  • I spent the weekend with a good friend of mine. She's a wedding planner, and she asked me to be her assistant for a wedding. I love talking with this friend because she always helps me gain clarity. She's always willing to listen and work through things with me. Her advice is always helpful. After talking through some things with her, I realized I needed to readjust my priorities. I've got another little one coming in just four short months, and I just don't have the time or energy to do things I don't want to do. So, from now, my focus is going to be my family and my creativity. I want to be as present as I can be for my kids. I want to create art and help others create art. We are no longer wasting energy on what doesn't bring us joy. Anyway, if you need an awesome and wise wedding planner, @fete.festoon.events is your girl!
  • I've been struggling artistically for a long time now. Some of it is motherhood since it takes up a lot of my time. But it went beyond that. Now, I think I've finally figured out why it's so difficult for me to create, and I think it's that I wasn't meant to create on my own. I'm a collaborative artist who wants to work with others I respect to create great art. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The combo solo/collaborative environment was what I loved so much about grad school, and I can't believe it's taken me this long to figure it out. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I've written all about it in my newest blog post, which you can read through the link in my bio. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #writing #writer #blogging #creativewriting #womenwhowrite #womenwhoblog #writeblr #creativity
  • Yesterday was so hot that we spent some time in my son's new inflatable pool. Those things are so useful. It was like $14 too! He loved being able to splash around. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Next weekend we're going to use a friend's real pool, so we'll see how he does with that. We got him this great inflatable lounger for babies, so he can just chill in the pool. It even has a sun cover. We can't wait to try it. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ How did you escape the heat? ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #newmom #parenting #momblogger #momlife #momsofig #honestmotherhood #toddlerlife #toddler
  • One of the best ideas I've ever had was giving my son my husband's broken laptop. I work from my couch usually, which puts my laptop in easy reach. Whenever he got bored with his toys, he would come over and try to type on my computer. This isn't super convenient when you're trying to write blogs or email clients.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Now, he just stands next to me and types away on his own laptop as I work. He absolutely loves it, and I'm able to get some more work done and have him close. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ He's a business baby, obviously. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #newmom #parenting #momblogger #momlife #momsofig #honestmotherhood #toddlerlife #toddler
  • I've been avoiding reading too much about what happened in Texas because it's too painful and awful to read. And if it's hard for me, I can't imagine what life must be like for those parents and everyone else who lost loved ones. I don't have any real words to say. Just that my heart goes out to everyone affected, especially the parents, and that what happened should never happen again. Today, I will hold my family tight.
  • Today, my son said his first real word: "Uh-oh!" He's been practicing it real hard for the last few days, and now he can say it clearly, which he does constantly. Everything that happens gets an "Uh-oh!" He can say mama and dada, but he's usually not referring to us when he says it. Slowly, he's getting it. Overall, feeling real proud today! (And look, he's getting his mama's curls!) #newmom #parenting #momblogger #momlife #momsofig #honestmotherhood #toddlerlife
  • Did anyone else see the new Dr. Strange? What'd you think? Personally, it frustrated me so much that I wrote almost 800 words about why. The film's treatment of Wanda was hard to watch, especially as a mother, and I'm not sure where her character can possibly go from here. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ You can read all of my thoughts through the link in my bio.
  • I read Bird by Bird for the first time a few years ago, and I'm rereading it now. It had a huge impact on me, and I think I need a refresher on its lessons. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ One of the things Lamott writes about how is how you can't write when you're empty. You have to find ways to refill yourself. This is something I'm working on.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I give all day, every day, and I need to find ways to replenish myself. By reading and watching things I enjoy. By going for a walk. By spending quality time with my family. By sleeping! I'm working my way back to a place where I can write again. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #writing #writer #blogging #creativewriting #booklove #bibliophile #booklover #womenwhowrite #womenwhoblog #writeblr #bookstagram #birdbybird #annelamott
