Hooray For The Everyday
Tags:
Found this great catalog in my mailbox yesterday. It wasn't really "found" because I'd requested it, but I was pretty happy to see that tagline on the cover. It's likely I'll cut it out and use it on a layout very soon.
HOORAY FOR THE EVERYDAY.
Such a good reminder. I like the word "hooray." I don't think it's used near enough.
Hooray for uncontrolled laughter in the bathtub. Hooray for small white coffee cups and crushed ice and watermelon.
Hooray for promises kept, clean lines and bagels with cream cheese.
Hooray for Harry Potter and the Wiggles and Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Hooray for cousins and sisters and grandparents who stop by and bring leftovers and sweet peas from their garden.
Hooray for eight-year-olds who can't wait to go back to school next week.
Hooray even for the things that we don't always want to shout hooray for: broken faucets, snakes in the driveway, bills, piles, deadlines, medication, appointments, dog poop on shoes, obligations, upsets, boxes, etc.
Hooray for Fridays and long weekends. I hope yours is full of lots of hoorays.
The big giveaway and the stamp membership giveaway are both open through tonight at 8pm Pacific.

Hooray for IKEA fans! My husband is in charge of catalog distribution so it's his fault if it doesn't make it to your mailbox ;)

Arggghh... snakes?! Where do you live?! And here I am cheering about not having seen a cockroach since we moved here (I always see plenty back home in Singapore! I *hate* them!!). Darn....
But know what? Hooray for bunnies hopping about everywhere... back home, the only bunnies we see are in pet shops, so the kids are so intrigued to see them just hopping around everywhere outside our apt! My kids are definitely loving being in the US!

I'm in Oregon. This new home is awesome in so many ways but in the time we've been here I've already seen 4 snakes (yes, they are small little ones but they are still snakes). It's been years and years since I've seen one outside a zoo. I can deal with just about anything else: spiders, etc...but snakes seem to push me over the edge. It might be the price I pay for the yard I totally love.

Hooray for a new camera and starting "A week of my life" project yesterday with a picture looking down at my dusty, dirty soccer cleats taken a halftime of a hard fought game!
Hooray for the celebration of every day life and inspiration!

Hooray for your new website, Ali! Now that I have had some time to look around, it truly is a work of art. I do have one piece of feedback...I miss having live links for the people who comment on your blog. I used to 'look up' people while reading through your comments and have found some very fabulous inspiration that way. Is there any way that you can bring that feature back?
Replies
Hi - you can still do that :). If the person leaving a comment includes a link you can click on their name and it will take you to their site.
Yep! It works! I must have just been trying ones that had no link. Sorry.

Sorry, can't hooray snakes -- we have them, too! But, fist-pump hooray for Wild Animal Pest Control!
