"How was your flight?"

This morning, as Simon enjoyed his bagel & cream cheese in the company of his sweet cousin Gabrielle, he asked, "How was your flight?"

My sister & Gabrielle (who is just a month younger than Anna) arrived last night from the East coast. So happy to have them here for Halloween.

My sister is a bit of a secret keeper when it comes to costumes so I'm not sure what she's got up her sleeves just yet. For the first time in I-don't-know-how-long I've also got a costume planned. I think I'll keep that a secret too until we get some photos on Halloween. Our new neighborhood is supposed to be Halloween-central so I'm all jazzed up about the prospects to actually have some kids knock on our door.

After Simon headed off to school Jessica and I took the girls out on an adventure to Costco and Trader Joes.

It was a really good morning. Lots of stuff checked off my list home-wise. Even better to have great company along for the ride.

    We live in the woods---so no trick-or-treaters for us---I guess they think it's tooooooooo scary!

    I just adore the photo of the sleeping girls. I'm excited for you in your new neighborhood. Lots of good activity in a neighborhood makes it so much fun. Ours use to be that way. But people have moved and it's not the same. Have a safe and wonderful time Ali. Thanks for all you share on your website.

    Ali, I've been a reader of your blog since Simon was a tot. I remember so many postings of his early achievements like getting dressed without having a meltdown or going off to school without tears. Seems he's grown into quite a young man now. I know you spent many hours helping that happen. I'm so happy to follow along in this success story of both him and your business.

    Hi Ali,
    I have become a real big fan of your (like the other millions of people out there) an you inspire me everyday, thanks :)

    I have a blooger on blobspot which I started a year ago and have really only come back to these last few days.
    I really love how you blog your family life and your creations and I would really like to get mine more out there in cyber land.

    A few questions I'd like to ask, if its ok..

    1: How did you start off. Iv'e been reading some of your entries, but not yet your early ones. Were you just a mum who decided one day to start bloging? Have you done any degrees in anything that helped you along. And how did you get so big?

    2: Do you worry about people out there knowing your personal family life? How do you draw the line where sharing still keeps you safe?

    3: what tips do you have in getting more people following me on my blogger.

    I hope you don;t mind me asking these.....

    thank you
