Random Acts of Udi’s

January 22, 2014 by Elaine

Can we talk Snickerdoodles for a moment? Okay, let’s. I love Snickerdoodles.  I am usually a chocolate of any kind fan but second place in the dessert category goes to cinnamon and sugar so that is where Snickerdoodles come in.  After chocolate chip, they are quite possibly my favorite cookie. I know you wonder where…

Back in the Dating Game

January 21, 2014 by Elaine

A few weeks ago I was coming out of the gym and thinking about my husband for some reason.  I realized there was a perfectly good Saturday night open on our calendar for us to have a date night.  So I sent a text to our regular babysitter to see if she was available. She…

Just You and Me Girl

January 19, 2014 by Elaine

It is already school registration time around here and Tim and I have decided to send K to the same school as the boys in the Fall.  She will be 5 shortly after school starts so I think sending her five days a week will be fine. Of course this means our days of just…

Princess on a Princess Bike

January 15, 2014 by Elaine

All of the kids got bikes this Christmas.  Santa was extra good to them.  He somehow knew that each of them needed new wheels.  And even delivered them to the house where they were staying in a different state.  Santa is amazeballs (do people still say that?) Anyway, the Princess of the house received well,…

In Line at Target…

January 12, 2014 by Elaine

I stood in line at Target behind a woman who bought half the store.  Seriously, no idea how she fit it all in her cart.  I glanced at her Louis Vuitton bag and Lulu Lemon wind breaker and cute braided hair and wondered where her kids were.  If she had any. Mine were at home…

BRAVE

January 7, 2014 by Elaine

Over the weekend I sent my boys off to their friends’ house less than a block away, on their bikes.  I watched as they made it to the end of our street and turned the corner, out of my sight. My oldest was  thrilled to go off on his own, to his friends’ house alone….

So This Was Christmas

December 30, 2013 by Elaine

It is not often that you see a rainbow and a potential pot of gold in December but see it we did, as the kids and I headed to Texas for Christmas.  Don’t worry, Tim met us there after his weekend of hunting…     As you’ll see in the photos below, a wonderful time…

Cellaris Phone Case {Giveaway}

December 20, 2013 by Elaine

Who takes their phone EVERYWHERE?  Oh you do too?  Good to know.  Mine is kinda like a 4th child. When I first got an iPhone Tim said to me, “I want you to have this with you all the time so will answer your calls and texts, k? If you do not have it with…
