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.

🛎️ so excited to bring forth this offering to 🛎️ so excited to bring forth this offering to the world, and I’m teaching on something I’m very passionate about: creative rhythm, of course. 

but clearly, I have not magically found more time; between working, freelancing, raising my 3-year-old at home with zero childcare, sourcing materials, creating content, partnering with businesses, and building my creative brand… 

I stopped waiting for the “perfect” moment to execute my goals!! I’ve become quite audacious about what I’m building and how it’s getting done!

And now I want to share my wealth with other creative moms, to help y’all do the same. 💜💜💜

not me sewing a pocket on my skirt 5 minutes befor not me sewing a pocket on my skirt 5 minutes before i have to depart 🥴
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!
