defining the circles that make me whole
Living on the edgePosted by Alli on March 7, 2009
This morning our family went out for some errands and fun. I took Tebow with me to Wal-Mart, his first non-church outing. He slept in the Baby Bjorn the entire time, which was perfect, because really, I was living on the edge. We left the house with Tebow in his car seat, and nothing else. [...]
Almost back in businessPosted by Alli on March 4, 2009
Today I was sitting on the couch with my boys and tried to get a picture of the three of us watching TV. I set up the camera on the couch arm and tried to use the remote to get the picture. Fuller was quite active (he just can’t sit still) and I thought this [...]
Maybe tomorrowPosted by Alli on February 27, 2009
Tebow and I seem to have taken a step back in the feeding arena, which means feeding time takes longer and then getting him to sleep takes longer, and it just becomes this Tebow all the time cycle that keeps me from doing anything else. This is kind of ok, but not. Maybe tomorrow I’ll [...]
Aw, ManPosted by Alli on January 28, 2009
The rain this morning threw us off. Besides a botched lesson plan (it depended on being outside), I didn’t have anything to take to a Moms Group brunch. And when I got to Moms Group, I developed a wicked headache. I left Moms Group (it was still raining) and discovered my cell phone in the [...]
Time for changePosted by Alli on January 21, 2009
It’s all happening! Today we all cleared out Fuller’s room (Damon did the heavy stuff) and tomorrow we get new carpet. Then we start with transforming Fuller’s room into The Boys room. This includes figuring out how to arrange furniture and weeding through the toys. This is kind of a monumental task, but I figure [...]
RestfulPosted by Alli on January 18, 2009
I prayed today would be a day of rest and I am so thrilled to be at the beginning of the bedtime routine and feel rested. Church rocked this morning. We had an excellent guest speaker and a previous church member-turned missionary speak during Sunday School. It kicked off a mini-missions conference that I think [...]
Making lists are not nestingPosted by Alli on January 6, 2009
This morning I was seriously bummed about my epiphany last night- I have no nesting gene. My little sister blogged this morning that she too is missing the nesting gene, which actually made me much happier. To combat the missing gene, I decided to use the genetics God did bless me with- list making. I [...]
December 22nd :: Dance of the RoombaPosted by Alli on December 22, 2008
My in-laws came to visit this evening, so most of the morning/ afternoon was spent cleaning and finishing my sewing projects. My special helper, the roomba, kept me going all day.
Self Portrait: Not LazyPosted by Alli on October 14, 2008
Well, leave it to me to start a project and then drop the ball three pictures in. What actually happened was after a relaxing Friday and Saturday, Sunday morning I woke up (at the bright hour of 8 a.m.) with a need to clean, clean, and clean some more. I figured it would have been [...]
Meet the new bagPosted by Alli on August 13, 2008
Hello, I am Alli’s new backpack. In Alli’s mind, I speak with a Mexican accent. Similar to Esteban, the Mexican Mayor/ Drug Lord from Weeds. And no, I do not like to spank women. I just have the accent. Alli bought me from Zappos. This is also where she bought her previous bag. And conincidentally, [...]
