Weekly Glimmers | A Week In Pictures: Mar 15 - 21

Creative Practice
Written By Sarah Hailey

Last week was Spring Break, and it was so fun having the kids home from school. There were many adventures and outings, and plenty of cozy home time, too!

By Friday, though, this magic-making mama was deffo heading into burnout zone, so we chilled out for the weekend, and after a much needed reset, I’m ready for a new week and a new set of goals for this season.

Not without some much deserved me time first, seeing as how it is my birthday week…. :)

✨Weekly Glimmers is a photo series about noticing small moments of creativity, nervous system safety, and meaning while healing, parenting, and building a sustainable creative life.

I didn’t get quite as far as I’d hoped in the challenge, but I’m pleased I made it as far as I did.
