For Today : June 21st

Welcome to Real Life. I love it! You really are wise to recognize those little gifts of the weekend easy time. I 'tried too hard' when I was raising my children and those times slipped away in making sure I was getting things done.
The pic of Chris and Anna fits perfectly.

I love this post. You'll be glad to have documented these things!

What an amazing idea for a page! I'm gonna do it! Recently I've been doing more "in the moment" journaling and scrapbook pages, and this has been great inspiration. PS. I'm glad to know that your living room when you're doing laundry looks like my living room when i'm doing laundry.
Anna is precious

wow ali; it's nice to see some REAL life from your house. :) you always seem to have so many things so together and nice. thanks for sharing with us!

Ali- I come here everyday and love your posts....everyday! :) You are an inspiring wife and mother to me. :) I love the way you live your life. :) You make me smile...you should post more about your Big Pictue Scrapbooking class. :) Sounds fun!
I loved the pics you had today! :)

I'm so lovin' your laundry on the couch picture....good to know someone else's couch looks like mine when there is laundry needing to be folded!! :> Ribs were on our menu last night too. Even though it was Father's Day, made a fab dinner, roasting the ribs in the oven and finishing them on the Q. Have a fabulous week! :>

That picture at the top is perfect! What a great way to document what's going in your home right now!

Really enjoyed this entry Ali, thanks for making me feel thankful :) Gorgeous photo of Anna and Chris :)

When does registration start for the class at Big Picture? I want to make sure I get a spot :-)

Oh Ali I could just squeeze you! Love this blog and I'm so excited to see your new products..woo hoo! I'll be purchasing these: )
I really love the picture of Anna on the couch with the laundry. :) You gotta love doing tons of laundry.

What a great real life picture of Anna!!!! This is EXACTLY what my house looked like when my son was a baby. Really brought back memories (and a good laugh!).

Oh my Gosh, the laundry fairy made a deposit at my house, too.

Thanks Ali... I love, love the bucket seat and the sofa w/ everything. It really captures a mood. I find myself here a ton b/c I love the simplicity of your layouts. Anna is BEAUTIFUL too. I look forward to October's CK.

Thanks Ali - Love the post and the pictures and the prompts!

Great capture!
October issue already?! wow! I didn't realize you had to work that far ahead!

if you're amazing scrapbook style wasn't enough - you also use cloth diapers?! - now I really feel inadequate ;)

Yep - and it's actually november I am working on right now (made a mistake when I was writing this up last night).

loved this post. hope your kids are healthy!

Love the post Ali, this is my favourite thing, capturing the everyday, you have great ideas and you do it so well. I have been going back reading your early posts it is so enjoyable to do, I have a question though, I don't think I have yet come across a post on rounding corners in photoshop like on your pictures above, have you shared this before. Thank you hope you enjoy your week! Love Anna sitting amoungst all the folding!

I love that your house looks like that at times too! LOL!

I'm one of the many, I used to think "only me" who when I had a baby their was laundry to be folded and folded piles. I have 4 kids. Thank you for being so honest.

Ali, this was a great post and a great idea for one of my own. Thanks for your continued inspiration! :D

I love this post! I think I'd like to make this idea into a mini-album.

what a fun photo and post! we are having tom petty "music in the park" in a couple weeks.

cute baby! love the design of your blog!
