Friday musings on this & these.

I really liked the link to the Blog about love life not stuff. After reading it I felt that everything that was written is so true. The one part that really touched me was about how sometimes we have issues with getting rid of something that we dont use. I will debate weather or not to get rid of something for days. This artice has given me a new perspective. Thanks!

they are so darn cute. They look so much alike.....Thank you for all of your inspirations and encouragement. Have fun this weekend.

Ali, this is just the cutest photo of your two very beautiful children. It is so sweet how Simon adores his little sister. Anna is changing so fast already.
We appreciate you so much. You are so talented and wonderful to visit every day...you are awesome, missy.

I love the LO of Anna's first days. My little babe was born on December 26th and I have taken a picture of her on the 26th of every month since. I hope to create a layout (or a mini-book) documenting her first year with these pictures. I haven't been really good at writing things down every month. But I think I will remember because this time around I have taken it all in. Concentrated on HER, not what we do for her. It's been amazing and it has gone way too fast. Thank YOU Ali for letting glimpses of YOUR life be shown on your blog. I love reading it every day! I have also gotten some great items from links on here and project ideas too. Thank you!

Little Anna is a clone of her mama. What beautiful children you and Chris have! Thank you for sharing your pictures.

That book looks like I need one. Thank you Ali for being willing to share bits of your life and what inspirtes you with us. It is a wonderful Blog and gives more inspiration and motivation than you could know.

Thanks for letting us come into your life everyday. This is truly a blog that is first on my list to read everyday. It's inspiring, mentoring, and warm. You are so much like me in so many ways, yet different too. It's something I read to help me relax each and every morning. Something snuggly, like a big cup of cocoa. Or in your case, Coffee Latte.

They are so adorable! And the layout is beeeeautiful!

Hey, sweet girl! Love seeing Anna and Simon interact. What a joy.
Big hugs!
Lisa

so very touching moments :)love it:)

Love the photos - the look on Anna's face where she is pulling Simon's hair is priceless. Thanks for such a great blog - you inspire me each and every day.

My Grandma used to tell me when I was your age and my children were your children's ages that time flies and I should enjoy them while they are young. My children are now young adults. I have a doctor, an actor and a chef - all three different. I cherish all the hundreds of photos I took and I can't believe Grandma was so right. Time does fly. Enjoy every day you have them.

Thank YOU, Ali, for being such an inspiration to us!

love the first photo - look at their eyes and nose - so amazingly alike!

Ali check out "a year of lex " on youtube, sweet documentation on a little guy's first year.
Love the photos of the Edwards kids!!!! Especially Anna hanging on to big bro's hair!!
Have a good weekend!

Thank you Ali for letting us in to your life, inspiring us and teaching us to see the simple things in life a little more artistically, and to appreciate and nurture what we have.

Your children are beautiful and I love how your son looks so much like your husband and your daughter like you!!!!!. I love you Blog and also your articles in Creating Keepsakes.I always turn there first and then start at the beginning and read the mag cover to cover!!

Snuggling too tight is an impossible habit to curb. I cannot help myself, once I get my arms around something as cute as Anna - just try to pry me away! I don't blame you for a second Simon.

Oh my gracious gravy! The pictures of Simon and Anna! And hey! When did she get big enough to sit on her own?! Man, time flies! Beautiful photos, I love them!!!

Oh my. That first photo is priceless. He looks so patient. Beautiful kids:)

We love you Ali!!!

Thank you for being a part of mine.

Thank you for this post.
I found your blog a year ago when I was looking for scrapbooking guidance and now have a list of sites I check regularly because you led me to them. Finding words of others that resonate so deeply with me has helped me find my own voice and feel less alone. You can't imagine how much this has meant to me.
