Week In The Life : Wednesday

Oh if you want to see how I'm doing with the project check my blog. I have my favorite photos posted there.

Love, how you are documenting with photos this time.
In you BPS class I documented a day of my baby Emilia with a lot of writing - loved the result. I will give it a try next week and make a photo-documentation - I am sure, I will love that even more!

Pick me!

I am so glad to know I am not the only one to leave the dishes dirty overnight. I don't have a dishwasher and to wash by hand takes an hour so sometimes I just let them pile up. Hey, if it gives me more time with family then it's worth it!

That is an AWESOME quote! And thanks for sharing your real life pictures Ali! It's good for me to see people like you even leave their dishes undone;) I always picture your house to be immaculate and find myself wondering many times...How does she DO IT!!??!

Thank you so much for sharing your day. I'll be better prepared to document our lives, I'm hoping, one of these years.

Glad to know that I am not the inly one who sometimes wakes to those dishes that escaped the night before! I find it hard enough keeping up with the 2yo and the baby let alone everything else!

I am lovin' that quote! LOVIN'!!
And those potatoes looked so YUM!

Life....some days Wonderful, other days not so wonderful. New starts are always welcomed when we have one of those days. I can relate. The juggle act between home and career can be quite the challenge. I have an active 2-year old and a demanding full time job. I have to remind myself that house duties can wait so I can cherish the time spent with my two year old and husband. Thanks for sharing!!!!

I'm a SAHM and the days circle into each other. We have great moments, we have good moments, and we have moments that need to be forgotten. The Emerson quote made me tear up. "Begin it well..." as yes, indeed I will begin each day as its own. Only reminding my boys of the good and great moments of the previous days.... and well, the not-so-great moments when we're reviewing rules, ha ha

Do you read our comments? I hope so, because I have a BIG thank you for you today. Not everyone would post a picture of their messy kitchen with last night's dirty dishes still in the sink. I feel so guilty, so bad, so gross when I do this, but there are nights that I just don't have the energy to deal with them. I appreciate your honesty here and allowing me to feel like I might be a little normal in leaving dishes in the sink overnight!

That's one of my favorite quotes. I think I'll be attempting a WITL soon, but not this week. Thanks for all your sharing & inspiration!

I am not taking part in posts this time as I was at a conference all last week and am catching up this week and working on a quilt I need finished by the third week of June for our son's wedding. I love your posts and thank you for the dinner idea! I wasn't sure what to have but loved your baked potato, broccoli and cheese. Your posts bring back memories of when our two sons were small. Loved your quote also. You are very blessed and it reminds us all of how blessed we really are in just our daily lives. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your day with us! You have a lovely family and home. Also, when I started my first blog last year (awomanontheverge - which is no longer), I emailed you a question and you were so wonderful to get back to me. Thank you!

What a wonderful quote!
Really though Ali - we love you human like us, wouldn't feel right any other way.

Hi Lee Anne - I definitely read the comments! Oh man, it's so NORMAL :).

So glad I'm not the only one who leaves dishes out overnight!

Love that quote! Here's another one that you can welcome Thursday with:
"With the new day comes new strength and thoughts." (Eleanor Roosevelt)

Dear Ali,
This may end up being too wording to post here, I promise I'll try to keep it short....I'm just so inspired; inspired to thank you for being so open; inspired to do this myself; inspired to let go of inhibitions because one day these "moments" will be so important. I have to admit, that I won't take photos similar to yours of the house for example because I'm embarrassed. But it won't always be like this. One day the furniture will match, or the kitchen walls and floors won't need repair, or the carpets won't be stained. One day, the house will be quiet, things will be put back in their place and the floors will be clean. One day, I'm going to miss this.
Thank you Ali for sharing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Fabulous quote; I'm saving it. I have too many projects on the burner already to do this project this week, but I have bookmarked it all so I can do it later when I'm less swamped. Thanks for sharing so much of your process and your life with us.
