    I was at DSW yesterday and came across some Minnetonka moccasins that I loved. I remembered you blogged about them and googled your post to make sure I wasn’t crazy to buy a size smaller than I usually wear. So your blog is not just a source of creative inspiration but also an emergency shoe-sizing resource. 🙂

    Love it! Question about your podcasts: when you interview Ali Edwards, how did you record the interview, because obviously you’re not in the same place?

    Hi Elise,
    I am really enjoying the podcasts!! Thanks much for bring so genuine. Good stuff.
    As for the nap-strike: if you think she’s missing her Dad, maybe leave a t-shirt of his in her crib at nap time (one that he’s worn a bit that has his scent). This trick actually worked several times with our little guys.
    Best to you!

    Loving the podcast so far and that sneak peek of upcoming guests has me even more excited to keep listening!
    Quick question – are you using the Beautiful Mess actions now? I think you mentioned them before and I’ve noticed your photos are looking more colorful/punchy lately. I dig it 🙂

    Hi Elise! Thanks for your newborn essentials post a while back (as I prep for a baby in October!). Where is Ellerie’s crib from? It’s beautiful. Thanks!

    Working weird shifts is hard. I’m finishing up a nightshift rotation right and was wondering how in the world mom’s with babies (or kids) could possibly manage it. Hang in there!
    P.S. Always love your around here posts! And I’m super excited to see Artifact Uprising on your schedule!! I’m seriously in love with everything they do!

    Where did you purchase the frame for your “make29” print? I have one too and love the way you have it framed. Can’t wait for April’s release!

    Loved getting a little peek into your podcast editorial calendar and so excited to see both Artifact Uprising on branding and Elsie and Emma talking about managing a team. Loving the podcast, it’s really reviving my inspiration. Well done you!

    They really are the days, and they are fleeting, and before you know it she will be asking for your cell phone and demanding to hold her own hand to cross the street…enjoy every second of it!

    Hey Elise 🙂
    I was wondering if you’d consider doing a post about how you balance the day-to-day stuff with your job. How do you juggle cleaning the house and grocery shopping with making things and blogging?
    (have you already posted about this? If so sorry!)
    Thanks!!

    Great roundup of your week! 🙂
    Did you know that there is a 24 hour video clip for Happy? I found it and was hooked! http://24hoursofhappy.com/
    And I can’t wait for more of your podcasts… They are seriously fun! 🙂
