Something lovely is coming! This space is growing into something new—something that brings together the art I love to make, the words I love to write, and the home I love to build. 💛

It started with an idea, back in 2010 when I first opened my Etsy storefront. Then in 2017 I realized motherhood is the journey of a lifetime, and one I could not walk alone. I realized I could write my stories down, as life became blog fodder. For years I felt like I was just the lady next door. I was a mom, but was I really ONLY a mom? Mission of Motherhood began to feel limiting somehow, as if I couldn’t share something that wasn’t strictly motherhood related.

One of my goals for 2019 for this blog was to post more regular content and utilize social media in a beneficial way to engage with my followers and potential followers. In the age of the Internet and the accompanying social media darkness (that comparison that sucks us in yet isolates us from the real world), I want to be a safe place, a light in the dark for other moms who are seeking meaningful community.

So the other day on my blog’s Facebook page I shared an article from ScaryMommy on MLMs and those annoying private messages I get on an all-too-regular basis. I think a lot of ScaryMommy posts are funny, and I know a lot of the posts are done the way they are for the laughs. And well, it works on me.
