I was headed for some exciting entrepreneurial creativity before Covid hit. In 2019, I volunteered at my church’s harvest party as a face painter. I got a lot of positive feedback and the hours flew by. I had a lot of fun, the kids responded with excitement, and I was pumped. I found my calling….

When Kids make Expensive Mistakes
Parenthood is always an adventure. A toilet stopped working, and we figured a kid flushed something. I inquired if anybody flushed a wet-wipe or anything that wasn’t TP/the usual, but made sure to spin the inquiry “that would help mommy and daddy know what we need to do to fix it. Whatever it is, we…
Tired? Dealing with Insomnia, Kid Sleep Struggles, and Bad Dreams
If you’ve stayed up late intentionally and felt it the next day, perhaps you thought to yourself, “Hm, maybe I better not do that again because it’s affecting me.” But if you struggle with insomnia, or a child with sleep struggles, or even bad dreams and chronic fatigue despite enough sleep, you are most likely…
Don’t Wait for the Perfect Moment
Do you keep waiting for “someday” when you’ll “have more time” to pursue your creative goals or life goals in general? When the kids are more independent, or when you aren’t so busy with work? I used to wonder when that day would come. I realized I was losing my creative spark, drying up inside…

Why Do I Struggle With Clutter?
Part of the reason I have my YouTube channel ( Aim 4aCreativeLife ) is because YouTube was a big motivator in my decluttering journey, and I wanted to in turn motivate others with my journey. I would watch minimalism and decluttering videos to get in the zone and help me form better ways of thinking…
“That’s Too Expensive!” Words I used to say, the Problem with them, and a Better Perspective
I grew up with thriftiness being a huge deal in our family. I still enjoy being thrifty, finding it a fun challenge, as you can tell by my no-spend month videos, but when you feel guilty for responsibly using money you have, that’s not financial freedom, is it?! And judging how others use their own vacation…
Adopting an Adult Dog: Not Easy But Worth It
I grew up in a dog-less home as a freckle-faced, kitty-obsessed kid. I love most furry faces indiscriminately, but as an adult, I married a man that is allergic to cats. When I went to adopt my first dog, I preferred smaller breeds. I had small children and didn’t want the kids’ faces to be…
Shoulder or Back Pain? Consider Minimalizing your Purse!
Minimalizing your purse can provide relief from back and shoulder pain, as well as being unable to find your keys, phone, or a pen lost in the abyss of a big bag! Once the diaper bag was retired, however, I still felt the need to keep everything at the ready. In reality, I couldn’t find…
