Creative Juju, blogging, and single motherdom

Ok. So as I mentioned I have basically been MIA for most of OCT. But I have to say that this week I am really feeling it. Its odd, I have been so busy that the thought of coming and crafting a blog post has made me ill to my stomach. So have avoided it like the plague.

But after an insane six weeks of travel, family, crazy work schedules, and all that life has been throwing my way lately… I am feeling that spark again. My dear friend Jessica Sprague and I were on the Paperclipping Rountable together this week. (I will post once it is live of course) And she said something that really inspired me. The topic was about story telling. And she said something to the effect of… you just have to show up. Well. Here I am. And I am committed, to showing up.

 I wanted to point out a new section of my blog. Being a mother is always challenging. It is the worlds hardest job. But being a single mother has its own set of obstacles and craziness to it. Lately I have been inspired to share some of these stories from my day to day life. But I don’t want to drop in those sometimes serious or grey clouds smack dab between a turorial for creating a paper wreath and layout! So in the side bar categories you will find “Diary of a Single Mom“. This is where I will post all the tender tidbits of my day. I know I am not alone. Single or married, being a mom can make you feel like an island. But we are so not alone. We are in a club, and if just one person can read this and not feel so lonely or discouraged… well, it will be totally worth getting it out there.

Thanks for following my on my adventures in both life and all things crafty.
