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!
jamming to @koolandthegang with my mom and offspri jamming to @koolandthegang with my mom and offspring is an irreplaceable luxury that i'll never take for granted. our dance parties be 🔥🔥🔥 

mental health hack: always make time to dance with the ones you love.
popped out with the fam yesterday for @thedossobea popped out with the fam yesterday for @thedossobeautysalon one year anniversary ✨

now let me say, i have seen @dossobeauty circulating socials, but honey the content serves the energy of the place no justice! from the beautifully curated space, to the intention of the brand... i'm just in awe! 😍 thank you @kadidja.dosso for a tour of the salon, and congrats on your expansion and continued success 🤗💜
If it don’t apply let it fly ♐️♐️♐️😈🙌🏾
you might play about your birthday, but I don’t play about mine. 😁

we always speak affirmations along our journey. mo we always speak affirmations along our journey. most times they're rooted in building her confidence, creativity, and self awareness. 

but this morning i needed her to know mommy is happy x healthy... bc motherhood is the trenches and i don't keep that a secret 🤣 

but im motivated to keep up these moments because i often catch her repeating affirmations aloud during her playtime. 
and i love to see it!!! ✨💜
