I am the mother that I am because of all of the experiences, passions and accomplishments that filled my life before I made the decision to become a mother

I am a mother. But I am also a writer, a museum enthusiast, a traveller, a musician, an obsessive reader and a lover of cinema

Becoming a mother is an easy way to let all of your previous passions disappear but I really strive to keep them burning and not just for myself. How can I expect Ramona to value her passions and creativity if she never sees me allowing mine to flourish?

So this is a living record of all of the things that I either love or have created in the hopes that it will inspire or encourage you to keep those parts of yourself that you cherished before motherhood fully present in your life
