I’m dreaming of coconut 🥥 milk lavender lattes and writing at the cafe, but for now it’s PM writing night sessions all bleary eyed and tired. Sometimes doubt gets the best of me (What’s the point? No one will ever read this. Chances of getting published are so slim. Do I really think I’m so special? Or that what I have to say is important?), but then I take a deep breath and tell doubt to go away because if I don’t write, I’m not living. It’s so easy to let our dreams go to the wayside when life gets in the way, but if we don’t fight for our dreams they will turn into nightmares, haunting us until our last days as we ponder how much time we’ve squandered doing what we *think* we should do, instead of doing what we want to do. It’s about spending each day of your life doing what you love—even if it doesn’t come to anything. So be brave and make art. 💜 #fridaymood #thoughtsbecomethings #amwritingya #amdreaming #latteart #coffee #creativeprocess #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram

Curating my closet by sticking to a color palette, going back to basics, keeping things I love to wear, and getting rid of the rest. This new charcoal tank and royal blue chenille sweater definitely meets my requirements! #sahmfashion #momlife #comfyoutfit #aboundclothing #halogenclothing #nails #minimalistfashion #curatedcloset

🌼🌱Though it goes against my nature, I’ve been trying to stay up late to write (I’m a morning 🐦 bird, not a night owl 🦉). It’s slow going, but it’s better than standing still. Currently at 26K words for my R&L #wip! I’m trying a new method of revising as so draft in the hopes of cutting down the amount of rewrites. Interested to see how it goes! #amwritingya #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #dreamer #nature #spring #creativeprocess #writingprocess

Wine consumption has gone wayyy down since baby and breastfeeding, so gotta make each glass count! This is a rosé from our Santa Barbara wine trip where we got to meet the lovely couple/winemaker of this delicious bottle. Other recent happenings: I’ve been trying to simplify my life as much as possible, which means cleaning and curating all aspects of my life, whether that’s my closet, makeup, pantry, etc., and I have to say, it feels good 😊 #wine #roseallday #springcleaning #livewithintention
