Thank you to all of Ali's sponsors old and new. It's always fun to see these links and poke around for ideas.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July Ali and family. So glad Chris will have more down time with all of you. Can you believe it's been almost a year since you moved into this gorgeous house of yours Ali, it went by so fast.

As soon as I saw your photo for this post, all I could think of was the child safety seats. Both of them are incorrectly strapped in. If you have a local program, you should go to them and have them show you the proper way to strap your children into their seats. I'm not being mean, I've just seen so many things and heard so many stories from my hubby who is a child safety seat tech. Even low impact crashes at 25 mph or less can kill a child if they're not properly placed in their restraints. Okay...enough from me on a non-scrap topic.

Ali I was going to say take a few minutes to un-twist Anna's seat belt, they are less effective when twisted.
Totally appreciate the comments - I actually wasn't driving the car but will have a little talk with the person who was :). Thank you -

Hi Ali! Happy 4th to you as well! And the Paper Coterie link didn't work for me. It re-directed me to your "this link does not exist" page.

Thanks guys - I fixed that :). They should have updated info later today on the special offer.
Ali, FYI, the link she mentioned is pointing to: http://aliedwards.com/papercoterie.com

i love seeing photos of kids sleeping soundly in the backseat. i have fun trying to imagine the life well-lived that has them completely tuckered out.
(((HUGS))) to your family Ali. (i owe you an email soon...you're ever so patient. until then, just know i'm thinking about you.)

Love that little trip down memory lane! It seemed like forever until we would be all out of the car-seats,and now the carseat thing is a distant memory! Hope you have a great weekend!

Hi Ali,
I love your artistry! While navigating through your website, I found a link to an interview that featured your studio at home.
The article had a photo of your cute desk, and I noticed a wooden sign on your desk that says, "Mon Petit Chateau". This is soooo darling!
May I ask where you purchased this sign? Is it part of the desk? Or is it a separate piece? I absolutely love it and would like to purchase one, too! Can you tell me where I can find one like yours?
Thanks a bunch! Your studio looks like a charming little place to bask in the joy of art!

Hi - it's separate from the desk. I've actually had it for years and years - no idea where I got it originally.

Oh, by the way, I love the photo of your children napping in the car. So adorable!
