I posted this photo on Insta.gram on Saturday while we waited in line to see Santa. Or I should say while my oldest son (the only one to actually approach, talk to and sit in Santa’s lap) and the rest of the family waited in line for him to see Santa. Bygones. Anyway, someone commented…
Those Moments (i heart faces)
Our memories as mothers can be somewhat selective at times. We try to remember the best of times. The smiles and laughter at the zoo as the monkeys swing and entertain. Or the deep sigh we take while our child peacefully sleeps with his or her head on our lap, as we stroke their soft…
Whatcha Gonna Be This “Hallween”? – Miss Elaine-ous Monday
My Dad is a funny guy. He likes to tell silly jokes a lot and it’s worth it to hear him tell the same ones over and over just see his big smile and hear his belly laugh. When I was a kid he would often tease me during the month of October by saying,…
Quarterly Top 5
So, I found this new (to me) link up over at Amber’s Articles via my friend Deb at Deb Duty Photography and I thought I would join in. After all I LOVE taking pics of my kids! (don’t we know?!) Here are my top 5 favorites for the last 3 months. It was hard to…
My Two Sons – Miss Elaine-ous Monday
I walk by this photo in our hallway several times every day. I have a very small laminated version of the same one sitting inside another framed picture on the vanity in my bedroom, where I do my hair and put my make-up on every day a few times a week. While I was primping…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday – Soccer Drop Out?
Saturday morning both boys had their first soccer game of the season. And it was G’s very first soccer game (although it might also be his last -I’ll explain in a bit…) First, pictures of happier times… Little G was MOST excited to put on his uniform for the first time, except he’s not really…
11 Hours a Week!
I somehow found myself with 3 whole hours to myself this morning. How did this happen you ask… Well, it’s because all three of my kiddos are now in some sort of “school”! I took Little G and Baby K for their first day at their same school today. K is technically in “Mother’s Day…
Peace – You Capture
We all find peace in different places and different ways. Sometimes it’s just lying in the bathtub having a good soak while reading a favorite book. Or maybe it’s while lounging in a beach chair with waves crashing and a fruity drink with a straw, ready for drinking. Or perhaps during a nice yoga session….
Tour of my Car – Vlogtalk
I’m about to let you see my car. Don’t you feel so privileged?! Please don’t “unfollow” me or “unfriend” me or any of that stuff when you see the back seat floorboard, k? Pinky swear?(wait, how do you do that over the internets??) Anyway, just please don’t. I mean, it’s BAAAAAAD… It’s possible that there are…
The Invisible Rock
Sometimes as as mothers we have no idea what our day holds. Perhaps you’ve carefully planned a day of running at the gym in the morning, nap time for the toddler, Uno time with the 7 year old, reading blogs, hanging out on tweetdeck all while the pre-schooler is at summer “school”. But somewhere in…
