I decided that, with a 2 month old, I can either enjoy motherhood and have a spotless house OR enjoy motherhood and flex my creative muscles. I have to proactively choose the latter, and be okay with piles of laundry and old receipts while I do what fills my heart, what God has placed in me, and what ultimately makes me a happier and better mommy.

Today’s (cut short 😉) nap time consisted of Tolkien and dirty dishes. ✨ Even in just twenty minutes I found this beautiful sentence: “...the firelit hall became like a golden mist above seas of foam that sighed upon the margins of the world.” 😍✨💕

Creative mommies, what does your nap time routine look like? When do you flex your creative muscles while making sure your home doesn’t look like an explosion of unmade beds? 🤣 Open to suggestions!
My creative space lately: my guitar, songwriting book, coffee ☕️ (with chocolatey creamer! 💁🏻♀️), and the trusty baby monitor 💙

It’s funny - people tell you how little time you have with a baby, and while that’s true, it just makes alone time look different. It makes the truly important things take priority (aka, writing > social media). 😉 And somehow, even with lack of sleep, our precious boy has given me the gift of seeing the world differently, a little more joyfully...which lends itself to creativity in the most beautiful, pure way ✨
