When you're having a sick day, have some free time, or are in some space of waiting, it can be easy to doom scroll. These phones are addictive! It seems like nowadays the most common thing is to meet people who have no hobbies outside of scrolling instagram or lurking on reddit. No passions. No … Continue reading Quit Doom Scrolling

Weird
I've got laundry running. I made cookies. I mopped. I took out the recycling. Homemaking is in full swing here. I plan to scrub my bathtub, sweep, do a general pickup, and dust next. Then, I plan to read and write. Homemaking is my job and my love, but writing poetry is my passion. Followed … Continue reading Weird
Digital Art Journaling
I have been trying to create digital art journaling pages for therapeutic purposes. They are a blend of scrapbooking supplies, collage cut outs I've made, digital stickers, and textures added in Procreate. I am doing everything I can to get myself on an upswing. Nothing fancy or professional, but making them is helpful.
Lovely Day
Today we went into the city to go to an art museum dedicated to what is traditionally seen as craft or woman's work. It was fascinating! There were some really deep, beautiful things there, and I got some nice photos. We went out to lunch after the museum, then went back to town and grabbed … Continue reading Lovely Day
Weekend, Collage, Adobe
Other than ending up at the dentist, the past 3 days have been relaxing. We wanted to go to the fireworks in the city on Independence Day, but it rained. That was disappointing. But we have spent a ton of time together as a family. Tomorrow my husband is taking us on a surprise site … Continue reading Weekend, Collage, Adobe

How to Be a Writer, an Artist, a Composer, a Dancer etc
Some of what I see in the writer sphere online and the art sphere too is really weird to me. There are articles and books that are titled "I wrote every day for a year. Here's what I learned." Or "I painted every day for a month. Is it beneficial?" Creative things should be done … Continue reading How to Be a Writer, an Artist, a Composer, a Dancer etc
New Digital Planner!
I have been searching for a useful all-in-one planner system that will account for all my homeschooling needs next year, as well as let me track household goals and creative goals. I wanted something colorful and bright. I ended up on Etsy, where I saw digital planners compatible with the Android app, Penly. They had … Continue reading New Digital Planner!
Vacation
Our vacation has been wonderful. Yesterday we went to the Salvador Dali museum. Seeing his art again was incredible (MY husband and I visited before on a romantic trip years ago), and I got new books I'm excited about. One is biographies of surrealists, one is about Leonora Carrington....and one is letters between Lorca and … Continue reading Vacation
Moving, Angel, Vacation
This week I found out we will be moving sooner than I expected. I will really miss this house by the ocean, our cute neighborhood, and my friend C. Moving is never easy. It's especially hard on children. I know my daughter will miss all her friends here. Yesterday there was an awards ceremony at … Continue reading Moving, Angel, Vacation
