Hello there and Welcome!

This is motherhood musings. My place to make space for beauty and struggle, parenting and art, stories and words. A place to explore and celebrate the intersection and tension that comes with being a parent and a creative and being a caregiver and having ambition, and living the Spoonie/Chronic illness life of limited energy and resources from day to day.

This is a place for the late-night dreamers,
the early birds, the ones who listen to podcasts and capture fleeting thoughts in car pick-up lines on the notes app on their phone. The ones with an ever-optimistic stack of books and a hot cup of coffee that will inevitably turn cold. Here’s to existing and creating in the margins together…

Are you a parent with creative ambitions? Do you yearn to explore the delicate balance between motherhood and your artistic aspirations? I hope you will find grace and a permission slip here.

📚 My hope is for motherhood musings to build and nurture a vibrant community of writers, storytellers, hopeful spoonies, and creative parents who share a common passion for authenticity and creative expression. Here's what you can expect:

🧠 Thoughtful Musings: Deep dives into the world of motherhood and creativity through thought-provoking essays and reflections.

🎨 Artistic Inspirations: Discover new ways to nurture your creative side while raising a family. Spotlights and shoutouts to other creatives/mother-writers/ artists and curation of resources to inspire creativity.

🤝 Connections and Collaborations: a long-term dream is to one day host in-person or virtual gatherings to forge meaningful connections with fellow writers and storytellers who are in the trenches together. (Think seasonal dinners/workshops/virtual coffee chats. etc)

📣 Beat the Algorithm: My hope for this space is to support one another and ensure our honest words and stories connect with and find like-hearted and minded individuals and don’t get lost in the algorithms.
