Last week I wrote about my son. The one that keeps me on my toes the most. The one that exhausts me, both in good and not-so-good ways. The one whose face is so cute that it’s hard to resist. And then the other day while in Target, this happened… On occasion we go to…
So this week’s been a little different
Sometimes things don’t always go as planned. Especially when kids and erratic weather are involved. And that’s okay. Monday, Gav had a Trike-a-thon at school and even though he kept telling me he had a tummy ache before school, he still wanted to go. He kept saying the night before, “The trike-a-thon is tomorrow, awesome…
Mediocre
Sometimes I feel like this word defines my life. Mediocre. First of all I want to say that I am not writing this here to get comments that say “Oh Elaine, you are so great, etc, etc….” I mean, if you really think that, then awesome but I’m not looking for it.That’s not why I…
Gluten Free Friend
The gluten free way of eating become a necessity for several people I know, as well as some of their children. So, I asked my friend Becca to write about it since I knew she had adopted it as well… Here is her take on how things have changed and stayed the same for her…
Truly Miss Elaine-ous Monday
The entire family dressed in green on Saturday to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in our own little way. Tim also made green pancakes. On Friday afternoon The B man went on about the “leprechaun” that wreaked havoc in their classroom at school. They came back to find all kinds of silly things done to the…
My friend called the other day…
In these days of constant busy and growing up little kids and having my mind somewhere else but here, and well, just LIVING, I do not talk to my friends on the phone very much anymore. I see my local friends and we text or get together for Mom nights where we talk in a…
I made her a skirt…
During K’s last real crib nap on Saturday (yeah, the big girl bed and big girl naps do NOT go hand-in-hand so far…) I mustered up the courage to use my sewing machine again. MONTHS ago I pinned an easy skirt idea and bought the supplies and everything. But I had a few problems with my…
Cheerio, Old Chap!
I think I’ve watched a bit too many Downton Abbey episodes lately, what do y’all think? (I’m almost caught up, 2 more episodes to go… I hear that last one is a zinger…) The little kids had a pre-lunch appetizer of milk and Cheerios the other day and I grabbed my camera because they had…
Exasperating Boy
As I have mentioned before, one of my children can exasperate me to no end… In the morning he snuggles in next to me in our bed. In the evening he runs wild about the house, literally bouncing off the walls and furniture. One minute he’s asking for hugs and kisses and the next he…
A new bed for you and you and YOU! / MEM
We’ve been rearranging around here since Tim and I sprung for a king-sized bed and had it delivered a week ago. ZOMG, it’s friggin’ huge. And comfortable. And came with a remote or two. Thankfully our queen bed was able to go in the boys’ room and now one of them is sleeping on a…
