Ali is such an inspiring person…both in being a mom and documenting their stories.
-
Ali is just one of those people who seem to make life seem so easy. I am constantly inspired by her.
-
Ali is a one-step-at-a-time entrepreneur. I love how she shares some circles of her everyday, but I also appreciate that there is an approachable professionalism to her entire style. She is a role-model on so many levels. Go Ali!

Ali continues to inspire not just my everyday life scrapbooking and memory keeping but my everyday life as well. I have taken her classes at Big Picture and read her blog for several years. I have learned all types of scrapbooking, improved my photography, ignited a passion for sharing stories and am constantly inspired by her life approach. Favorite quotes from Ali: “Don’t make it more complicated than it needs to be” “one thing at a time” “hooray!” lots of hoorays and general kindness to self and others. Hooray for Ali!

Ali is awesome!
Inspiring, supportive and virtually AMAZING! -
I’m so glad Ali has been nominated! She’s such an inspiration. I love that she’s been able to help me see the “everyday” as something more extraordinary.
-
I’m more grateful and intentional since getting to know Ali. She definitely has changed my little corner of the world.
-
I’ve had the good fortune to take two workshop classes with Ali. I love and appreciate her “it is okay” and “there’s no right or wrong way to preserve your memories” philosophy. Both of these mantras inspire me not only to continue scrapbooking, but to enjoy the mundane, everyday delights in life. Ali is warm and personable — qualities that come through in everything she does.
In short, Ali rocks.
-
Ali seems to have it “together”. She is an awesome mom, designer, and inspires me on a daily basis. Best of luck to you Ali!
-
If you have an inspiration board, Ali’s picture should be a part of it. Ali’s blog is one I visit and nothing seems to be mundane in “Ali’s World.” One can see her love of family, photography, creating memories, and sharing ideas with others. Overall, she is truly an inspiration.
-
I have been a fan of Ali’s forever – at least 8 years – but the “breadwinner”? Her husband is a state representative; a very hard worker and respected man. Aside from that, LOVE HER A LOT. She has inspired me and made me re-evaluate on more than one occasion. Her organic, truthful, honest, creative lifestyle is an inspiration.
-

Couldn’t have asked for a better person to be nominated. She is a constant source of inspiration and is real and approachable. Not to mention she is the best storyteller of our generation.
-
She embraces her role as mother and teacher. She makes me see the importance of the everyday, which really is a gift to us and should be honored as such.
-
Ali is truly an amazing, working mother! Her work is truly inspirational for all of us every day moms.

Hey there, You’ve done an incredible job. I will certainly digg it and personally suggest to my friends. I am confident they will likely be benefited from this web site.
-
wonderful story teller and a great teacher.
-
Ali has been an amazing inspiration for me. Her easy going philosophy with life has taught me to “just breathe” everything will work out. She has two very lucky kids to be part of such a great family! Good luck, Ali!

Because of the light you transmit, your energy and always goog willing
-
Ali’s class was a must take for me when CKU came to Minneapolis in 2005. Her website is one I visit daily. Her “eye” constantly has me thinking, “What a great way to record this or that; why didn’t I think of it?” Though not a mom (except to a four footed spoiled furball), I am a high school teacher and Ali’s advice, observations, and experiences are dead-on and extremely helpful.
-
Yes yes yes for Ali E! She’s inspiring and thoughtful without putting pressure on me or making me feel like “I should” or “I oughts”. I appreciate how she generously shares about her life and the lessons she’s learning – yay Ali!
-
Ali is a great Mother and has inspiried me with her story telling and her photos.
Her children will have a great history of their lives. I read her blog everyday! Always very inspiring and uplifting. -
Ali has been one of my creative mentors for years. Through her blog and classes that she has taught she continues to inspire me. Through her I have seen the beauty and necessity of preserving the everyday and cherishing the ordinary.
-
Ali’s blog and what she does with it inspires me every day. Hers is more than about scrapbooking, it’s about telling stories from her whole heart and living authentically while telling those stories. She teaches us, by sharing her life, how to take it all in–the good, the bad, the messy, the wish-it-weren’t so.
-
Such an inspiration. Love her.

The Moms Who Are Changing Your World…
…Ali is one of those moms! How has she changed MY world? She has reminded me how important telling one’s story is, how getting down the details of daily life, not just the special events, are so important. Many women will share their stories with future generations as a result. That is most definitely changing our world!
Good luck Ali! Woohoo!
-
By sharing stories of her own life – both good and not so good, Ali is an inspiration to those of us who may sometimes feel our own lives are not quite what we’d expected or hoped for. And amongst other things, she helps us realise and perhaps puts into perspective for us, those things that are most important in life. In short, Ali rocks!
-
Began reading her articles in CK many, many years ago and now follow her blog, she is awesome and very inspiring!
-
She is a constant inspiration both to record our stories beautifully and, by sharing her life, an example of how to be a wonderful mother.
-
If someone asked me “who inspires you?” I would reply “Ali Edwards”. I have never met Ali, but through her blog I have been inspired to be a better person, a better Mum and a more creative person. Go Ali – you deserve to win!

I’ve had the pleasure of taking 2 classes from Ali and I can say from experience that she’s as genuine in “real life” as she comes across in her articles and blog. So happy to see she’s getting some acknowledgment for her positivity!
