I avenged myself from that botched oven mitt debac I avenged myself from that botched oven mitt debacle because, I was actual losing sleep about it. it has imperfections but it’s complete!‼️

it should NOT take multiple days to get this little thing done smh

anyways do consider this an entry in my #creativemom diary; I have found that immersing my girl in an analog activity has decreased her desire to meddle in my process.

even though I choose a plethora of programming i always love turning the TV off. she’s much more focused on her creativity than mine. 

THAT’s A WIN 🏆🎖️🙌🏾 

whether small or large, what’s a win you’re celebrating?

so we got a new bread machine and I have not looke so we got a new bread machine and I have not looked back!!!! 🍞🥖😋

recipe deets: I used a conventional recipe and used my dairy free substitutions. that’s a lot easier than going down the rabbit hole of comparing different vegan/plant-based recipes. plus I lean a lot on what’s been passed down from my mother and my nana.

food is really my love language, and it’s important to know how to ADAPT a recipe and use what you have.

soo ummm…. cool and all, but for real, who do I think I am? cooking/baking from scratch, building a creative business, working part time, raising a future prodigy and being somebody fine ass wife 😂💜😈

my factory setting is to go into hiding, so believ my factory setting is to go into hiding, so believe me when I say, I did a VERY hard reset because honey this is life after I said NEVER WOULD I EVER! 😂 there’s some major changes round these purple parts.

and this chapter is all about IMPACT. 💜 
my intention is to continue sharing the vibrant hues that illuminate my purpose, my love, and fulfillment on this journey. 

this creative journey! so much going on this year and I’m excited to share 💜🥰

two things they won’t tell you: vegan is easier two things they won’t tell you: vegan is easier in the summer time, and it’s only easy when you don’t live in a food dessert!! 

don’t let people put the battery in your back to abruptly “go vegan”, you have to equip yourself with information and resources for how you gonna eat. 

you gotta be able to survive and sustain… and you deserve to enjoy good food!

for my planty folk, when did you discover your vegetal romance was over?
it’s mind over matter. 🙃 it’s mind over matter. 🙃
Somebody will say you can’t be a decent mom AND Somebody will say you can’t be a decent mom AND a successful creative, and you need to ignore them people!! Because first of all, you cannot take advice from people who have never done what you want to do. 

and the truth? 
the child learns so much MORE watching me build than she ever would watching me wait. 

I’m creating with her, but I’m building for us. 

That’s me 💜

if you’re a creative mom/ artist mom navigating this wild ride, I see you girl 💜🤗

I’ve been putting off retwisting my hair, but I I’ve been putting off retwisting my hair, but I finally got to it. it took 4 hours one day, 6 hours the next. 
i had intentions to capture my whole process on camera and get some good content. 

but see, ol girl consistently kept bringing me pretend tea and running in and out for for potty time—which always entails a hand washing song… every.single.time. 

so my content vision went out the window, and this is what I got instead 😵‍💫😂 angles ain’t but so bad but it’s certainly not what i had in mind.

the old me would’ve scrapped ALL OF IT and waited for the “right” content moment: a perfect setup with uninterrupted time, and a semi-organized space.
but this past year taught me that this creative motherhood journey is not about waiting for perfect conditions. 
it’s all about building IN the chaos, not seeing what you can come up with after the smoke clears.
so y’all, I’m posting what I have instead of not posting at all… 

now if you’re a creative mom waiting for the “right time” to start - let this be your sign. 

the interrupted process IS the content.
done is better than perfect!!!
& sometimes, done means perfect. i’m oddly enjoying this unconventional spin on things, 🥴 
now let’s see where it takes us LOL

I can’t be the only one who is building something in the tiny margins between pretend tea parties and having real deadlines!
