Before the kiddo, I have to admit, it often felt like my weeks dragged. Now, I blink and it's Thursday and I'm writing up this around here post. It's a crazy challenge to be a work-at-home-parent. (It's a crazy challenge to be a parent. Period.) I feel like I finally understand the expression: "I just wish there were more hours in the day."

But there are not. So I'm figuring it out in the 24 that we are given. (And also taking lots of time for chats like this.)

Thank you for the comments and emails about the three things post. I didn't realize that would resonate like it did and I so hope the concept continues to help. Baby steps turn into big steps, you know?

Tomorrow I am celebrating the end of a girlfriend's bachelorette-hood with wine-tasting in Temecula and then coming home and getting comfortable on the couch with Paul and Ellerie. We've got too many TV shows to catch up on. (Which might be the best problem in the world.)

Friendly reminder ... retired workshop PDFs will no longer be available after Monday 9/30. Grab them here! I am still working on the quilting eCourse but the goal is to have it ready to roll in the next 10 days.

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.
