from the weekend.

I played host to four sweet friends over the weekend. I love showing off my town. I love laughing until I cry. I love drinking wine. I love cooking up a giant batch of spaghetti. I love having someone to run with. I love having someone to collect rocks with. I love talking about the same stuff over and over again. I love getting the gossip about people we went to high school with. I love wandering Santa Barbara. I love finding new restaurants. I love seeing a chick flick in the theater (even when they are a bit underwhelming).

Trunk

I love that I had someone to agree that a new/old $18 trunk is just what I need. And then help me carry it to the car. And then begin the "let's make it fit in the car" game. I love that that trunk is just dying to be painted in an obnoxiously fantastic pattern. (No joke - I am currently considering hot pink diamonds.)

Good stuff, great visit. Come back soon, loves.

Dottedline

And more good stuff on Stephanie Howell's blog today. I wrote a post for her Lovely things month about Paul's deployment and showing him LOVE while he's been gone. I totally cried while writing it. These past six months have been so full of high highs and low lows. But that's life. And he'll be home soon and I'll get to show him our amazing new town.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in Northern California with my husband and our two daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

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. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.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.
