Just grab a seam ripper and cut your cleaning time in half.

i’m sharing what’s worked for me — not in theory, but my field notes.

every booth has started as a “what if i try this...”

this is a mix of lessons, reflections, and strategy that helped me stop vending just to vend…
and start showing up and treating my table like a whole experience.

📓 ready to move with rhythm? the workbook is in my bio.
so i'm in the space of defining my own family trad so i'm in the space of defining my own family traditions, alongside events that are a big deal in society but of zero significance to me. i didn't grow up celebrating Halloween, but my Nana did. and the only way i'd get a costume or go trick or treating is if i was at Nana's house. that was something my mom chose to be lenient about because she trusted my Nana would keep us safe. 

that being said, my child will not participate at all, with anyone, ever. i haven't that amount of trust in a single soul. 

as a mom, i believe in providing unbiased information about holidays to my offspring.. she's still young, and i'm very comfortable discussing the origins of rituals and symbols. so when i'm asked "why don't you celebrate XYZ holiday" my answer is simple. "that's not what we do."

PS. this farm experience left a lot to be desired. i checked before i pulled up, the reviews were great!! but i'm not people. 🙃
even trying to edit and post this dag on video, i even trying to edit and post this dag on video, i had to do start over like 3X ... to hell with whatever caption i had planned just take the video 😅 #creativemomdiaries
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 🥴
not every rhythm needs to be found, sometimes it j not every rhythm needs to be found, sometimes it just needs a reset. 😉

for me, that balance looks different every day: one moment i'm in a news studio, the next i'm in content producer & admin mode, then i'm putting in work at my creation station, or cooking with my tiny great one.

💜 this is episode 1 of My Creative Rhythm Reset. it's imperfect, it's refreshing, and always fueling my purpose. it took a while to get here but it feels great! 

grab the workbook to create your own rhythm (link in bio)
