products above: my top, the wrap, Piper's pants are from Target, the quilt, the banner, the framed art. typing this on my phone with a sleeping baby on my chest. enjoying the newborn phase so very much. Reasons: 1. this is our last baby and I know this time is fleeting. 2. Piper is a…

photo is from 35 weeks, but ear-to-ear grin is the same. I had a doctor's appointment this morning to check on this sweet baby girl and things are looking good. Well, all we really know is that her heartbeat is strong and she's head down… but at this point, that's as good as it gets.…

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…

around here I am really hoping to get my Week in the Life album complete and on the blog by Friday at some point (most likely that will not be 5AM). This is one of those projects that I need to finish quickly or I'll lose steam. I didn't take nearly as many photos as…

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…

FRI-YAY! As mentioned last week, it was Camp Mama at our house with daycare closed. I realize how lucky I am to have a work schedule that's flexible and thanks to some prep work and emails at nap time (which has mysteriously dropped to 2 hours max?!??!), I spent the days on Ellerie's timezone and…

around here we are still doing Whole30. Yesterday was day 10 and so far it's been good. Mostly it just feels like a challenge in meal planning. Which, for me, is really working out well. I don't know how I forget this, but having a real goal in place just works for me. If I…
