• A Christmas Message from Elaine and Jim…

  December 19, 2018 by elainesmusings

  It’s A Wonderful Life Dear Friends and Family, As we commemorate the holiday season and reflect upon the past year, our family feels privileged. When I say privileged, I’m not talking about having some sort of unfair advantage or material gain, I am talking about the privilege of acknowledging and understanding our blessings. Our very… Read more

• A Letter of Thanks

  November 21, 2018 by elainesmusings

  Dear Friends, On this Thanksgiving Day as I stand on the precipice of profound transformation and change, I’m called to reflect upon memories made, moments shared, time had and time lost. I once read that gratitude arises from simply paying attention. For me this feels right. Thankfulness is born from being fully awake and present… Read more

• Transition Into Fall With Ease

  September 19, 2018 by elainesmusings

  Is it global warming or perimenopause? I can’t tell. But I do know one thing for sure— I am HOT, people. I’m seeing pumpkins and gourds on porches which is making me itch because I’m not ready to think about sweaters, fur and leggings (OH MY!) Even though fall is upon us, I’m not ready… Read more

• Watch My Video – A Journey To Breaking The Glass Slipper

  August 14, 2018 by elainesmusings

  About two or three years ago, I started writing as a way to connect with women, to share my vulnerabilities and journey. As I was writing, some things happened in my life that shifted the kinds of stories I wanted to tell. As you’ll read in my book, Breaking The Glass Slipper, one of those… Read more

• A Woman’s Greatest Battle Is With Herself

  July 31, 2018 by elainesmusings

  I woke up the other day and as most of us do— I immediately checked my iPhone. The news feeds of the day were downloading and one of the top headlines was, “JLO Showing Off Rock Hard Abs on Her 49th Birthday!” Well, after I read it twice to ensure that is in fact what… Read more

• A fashionable journey.

  July 22, 2018 by elainesmusings

  Fashion has this funny way of connecting us all. We all experience the cyclical trends together. One moment we are all bell-bottomed out coiffing our Farrah Fawcett hair and the next minute we are tossing aside the wide bottomed jeans for wide shoulders (shoulder pads should have never happened) and perms. These moments are cringe-worthy… Read more

• Confession.

  July 2, 2018 by elainesmusings

  I have a confession to make.   A big one.   One that has me feeling like I haven’t been completely honest with you. I consider us sisters, a girl gang, a Spanx wearing, wine loving tribe – and I hate that I haven’t been transparent with you. Over the last 6 months I’ve been… Read more

• The Shoulda, Coulda, Wouldas

  June 24, 2018 by elainesmusings

  As human beings we are often programmed to live life in forward retrospect. While time is moving forward your mind keeps going back. I like to call this a case of the shoulda, coulda, wouldas. Often times this is brought on by menial daily things like ‘I shoulda said something to that mom who looked… Read more

• Fighting the Good Fight.

  May 13, 2018 by elainesmusings

  To the moms who never feel adequate and the moms who wake up tired and go to bed even more exhausted. To the helicopter moms, the granola moms, and the cool moms. To the moms who ever ever wondered how they wound up so #BLESSED and the moms who have locked themselves in closets to… Read more

  Hot off the press.

  March 29, 2018 by elainesmusings

  Spring fever is setting in, and in true Elaine fashion I have started my spring cleaning. Nothing is quite as euphoric as throwing something away. Actually that’s not true- I can tell you several things that are more euphoric, but let’s just say tossing junk is in my top 10. It is around this time… Read more
