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.

Mama Monday | Canvas Creations For You | October 2016

I have actually been a student of Tricia's and I have to tell you she does an amazing job.  She was one of the excellent vendors at 614 Mom's annual event, Celebrating You, last year and she was a big part of a Mom Blogger Meet Up that I organized a few months ago.  I was really impressed with her skills at not only painting but teaching others to paint.  She has everything you need and she loves helping others make their masterpieces.

The Benefits of Yoga for Kids

"We live in a world where we are constantly on the go, from home to daycare, to soccer practice, to the grocery store, to this and that.  Occasionally on the weekends we get a chance to relax but if I'm being honest most weekends are filled with family obligations, grocery store trips, household chores, sneaking in some fun, and everything in between...."

614 Mom Turns 1!!!

Wow! I can't believe it's been a year since I launched 614 Mom.  614 Mom was born out of a vision that I had of a universal place for the women and mothers of Columbus to come for inspiration on things to do with their kids, spouses, and by themselves.
