This week marked The End of my alone time.

My mom comes tonight and she'll be here until Paul gets home for leave. And then when Paul's gone again, my mom will come back to help with the baby. And of course... very soon there will be the baby. My new sidekick will make sure alone time is scarce.

It was a quiet last week. I went to Bar Method. Cooked simple meals. Met a friend for dinner. Walked. Played too much Candy Crush on my iPad. Read a bit. Laid on the floor of the bedroom in front of a fan. Got a pedicure and the last of my prenatal massages. Went to bed early. Woke up early. Drank coffee. Chilled.

My last few years have been filled with long pockets of alone time. I can say with certainty that that I have very much enjoyed them, but I am ready for this next adventure and welcome the change.

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.
