Before the kiddo, I have to admit, it often felt like my weeks dragged. Now, I blink and it's Thursday and I'm writing up this around here post. It's a crazy challenge to be a work-at-home-parent. (It's a crazy challenge to be a parent. Period.) I feel like I finally understand the expression: "I just wish there were more hours in the day."

But there are not. So I'm figuring it out in the 24 that we are given. (And also taking lots of time for chats like this.)

Thank you for the comments and emails about the three things post. I didn't realize that would resonate like it did and I so hope the concept continues to help. Baby steps turn into big steps, you know?

Tomorrow I am celebrating the end of a girlfriend's bachelorette-hood with wine-tasting in Temecula and then coming home and getting comfortable on the couch with Paul and Ellerie. We've got too many TV shows to catch up on. (Which might be the best problem in the world.)

Friendly reminderretired workshop PDFs will no longer be available after Monday 9/30. Grab them here! I am still working on the quilting eCourse but the goal is to have it ready to roll in the next 10 days.

    That quilt course getting along nicely it seems. The very first time I was “officially” interested with sewing other than cutting up my father’s perfectly fie shirts to make doll cloths was with quilting. But I don’t own a sewing machine so it was a great fail. I look forwardyour course though.

    I love that stack of decorating books. If you need a new show, check out Bomb Girls. It’s about women who work in a munitions factory during world war two. It’s only eighteen episodes (it was cancelled), so it won’t take you long to get through.

    I think some people mentioned this on an Instagram post you had a couple weeks ago, so I apologize if you already answered. But I was wondering what blogs you like to read. I’m looking for some new blogish reading material, and would love to hear what you keep up with. If you’ve already answered, could you send me a link?

    Elise, WHERE did you find that frame for the California print? (In the second to last photo.) I received the same print for my birthday and it has just sat around because neither IKEA nor Aaron Brothers carry square frames that size! Any leads would be so so helpful!
