Date Night & Miss Elaine-ous Monday

February 20, 2012 by Elaine

Tim and I were finally able to rectify this last week’s horribleness with a night out alone on Saturday evening. My parents were kind enough to wrangle the kids and put them to bed while we galivanted around this little city of ours.   We dined at a lovely, local restaurant that takes pride in…

Do you ever feel this way…?

February 13, 2012 by Elaine

I cried as I washed the dishes tonight. I try to keep things in this space light and cheery and happy but some days, just are not that. Like today. He snapped, I snapped. No one’s mood could really be changed. He’s stressed, I’m stressed. Life is full of stress. Of course there is much…

I Heart Hearts & Miss Elaine-ous Monday

February 6, 2012 by Elaine

The heart shape is really quite enticing, isn’t it?  It’s one of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day. Or just life in general.  It’s just so cute and symmetrical and pretty in any color. And well, sweet. And since I currently have a little girl, I’m utilizing hearts to the fullest.   I found these…

My Space & Miss Elaine-ous Monday

January 16, 2012 by Elaine

Last week you all saw the desk that I cleaned up and out.  Since then I acquired a new BFF (also known as a new laptop, and no, it’s not from the apple family, don’t start) and two photography actual, legitimate paying customers.  So… I decided that I needed to sit at said desk instead…

Dusting off the blog & Miss Elaine-ous Monday

November 28, 2011 by Elaine

This is probably absolutely THE longest break I’ve taken from blogging since like 2009.  Or 2008. It’s the truth, Ruth. Kinda sad, huh? It’s sort of funny the stages one goes through when deciding/needing/taking said break. First is the “Ah man, I totally need a break from my blog and twitter and FB!  I’m gonna do it!”…

Happy Halloween! – Miss Elaine-ous Monday

October 31, 2011 by Elaine

Our house is already full of candy. I thought the Halloween carnival on Friday night at the kids’ pre-school would be fun.  And it was.  But there was a “trunk or treat” in the parking lot and the kids loaded up! Good thing I can hand it out tomorrow night… And the kids already tried…
