When I was a little girl, my summer break always started off with a trip to Michaels. My mom wanted to make sure I had something productive to do, so we would stock up on some DIY projects. These projects were intended to last for a couple weeks, but I was usually finished within a couple of days. Once I started, I became consumed—similarly to how I am now, actually.

I wanted to list a few of my favorite crafty projects that are perfect for summer vacation. These are my childhood favorites, but they can totally be transformed into adult activities too! Read More

Creative Burnout

By | Food For Thought, Thoughtful Thursday, Uncategorized | No Comments
Last week, I finished my 4th quarter of graduate school. I was so excited for a three-week break. I was planning on doing some painting, writing, and other fun crafty things. But when my last final was turned in, and the first school free Monday came around, I felt like doing nothing! I didn’t want to write. I didn’t want to paint. I didn’t want to do anything creative. All I wanted to do was lounge around and watch Netflix. I was experiencing the dreaded creative burnout!!
