Today’s Featured Mom has taken her love of simple things to a soft, familiar place. Allisa, the mom behind quiltish, sews because she loves to – and it shows. H: How long have you been doing what you do? A: I’ve been creating forever. As a first grader, I was queen of the popsicle dollhouse furniture and the easy bake [...]
Image via Wikipedia Sometimes, in order to embrace our creativity, we need to A) make time for it and B) save money for purchasing supplies. One of the ways we can accomplish both is by meal planning. Now, I confess – I’ve never done this before. Sometimes I’ll make enough for left overs and occasionally I’ll make a second ‘batch’ [...]
When I first became a Mother, the love and hormone crazy emotions I felt were overwhelming. I did many things to try and capture those times. I took a gazillion photos, I started a scrapbook, I sewed tiny little bits of (pathetic) clothing and I wrote. I wrote a few poems, one of which is here in case you care [...]
Read about the Meme. ‘When inspiration does not come to meet me, I go halfway to meet it.’— Sigmund Freud I read this quote today and it had me wondering about going to meet your inspiration.

We have company at our place (which is great, love to see ‘em) and the day job is absolutely chaotic right now. For me, chaos is one of my big creativity killers – plus, the activity [...]
In my post – A Simple Way to Jump Start your CreativityI write about how changing something in your environment can spur on creative feelings. One thing I find easy to change up is the music I listen to as I work. Normally I love classic rock, modern rock – any kind of rock really. I find the intensity of [...]
Read about the Meme. I had a hard time coming up with my Muse for this week. My upcoming week will be very full. We’re short staffed at the day job as our receptionist is on holiday so I’ll be picking up some of that slack. It’s also a short week for me as I’ve taken a day off to [...]
What a week! Maternal Spark had mentions all over the place. My “Chicken or Egg” post which described my mental struggle with Little H’s nightlight was chosen as the first “Featured Neurotic Mom Moment” over at The Neurotic Mom. I’m so proud to be the first in such a fun series! I blushed reading the featured Design Focus over at [...]
Today’s featured mom, Clarissa from The Posh Parent, has an unique outlook on turning a creative passion into a business venture. I really should interview her for the other blog too so we can get into the nitty gritty of running a home business with her.
