On Tuesday we drove over to Palm Desert to stay at Paul's parent's time share. We were there for a few days on our own and did nothing really but lay by the pool, drink good drinks and BBQ. On Thursday we got the bad news that Paul was going to have to fly out of LA on Monday for training and the good news that I had reached my sales goal. It was a crazy morning, but we made the decision to chill and enjoy what was left of our vacation.

Paul's family popped into town on Thursday night and my parents came the next night. We did more of the same + played Pinochle. Hang out and do nothing vacations are my most favorite ever.

ps. the final travel updates to my summer book will be up this afternoon.

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.
