For the mommas 🌸🤍🦋

Hey fellow mommas! 🌸 If you're anything like me, you probably have a deep love for books and the magic of writing, but let's be real – balancing that passion with raising tiny humans feels like a superpower sometimes! I see you, the moms who love to read + write, trying to squeeze in a chapter between laundry loads or jot down story ideas during naptime. It's tough, right? I used to feel guilty if I wasn't devouring several books per week like some influencers. But then I remembered: I have a tiny human to care for! My pace is different, and that's perfectly okay. Don't feel like you have to keep up with the trends or finish a book in record time. It's totally fine if it takes you 5 ever to finish a book. The joy is in the journey, not the speed. For my writing mommas, that story that you can't get out of your head? Write it! Even if it's just a few sentences here and there. It's okay if you only write once in a blue moon; the most important thing is just don't give up! Your voice matters, and those stories deserve to be told. I've found that even 15 minutes of uninterrupted writing can spark so much joy and creative energy. And about what you read? Seriously, read those silly wholesome romances if that's what brings you comfort and escape! You don't have to enjoy the mainstream books to be cool. And conversely, you're not more cool if you don't read the mainstream books either. Read what truly fills your cup. Remember, you may be mom, but you're still just a girl who deserves to indulge in her literary preferences. That little girl who dared to dream – despite all odds – still lives in you. To make these moments special, I always try to romanticize my writing/reading sessions with a cute drink. A hot tea, an iced coffee in a mason jar – it just adds a little sparkle to the experience. It's like a mini self-care ritual. Whether it's a quiet morning before the kids wake up, or a stolen half-hour after bedtime, cherish those moments. They're not just about the words on the page; they're about nurturing a part of yourself that motherhood often pushes to the background. Keep reading, keep writing, and keep being the amazing, creative mama you are!
