Have you ever been creatively stuck?
.
December 2019 my absolute favorite camera lens fell out of the cabinet I keep it in and shattered in a million pieces. I cried for days and days. I barely picked up my DSLR in 2020 because I just felt so uninspired. I couldn’t get the shots I was visualizing in my head with the lenses I had.
.
Nick and the kids replaced my favorite lens as a Christmas gift and I’m ecstatic to be shooting again! I joined my incredibly talented friend @kimklassen creative photography Inner Circle for extra inspiration this year. Assignment 1 out of the gate and I already feel eager and excited about photography again! (You can see my “tell a story through multiples” in my Instagram story.)
.
Three cheers for bursting with inspiration again, after all this time.

Last year I couldn’t believe I was old enough to have an 18 year old. This year I look in the mirror and see someone old enough to have a 19 year old. This past year has been a lot and man, it has physically aged me! But one things solid and firm...I love my kids and am so proud of them! The resilience Jacob has shown this past year has impressed me...”graduating” high school, starting college, all when things have been so up in the air and unsure. And never once complaining about it. My kids haven’t lost a thing this year...instead they’ve gained so much they wouldn’t have gained without this experience. I’m so proud to be their mom. Happy 19th birthday @jacobdoyle02 We are fiercely proud of you and love you so much!

I always read so much in the last couple weeks of the year, I could never have my “best of” choices finalized. Christmas break is my favorite time to read read read!
.
I’m finishing up All About Us and The Prettiest Star, and then have this awesome stack to tackle! What should I read next? So many good ones to choose from! Will any of these make my 2020 top ten?

Feeling festive with @ella.r.doyle & @kelly_k_doyle ! 🌲

This is the recipe my sister-in-law uses and it is the BEST tasting, no fail sugar cookie recipe. It’s from a really old issue of @tasteofhome magazine with a frosting recipe she wrote down in the margin. I could eat so many of these and never get tired of them! If you want the recipe let me know and I’ll dm you the picture! Is making decorated cut out cookies one of your Christmas traditions?

It’s a book giveaway! I often get people asking me for book recommendations. Talking books is one of my favorite things to do! So when @librofm gave me the opportunity to give away three audio copies of any audiobook I wanted to, I knew immediately which book I wanted to share.
.
@roblowe book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends is the audiobook I recommend to EVERYONE. It is a book I listened to years ago, not expecting to love it, but I absolutely did. First of all, Rob Lowe narrates...so there’s that lovely bonus. But Stories I Only Tell My Friends is a funny, raw, emotional, informative, peek inside of the life of a really fascinating celebrity.
.
I wasn’t a Rob Lowe super fan before. I haven’t watched West Wing (I know, I know), Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Rec, or any of his TV shows, but I have always been a HUGE Brat Pack fan. Well, after listening to this audiobook I am a big fan (and his other audiobook, Love Life, is great too).
.
Long story short, I have three codes through @librofm to give to 3 people. To enter, leave a comment on this post by midnight CST on 12/16 telling me what your favorite audiobook is and why! Also, definitely check out Libro.fm - the best audiobook platform that also gives back to local bookstores!

“I can’t wait for my seasonal depression to meet my year 2020 depression.” 😩
.
If S.A.D is something you worry about each year, but especially this year, let me introduce you to my seasonal affective disorder game changer, the @sunrisesensations light therapy lamp. I ordered one of these lamps last year at the recommendation of my friend @leslieradams and it is the best (& most stylish) light therapy lamp I’ve ever used. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it...it’s well worth the money.
.
@sunrisesensations has a new, smaller lamp called Bright Box. The size snd functionality is perfect for a nightstand or office desk. Let me know if you have any questions about how these lamps continue to help me fight those pesky winter blues! Check out Sunrise Sensations to find the right UV free light therapy box for you!

