  17. Hi Elaine

    Very interesting meme. We share similar passions. I love learning new things about my blogging friends.

    That’s the only way to eat spaghetti when you’re one – with no shirt. The messier the more enjoyment one (that is the little one, not the person doing the clean up) derives.

    Love
    Elise

  18. I
    Have a grand time back home!! I bet the boys do better than Nadia did – but that’s not saying a whole lot, haha!

    Your “8 things I say a lot” had me cracking up!
