I have written about my Katimavik experience a couple of times in my blog. https://thewritingmommaca.wordpress.com/2019/02/20/letter-to-my-teenage-self/ and https://thewritingmommaca.wordpress.com/2018/12/07/nanowrimo-and-katimavik/. I don't think that either of those posts were able to represent my experience. Those were more about the many feelings of a 17 year old. Many many feelings. I am still working on that in short novel …
Body Positive
On Wednesday, I did a thing. It was kind of a scary thing. It was definitely out of my comfort zone. From about 25 on, I have never had trouble doing things out of my comfort zone. Some of my best life experiences are because I jumped as far out of my bubble as I …
Fights with a Three Year Old
My last post was about anxiety. The one before that was about me being sentimental about my wonderful son. I need a change. I need to write something happy. (My son being three and great is happy, but has no humour.) In the case of today's short post, I'm going to write about my most …
My Anxiety
I've been reading a lot of posts and writings about anxiety, and at times I'm surprised at how much some of it reminds me of myself. I wanted to share an anxiety attack I recently had because it really shook me, and after it ended, all I wanted to do was write about it. I …
Proud of my Kid
I started writing this almost a month ago, but kept leaving it while working on other things. Today, I came to write a completely different post, but they are close enough in subject that I can post them as one. A Photo by Kerry's Photography - taken for a Mommy Connections Mother's Day project. First …
Books of 2019 (part 1)
I've made another goal of 40 books this year. I've read 12 books so far. Here is what I've been reading in 2019. China Rich Girlfriend by Kevin Kwan This is the continuation of Crazy Rich Asians. It was just as readable as the first. It's a story you can sink into because it has …
Eff the Mom Guilt
I'm trying to write as much as I can, but I can't write everyday this month. I don't want to stress myself out, I just want to write. I'm feeling a lot of anxiety lately, and writing helps with that, but it doesn't have to be my blog. I'll my focusing on some journal writing …
Today’s Task
On my list of challenges for myself this month, I have one on decluttering and another on making being happy. (It's easy. You just BE HAPPY.) I did two of those in one. Obviously, none of these ideas I'm using have specifically said the one I'm about to share, but it felt really good to …
Being Better
Today's post has changed a number of times throughout the day. I didn't have a lot of time to do anything other than be a momma today. I was planning to do a decluttering post, but didn't have time for any of it. I've chosen a prompt that suits the day. Write about an area …
April Plans
It's a new month, which means I've made more writing goals for myself. As well as more life plans. What's life without goals? I plan to blog everyday again this month, but it's going to be a bit different. I'll be doing shorter posts so I can focus on other writing at the same time. …
