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?

it could all be so simple. you could just as easil it could all be so simple. you could just as easily consume what you want without championing a title to feel a sense of purpose. 

you can have an identity that’s rooted in authenticity and self awareness and allow it to radiate into your connections. it’s not impossible to think for yourself. 
ps. @califiafarms almond milk turned this scone recipe all the way UP!! 🫐🍋

pretzels coming soon!
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. 🙃
the unpredictability of my schedule kept me from p the unpredictability of my schedule kept me from participating in @phillyveganrestaurantweek how i wanted to. but i did manage to skip on over to @chestnuthillbrewingcompany for my favorite vegetal apps 😋 
now, let me say, i've been getting this buffalo cauliflower for some years, but last night they were cooked like somebody's mom was trying to impress the high school football coach 😆💜

The Good Stuff Social Club was such a vibe! 💜✨ 

Being in a room full of powerhouse creatives, visionaries, and leaders left me feeling inspired and focused on the next level of my own journey.

I'm sharing more of my takeaways over on The Makings Of - my new Substack where I break down the behind-the-scenes of my creative journey, lessons, and projects.

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 💜🤗
