a mamma in the making

KONK AM radio

It’s 5:30 on a Sunday and because my sweetie and little one are indulging in a major power nap,  I’ve actually and finally had a snippet of time to myself.  I just finished creating a new supplemental blog called the peep show for the talk radio show I’m about to launch next Monday geared towards island-style parenting on KONK AM… 1680 on your dial if you’re local, www.konkam.com if you’re not.  (Tune in on October 5th at 3 p.m…… to “the peep show”)!

The good folks over at the station asked me to come on board some months ago and while enthused about the prospect of it, the idea was more than overwhelming.  I don’t know how other folks fare out there when it comes to adjusting to being a parent, but it’s taken me a good whole year to get the hang of it and let’s just say, while it does have it’s magic moments, it’s still the toughest job I’ll ever love.

What I think I can attribute most of my challenges to is not the wee one who just turned one, who truly is the apple of my eye, but the fact that TIME is just so dang limited these days.   Meaning:  when do I get to indulge the calling of my creative muse?

The very reason I stopped blogging was so that I could be more present, pay better attention to the wee one tugging at my leg.   But the truth is, I MISS that little bit of writing I did, and it’s high time I try at it again.

So, here we go, with a new set of intentions.  I will keep being a mamma in the making, learning how to best be the best mamma i can be….hopefully while making and sharing some cool things with you along the process.

Ok, Ok, so it’s a little less on the artistic edge of things and a bit more on the creative home-maker realm, but you gotta start somewhere, right?  And if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last year is that if you’re going to keep your SELF intact, it’s to learn how to integrate as best you can.

Banana bread recipes, how to make a mobile with found objects and what inspires a children’s story, here we come.

(And for those of you new to my meanderings, let me introduce you to my new muse:)