Alright, alright, alright! It’s time to talk about how we can support our local bookstore during the holidays and beyond! As you consider buying gifts this year, make sure you shop local for all the book people on your list! One unique and super easy way you can support your favorite local bookstores is with an audiobook subscription to @librofm Yes! Audiobooks! With Libro.fm you can financially support your local bookstore AND buy audiobooks all at the same time. Each audiobook purchase supports the independent book store of your choice! Do it for yourself and buy some audiobooks for friends too!
.

If you need audiobook ideas, hit me up. I’ve listened to so many great books this year that will make it on my top favorites list, including Greenlights by @officiallymcconaughey It’s narrated by the author and is so worth the listen! Your ears will thank you!
.
PS my favorite #localbookstore @rainydaybooks is under renovation which makes it even better that I can still safely support them from the comfort of my own home!

Have you ever dreamed of being a writer? 2 of the business coaching clients I’m currently working with have dreams of being a published fiction book author and cookbook author. Each week we’ve been chipping away at their big goals, making these dreams of theirs more and more of a reality. And each week I have this little nudging feeling inside that reminds me that writing a book was once a dream of mine...and I’ve gotten so far away from that dream. I barely even write anymore. Heck - writing an instagram caption is even a challenge. As someone who used to be a really good writer, that’s so frustrating to me. Where’d my voice go?
.

William Morrow Publishers recently sent me the book Make Me Rain: Poems and Prose by the incredibly gifted writer Nikki Giovanni. This book is full of poems and prose relevant to todays world. I imagined Giovanni walking around observing life, with a notebook tucked under her arm everywhere she went, and writing. Just pulling out the notebook and writing. I used to be that way and this beautiful book makes me want to write again.
.

Are you a writer? Do you journal, write poetry, write for fun, or are you working on a book? What does your writing practice look like? I think the biggest key for me is to just get back to it. Dedicate a time each day and at the very least just write - about life, observations, and more. Writer friends or journaling experts ...I’d love to hear what your writing practice looks like. Tips, tricks, ideas to help get what’s inside out on paper.
.

Thank you @williammorrowbooks for gifting me this beautiful book. It’s inspired and awakened something inside of me and I appreciate that so much!

Happy 17th birthday to the girl who tells the longest most random stories in the world, who is almost impossible to make cry even though she has the biggest heart, and who learned early on the power of complimenting someone on their shoes. May everything you’ve persevered through continue to shape you into the strong, caring, compassionate person you are. We love you and are so proud of you! Happy birthday @kelly_k_doyle 💗

Hello! How are you? Really?
I’ve been trying to distract myself today as we wait for a glimpse into our future tonight. My hope was to have a massive book review blog post done for you all, but I just didn’t get it all done. Soon! October was a fantastic 4 and 5 star reading month for me.
.
How are you feeling today? I hope you all remember that tonight’s results are now out of our control. You’ve voted (you have voted, right?), you’ve done your part...worrying and stressing right now won’t do any good. Do something kind for yourself this evening. Then wake up ready to face our new and hopefully hopeful future tomorrow! Much love. ❤️

Parenting is not for the weak of heart. My friend @howsweeteats recently told me being the mom of a boy is like having your heart broken little by little over their lifetime. It’s so true...in a good heartbroken kind of way because he will thrive, he’s so happy and this is what we’ve prepared him for. But damn we’ll miss him. I already do. (PS I held it together until the very last minute which we all know is probably a record for me). We love you @jacobdoyle02 ❤️Have so much fun!!

We’re soaking up the last handful of days before @jacobdoyle02 heads off to college and this unbelievable dreamy August weather. Can someone just freeze today please and keep things as they are for awhile longer (but with a better president & #justiceforbreonna )? Thank you very much 🙏🏻
.
And actually be careful what you wish for, right? I want Jacob to be able to go to college and have a great experience. So universe, if you are listening, just freezing the weather like today’s would be fine *if* you can give these college kids a great as can be on campus school year. My heart sometimes get ahead of logic.
