Today.
Tags:Today:
I am thankful for the time I spent this past week resting, relaxing, rejuvenating, chatting, laughing, watching, walking, listening, and eating on the Oregon coast with an amazing collection of creative, inspiring, blogging women: Andrea, Jen, Karen, Kelly Rae, Andrea, Mati, Myriam, Jen, Brene, Jen, Alex, and Tracey.
I am cleaning out the refrigerator.
I am planning new weekend creative projects that will begin again in September.
I am listening to Simon tell me stories about his time this past week with Grandma + Grandpa.
I am going on a hunt with Simon for a new purple light-saber.
I am restocking the fridge + picking up some fresh flowers at the grocery store.
I am keeping the laundry going.
I am thinking about signing up for one of Aby's online organizing workshops.
I am feeling better and coming out of that early-mid pregnancy fog + sickness.
I am looking forward to a weekend at home with Simon + Chris.

Hi Ali,
I love the photo! I hope you are feeling better! I never realized being a Mom of 3 was that hard---until last night! I need to find my time again! Thanks for sharing!
Hugs,
Vida ;)

I had no idea you were part of the 'love bombers'until after reading Andrea and Kelly Rae's posts (omg..the picture of Kelly and Miriam...stunning, radiant, so present)...
I have no doubt you came home with SO much more than 'good pics'...(wink wink)
... hope you are over the barfs and moving onto'cruise'

Fun with friends at the beach is always a good thing!
We passed through Oregon and stayed in Eugene last Saturday night on our way home from the redwood forest. I thought of you the whole time - trying to imagine which house might be yours, where Simon plays, where you shop, and where you take photos!
Glad to hear you are feeling better now :))

Where did I miss that you were preggers?!? You probably hate that work. I know I do, but it just came out!! Congrats!! If I had know I would have said something at CHA. Simon will be a great big brother.
p.s. What is going on at CK? Lizzy K, Becky, now you all pregnant. And Ali Davis. I need to get a job there so I can get pregnant. Geese girl! Enjoy every moment.

So jealous of time away with a bunch of 'cool' chicks. I might just have to setup a little get-away for myself soon :)

Wow! It's always so nice to spend time with good friends. It always amazes me how much I've missed my family and appreciate them more when I've been away for a few days...have fun with your boys.
