Motherhood is funPosted by Alli on May 9, 2011
I’ve been a mother for over six years now. In all my years of motherhood, I have to say the biggest impression have left on me about being a mom is how FUN it is. No, I haven’t developed sudden Mommy Amnesia, forgetting about the lack of sleep, the diapers, and the sibling fights (probably [...]
Focus :: Letters {I’m published!}Posted by Alli on April 22, 2011
Last week, during post surgery haze, I received a very important piece of mail. This book contains nine images I submitted to Lark after they saw my letter projects on Flickr and approached me. (Sidenote: While some of our flickr photostream is organized, it could be better, I know!) I submitted them at the eleventh [...]
Hey, hey it’s spring!Posted by Alli on March 22, 2011
I always love to welcome the warm air and cool breezes by throwing open the windows, letting the curtains fly, and just basking in the sunlight. Being in our new house this spring is so exciting because our backyard is just full of wildness, buds, and possibilities of fun. Damon has been working the soil, [...]
A boost to the egoPosted by Alli on March 14, 2011
Our family takes an annual trip to the SEC tournament. This year it was in Atlanta and we had a pretty good time. One of the fun parts of the trip is the SEC Fanfare, a place to go and have sponsors give you free stuff under the guise of playing games and subliminal advertising. [...]
Carrying onPosted by Alli on January 1, 2011
On the last day of 2010, I was filled with retrospective thoughts of just how blessed we have been. While it wasn’t all sunshine and roses, we were able to muddle our way to a fully refinished house, sell it, find a new house and move into it. It took us from January to May [...]
DPP :: The Ninjas are deadly and silentPosted by Alli on December 13, 2010
Today I made the Ninjabread Men for Damon’s office party. I also made some regular gingerbread men, but the Ninjabread Men were a bit cooler to make. However, I will note that making Ninja shaped cookies didn’t really put me in the Christmas spirit, as it would most of the time. Instead, I couldn’t get [...]
DPP :: A Double Dip!Posted by Alli on December 8, 2010
Ok, I didn’t post a picture for yesterday. But I didn’t have a picture for yesterday, so today I’m double dipping and giving you two pictures! First, this morning’s sunrise was breathtaking and immediately had me running for the camera. The rest of our day was spent in errands and then coming home to clean [...]
December Photo Project :: 2010 EditionPosted by Alli on December 1, 2010
It’s that time of year again! I signed up for the December Photo Project again, in an effort to remember to not just capture the moments of the season but to reflect on them as well. Thanks to Rebecca for hosting again. I’ve been looking forward to it for about a month.
StripesPosted by Alli on July 12, 2010
I painted stripes in my new bedroom. I really thought it would lend an elegance to the room, especially since they are only on one wall, the wall I see when I wake up in the morning. I’m not a professional designer or painter, but I like them. I like them a lot. Our old [...]
The story goes like thisPosted by Alli on February 25, 2010
My laptop is back in my hands. Or my lap, since technically it is a laptop computer. The laptop was completely wiped after filling up an external harddrive with recoverable things that I honestly thought would be lost to the place where bytes and bits go poof. I appreciate all the kind words in the [...]
