defining the circles that make me whole
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 [...]
DPP :: Ok with mehPosted by Alli on December 10, 2010
Tonight’s DPP represents me letting go and being ok with something not so exciting. Dinner was kind of scraping the barrel tonight. I need to go to the grocery store, but I didn’t have the car today so I really had to make do with what was in the house. And honestly, I have to [...]
WFMW :: Texting GlovesPosted by Alli on December 8, 2010
We have reached the point in the year when our position far from the sun makes us reach for things like turtlenecks, sweaters, scarves, coats, and gloves. Maybe hats, but I don’t wear them. I also don’t wear coats that often because I feel suffocated. But that’s a post for another day. In the last [...]
DPP :: GingerbreadPosted by Alli on December 7, 2010
First, I can’t believe I forgot to post this yesterday. I took the picture, uploaded it to flickr, and then got distracted. As has been mentioned in the past, making Christmas cookies is not high on my list of fun Holiday activities. But my husband asked me to make some for his office party and [...]
DPP :: BrothersPosted by Alli on December 3, 2010
I love taking pictures of my boys. Getting them in the same picture together is a rare occurrence. Usually Tebow ends up crying, but mainly because he isn’t the only one in the picture. Today I took a drive to Atlanta and spent a few hours at Ikea, picking up some needed closet organizing and [...]
Top Ten Tuesday :: GimmePosted by Alli on November 3, 2009
Okay, since my birthday is next Monday (I promise to remind you every day), I am going with such an original top ten list (sarcasm implied): What I want for my birthday. (BTW: if I link to something on Amazon, it has an affiliate link.) Some of these are serious. Some are outlandish. Some are [...]
Best things in life are freePosted by Alli on April 22, 2009
Yesterday was Free Cone Day at Ben and Jerry’s. Our family made sure to be there for our free ice cream. We went last year and it will probably become a family tradition. When I was taking the kids downtown (with visions of ice cream in my head), Damon called to let me know the [...]
Saturday ShoppingPosted by Alli on January 17, 2009
So, we all left the house today, despite the frigid temperatures. (According to my weather widget, we are one degree above freezing right now.) We had to gather some things for a project of Damon’s, and then there was the trip to Wal-Mart where we returned things and bought things. Getting out of Wal-Mart was [...]
No longer restingPosted by Alli on January 11, 2009
It is hard to keep resting when I know there are so many things I have to do tomorrow. Most of the chores are in the house kind of stuff, but looking at this fridge makes me think a trip to the grocery store is definitely on the to do list.
Photo calendar, cards, and books- oh my!Posted by Alli on November 20, 2008
A lot of photography websites I visit are covering all kinds of photo related gifts and greetings for this time of year. And they all have amazing advice on how to get the perfect family/ children pictures to show off in all kinds of ways. Our family hasn’t been that great at sending out holiday [...]
