Cue Ross, "We were on a breaaaaaaaak." Crazy story: three months from today exactly (Christmas Day! Who starts a blog on Christmas Day?!) I will have been doing this for ten years. That's all of my twenties. That's really my entire adult life. It's hard for me to remember a time before blogging or even…

around here I have to add the (ish) because it's been in the high nineties the past few days. I remember this time last year when I told Paul I was totally down for him to take the random billet in the middle of the midwest where the winters were super brutal. When it's this…

It's been a big growing year. Our family is growing. The business is growing. And personally, I'm working on growing and creating some new friendships. A lot happened in really quick succession this summer to make me realize I needed to do this. I think it really started when I wrote this post and mentioned…

appreciating your kind comments on my birth story. reading The Year of Magical Thinking. crossing my fingers that we get some moderately fall(ish) weather this month. re-committing to getting my 10k steps in…August was tough with the heat. ordering a few tiny long-sleeve onesies. preparing to start shipping 2016 GTWBs in just a few weeks.…

I took the photo above of a door at my local print shop. Here's a link to the artist! This week I had one of those days. Those days that come out of nowhere and have me questioning everything I'm doing. NO SERIOUSLY. WHAT AM I DOING? How am I trying to part-time this very…

Today (Wednesday when I am writing this) is the last day of Whole30. I'm super excited to be completing the program. First – I wasn't perfect. Close, but not really. So if you're a purist, I did not complete Whole30. But I did adjust my diet for 30 consecutive days. I did remove all dairy,…

feeling almost sad to have the baby quilt finished and… wondering what my next project will be. officially doing business as Elise Joy, Inc. (what?!) spending a lot of time on the phone with my accountant. 😉 finally seeing Intersteller (it was pretty good!) looking forward to being done with Whole30. joining Ali for Week…

Over the years I have shared many a post about "green skincare." (The most recent was March 2014.) I've spent the last four years intentionally and unintentionally narrowing down the amount of product I use on my skin. Originally this came from realizing some of the harmful chemicals we slather on ourselves. Then it came…

I think I’ve read three life changing books. I don’t use that concept lightly. Harry Potter is great, but it didn’t “change my life”. Born to Run inspired me tremendously when I was running a lot but it doesn’t effect the choices I make on a daily basis. Amy Poehler made me think and laugh…

I am so excited to head up to Portland today for WDS. Last summer Paul came along but sadly it didn't work out this time so it's just me adventuring out. Sort of like a business trip. Actually, exactly like a business trip. I get to travel "for work" a few times a year. Sometimes…
