As we are cleaning and sorting and purging to prepare for the movers, it's hard not to think about "how I'll do it next time." For one, I'll keep the house cleaner right from the start. It's not that I want to make up a chore chart... it's just that I can totally see how a chore chart could be instrumental to getting things done.

It's also so easy to start dreaming of this magic (and yet to be discovered) apartment we'll decorate in San Diego. I went through my 50 pages of flickr faves yesterday to pull some images from special spaces.

This reminds me of the mosaic I made up for our wedding back in the beginning. That mosaic sort of kept me on track, so maybe this one will too.

Loving : dark gray, teal, yellow, neutrals, soft patterns & flowers.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
