It's beginning to get a little pink around here.

How fun to have tiny baby clothes in the house! In addition to a closet full of tiny outfits (don't worry that stuff spans newborn to one year), my "real stuff" orders are beginning to trickle in. We have a crib! And crib mattress! And diapers! And my list of stuff to gather is slightly less overwhelming than it was last week! Progress in any department at this point feels fantastic.

Also so exciting : a few of my plants have sprouted tiny green tomatoes already. I waited months and months for this last summer, so I am not sure what's happening this time around. I think it has a lot to do with not over-watering and getting the plants into the correct size containers from the beginning. Or it might just be that the small tomatoes (these are cherry and sweet 100s) develop much faster. Either way, I am so pumped and inspired to get more plants going right away.

Have a wonderful weekend! I am looking forward to visiting with some college friends and celebrating one of my favorite bachelorettes.

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.
