Friday musings on this & these.

Beautiful layouts and great pictures of brother and sister. Thanks, to you, for your insight, links, sharing your art, and the connection to Oregon and Eugene that your blog provides. Have a great weekend!

Thos photos are SO precious. :)

That anna needs to grow some dang hair! She is super sweet and i love your observation of one pulls hair and the other snuggles a little too tight-what a perfect pair! Great links, especially the one to Zen habits. Thank you.
enjoy your weekend

Isn't it so hard just to learn how to love, like the mechanics of it all? Oh, I had to laugh because, even though my son is the only child (so far) we are having issues with loving the cat and dog just a little too aggressively, or something. But it is all so good. Thanks so much, Ali, for sharing. And, I so cannot wait for your class to start. Very much looking forward to it.

Thanks Ali for sharing your life with us - it is inspirational, and as I have said to you in the past it has helped me immensely with our youngest son who has autism - helped us so much.
Love the pictures of Simon & Anna - man they grow up fast.

LOVE the picture of the kiddos! Have a great weekend!! peace and blessings...

surprised to see Anna sitting up already; the time has passed quickly...and you have it documented! Great photos of siblings in everyday moments! Thanks for sharing all.....................

I love those pics of your two. I can't believe that she is 6 months old! And would you look at that peachy fuzz hair on that girl! Seriously cute. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. And thank YOU for always inspiring ME.

love how it's a baby Ali and a little man Chris. :) Mine (same age difference as yours, when he met his new baby sister) : "Mama, I just love her so much I could SQUEEZE her!" Still doin' it, 16 years later...I know you can't imagine it, but it only gets better from here. :)

Look at that cute picture! You have two beautiful children, Ali :) Glad to see how much they love one another!

Don't you love having the two of them?? Siblings are such a blessing! I was looking at a layout I did from CK in 2004 when I met you for the first time. I made the comment that I immediately connected with you and you inspired me to be me and have fun creating. Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us!

I love that first seven days layout! Thanks for all you share.

The LO of Anna's first 7 days is adorable - thanks for sharing all these things!

That layout is fabulous!
Thank YOU for being an inspiration to me. I look forward to reading your blog each day and to all the great layouts/ideas in CK.

What an inspiration you have been and are being to me. You amaze me with all the great ideas you come up with. My daughter and I were talking about signing up for your class last week. I am 71 and would love to document my past and present. People could't take as many pictures then, as now. Your 7 day lay-out of Anna is so precious. I have a good baby book to get pictures from IF I can find it. I also needed the article you referred us to on too many objects in our lives!! Thank you for today's post. It touched me in so many ways.

Does anyone else tell you that Anna looks like your mom?

Thank YOU for sharing your rich wisdom & insight. Another weekend with that inspiring, creative bunch...sounds wonderful. I hope you gals have a great time.
Happy Weekend~

Love pictures of babies sitting...they sit so perfectly straight,...at attention ready for anything..they loose that before they are 5 usually!

I'm planning to scrap this weeknd for the first time since AJ arrived. That first seven days layout is perfect inspiration.

beautiful photos, family and inspiration again - thanks, I needed it today
