“How does one go about it?”, I’ve wondered. What new things do I want to start? What skills do I want to stretch and grow that I already have? I’ve also wanted to share what I learn or do online with you. This made me think further about why. I found that I want to share finding moments of creativity as a mama.

One thing I have always been an advocate for is not rushing it. Don’t rush your dreams because they need cultivation. Own where you are at and stay true to yourself. I’ve never been one to fit an expected timeline and approaching motherhood at 35 was no exception. Honestly, it wasn’t something I really felt comfortable with right up until about a year ago. Everyone has a different story for why and when they become mothers.

When I am in conversation, I have the tendency to explain a concept in a long winded way. I strongly admire my husband for his ability to say few words and hit the nail on the head. I believe it is because he is good with words. Learning a new word that defines a whole concept and being able to explain your thoughts is where it’s at. The latest simple word I’ve learned fully (I kinda knew what it was before), is the term being grounded.

Music is one of those things that has locked in certain memories that I will never forget. For better or worse. Ha! Lately, I have been struggling to figure out something to share with everyone while I am running around trying to figure out and do life. Tonight (while I am writing this), I thought to myself, "why not share a piece of my heart through song?"

For me, life is like traffic sometimes. Moving into the country really put a halt to a lot of the traffic in my life both literally and figuratively. Living 20 minutes outside of center city Philadelphia, was one big traffic jam and 1 million lights. We moved to upstate NY and suddenly I was driving slower, stopping to check out the creatures, and just chilling on the deck. It became apparent that I needed this in my life. What I ended up discovering was that even though things were slowing down, I needed to learn about the importance of simplifying my life.

I am so passionate about this topic because it is a challenge that I have been willing to accept. I am all about busting the myths of being a wife at home and making it something more. Maybe it starts with believing that women can do a lot of great things, even in the corporate world. I am not sure. I think one of the reasons why I wanted to start a blog about the home, was because of this.

I was talking to my friend through text about motherhood. I had just come back from visiting my brother's family and my new nephew. I experienced changing gross diapers for the first time, learned how to soothe the cries, and pretty much learned a lot besides being able to actually feed an infant. I expressed to my friend that I could actually picture myself as a mother after this experience.
