This is where I write things out.
Long form. Slowly. With room for nuance and change.
You’ll find reflections on motherhood, creativity, mental wellness, and the everyday work of becoming yourself again. Some posts are stories. Some are resources. Some are moments I didn’t want to rush past.
A lot of what I share comes from trying things and figuring it out as I go. Especially hobbies. They have held me through some really tough seasons and some really great ones, a steady thing in a world that moves fast. Something I can always come back to. Trying things. Messing up. Finding joy again.
You’re always welcome to learn with me, try with me, or quietly take what fits.
Locker Soccer
A few months ago my little guy saw some guys practicing soccer as we drove past the park. He immediately started asking a million questions (like most 2 year olds do) and through his questions he found out that his daddy played soccer and loved it. Like a lot of young boys, his dad is his number one hero, and learning that he played soccer was the most amazing thing he had heard all week. Owen started showing interest in playing soccer immediately.
In typical Eryn form I started researching soccer programs for young children and digging into what makes each program different. For Owen's age (3 years old) I was mainly looking for a program that was play based with great coaches. Through all my research, I found that Locker Soccer was the one program that stood out.
