I started this idea because I like to peek into your archives and I personally think it’s great fun to go back and read other bloggers previous posts. So here’s how it goes: Link up to a post from August of last year or August of any previous year, depending on how long you’ve been…
I’ve Been Gifted
I’ve never really been surprised at the generosity of people. In my experience my family and friends have always been giving and generous with their time, talent and even hand-me-downs (just FYI, I LOVE ‘hand-me-downs…) BUT. People you’ve never met in real life? Giving you things? It’s still surprising to me. Not because I think…
Rewards & Awards
The rewards of blogging are numerous. I’ve made SO very many connections through this site that I never thought possible or even dreamed of when I started writing in this space almost three years ago. I’ve been uplifted by the heartfelt comments left here and I’ve nodded my head voraciously at other posts I’ve read…

Who, Me??
Things have been kinda crazy in the Miss Elaine-ous household lately as big changes are afoot (of which I can only elude to at this time). Needless to say I haven’t spent much time reading blogs, commenting and twittering in the last few days. So when I did get on twitter for a few moments…
You know you are a mom when…The sequel
Last week my bloggy friend Kristen did a post entitled “You know you are a mom when…” and I thought it was such a cute and funny concept that I asked if I could continue the list from my perspective. So, here’s my “You know you are a mom when”s… – You have to say…
Daily Grommet & A CUTE Giveaway
Last week my bloggy pal Angella contacted me about featuring one of the many sites that she contributes to, Daily Grommet. In return, they would have something for one of the lucky readers here… But before I get to the “meat” of this post about a wonderful site that highlights new and innovative products and…
