine

The rest of the title for this post should be “I feel like posting about this and that and the other”.  But I thought that was really TOO long.  Like the run-sentence of blog post titles, ya know? Yes, this post is going to be a bit all over the place.  In the spirit of…

Like Forest Gump Said…

December 12, 2012 by Elaine

You know, it’s funny.  I look back through the photos on my phone and I just have to laugh at the random-ness of my life sometimes.  I mean yeah, typical “mom” stuff with pics of my kids, etc.  But just like good ole Forest Gump said, “Life IS like a box of chocolates”, especially around…

I Love it so much I should marry it.

November 16, 2012 by Elaine

I have professed my love for Instagram on here before.  It really is awesome. Sadly, I do think know my “big” camera gets ignored somewhat because of it but… oh well. Here are some of my favorite phone photos from the past month or so. click to enlarge   1. The bridge at the zoo –…

How my mind works

September 28, 2012 by Elaine

I like dessert. I just do. I grew up in a house where a Dutch apple pie on a random Wednesday was common place.  My mother loves to bake and we like to eat what she bakes, so while I was growing up we pretty much always had a “treat” after dinner. (although how that…

I Love You Instagram

July 20, 2012 by Elaine

Underneath one of the pictures I posted on Instagram the other day I wrote that I kinda feel like it (instagram) is becoming my “mini-blog”.  And I’m not sure how I feel about that.  I mean obviously, I am HERE posting, most days and I still love my “big blog” and of course the people who read…
