Wrote a heartfelt blog post about motherhood and creativity, and how @me_mother_other helped me rediscover my writing voice. Definitely didn’t cry writing this one. Link is in my bio if you want to read the whole thing! 🩵 My heart is very full after yesterday’s amazing morning launching our very own @me_mother_other zine! 📰✨ Processing those first nursery drop offs the only way I know how 🌸 Started to get my head together to document some thoughts on motherhood over on my blog. It turns out that the baby going to nursery for a few hours this week has opened up the space in my brain for me things again, who knew! 🩵 There have been A LOT of feelings these past weeks as I start to think about heading back to work. Alongside the worries about baby going to nursery and how he will settle in, I’ve also spent a lot of time reflecting about who I am and what fulfils me. Mothering through the winter has been hard, but it feels like things are finally getting lighter. I’d love to explore motherhood through the seasons, although I’m sure this will have been done before! We’re back for another Moodboard Monday (no, I didn’t forget!) and this story is one inspired by the @writers_artists_ Writing Horror course I completed in 2024 with @kirstylogan. It’s a ghost story - but the ghost is a little different… 👻 Think an art thief, a quiet art gallery and a woman who has been stuck inside a painting for hundreds of years… 🖼️ Another one from the midst of sleep deprivation. I couldn’t stop writing about how tired I was, couldn’t stop thinking about how it would feel to get more than an hour or two of sleep in a row. Things have miraculously improved over the past couple of weeks and now I can see how much easier it is to parent when you are rested. Solidarity to all the exhausted mothers out there 🩵 I’d been eyeing up @mslexia’s diary & planner for a couple of years now - so was very pleased to get one this year! I’m looking forward to filling it out and using it for inspiration and accountability for my writing this year 📖✍️
