I know I don’t really write about Creative Moms anymore but I just had to write this quick post to congratulate Genevieve on her recent book deal!  I’m so thrilled for her.  You might remember the piece of flash fiction she shared with us back when Maternal Spark was live – School Bus Musings.  Go have a read if you [...]

I was reading through my archives this weekend and it became *smack in the head* apparent my best posts are the ones I’ve written about life.  About the love I have for my dear little H.  About enjoying the little things.  About me. Sure, I’ve enjoyed interviewing creative moms.  And I’ve loved sharing their work with you. But I need [...]

I don’t put a lot of stock in my horoscope, although, I confess to reading it on a near daily basis. If you’ve been reading for a while you’ll notice that I said the same thing the last time I wrote about my horoscope! Today (Sunday…I know this won’t go live until Monday), it was pretty right on and I [...]

January, 1950 by Eileen Donovan Kranz As a child Nora often visited the cemetery with Auntie and Uncle. With the ease of vacationers they would picnic on a blanket beneath a tree within sight of her parents’ grave.  She did not remember her parents, not even in a blurry way, so she was not saddened by the names on the [...]

I’m back!  I had a huge break over Christmas and didn’t twitter, blog or post much at all online.  I’ll admit to feeling a little rusty but at the same time I’m feeling fired up and ready to put my plans into action.  I’ve got some new projects starting up which I’m nowhere near being close to announcing yet but [...]

I have to admit, I’m not feeling all that inspired this week.  The holiday scramble is upon us and it’s been the focus of most of my attention.  I still have shopping to do and we have a lot to do around the house before our company arrives.  I’d really like to be posting pictures of holiday crafts or cute [...]

Today’s featured creative mom is Stacie from Bombe de Bain.  She’s been working hard for over two years to grow her business. H: Tell me about what you do. S: I make bath bombs – sometimes called bath fizzies.  They are a relatively new bath and beauty product that fizz on contact with the water, releasing fragrance, color and skin-nourishing oils and salts into [...]

Little H is starting to sing and dance – she’s becoming quite the performer.  So naturally, I do anything possible to encourage this adorable behavior.   She’s loving this Get Me Goin’ CD we were given for review.  It’s all about healthy eating and nutrition but she really just loves the music.  It’s not ‘kiddie’ music, you know?  It’s based on [...]

This week there isn’t one thing that’s inspiring me.  This week it a gazillion things. #1 – My mom just bought in as a partner in her company.  Congrats Mom!  I’m so proud of you! #2 – My hubby has registered to go back to school.  I’m very proud of him as well….and a little bit jealous. #3 – Little [...]

This week I’m inspired by two of my bloggy pals who have cooked up a creative way to blog-hop in honor of Thanksgiving.  Seeing as I’m Canadian, and our thanksgiving was back in October I thought I’d participate as a way to celebrate turkey day with my US friends.  I hope you’ll join me! Because this is my weekly inspiration [...]
