Balancing writing and motherhood is no joke, but somehow, I make it work (with lots of effort and a touch of magic ✨). If you’ve ever wondered what a week in my life looks like, I’m taking you behind the scenes in my latest YouTube video: MY WEEKLY ROUTINE | Writer and SAHM Life.
In this video, I share the messy, beautiful reality of writing my upcoming book Arrow Bound while also keeping up with daily life. Spoiler: It’s a mix of creative bursts, endless meal-making, and finding little moments of peace amidst the chaos.
What You’ll See in This Video
📖 Writing & Worldbuilding – As I work on Arrow Bound, I juggle drafting, and revising. Some days the words flow, and other days, well… let’s just say writer’s block is real. But progress is progress!
🍳 Cooking Nonstop – My toddler eats every two hours (seriously!), so the kitchen is basically my second workspace. From quick snacks to family meals, I’m always making something.
🧹 Cleaning & Chores – The never-ending cycle of laundry, dishes, and tidying up keeps me on my toes. Writing in a messy space? Not ideal. So I do my best to stay on top of it (even if it doesn’t always go as planned).
🌿 Getting Outside – Whether it’s a walk with my son or a quick breath of fresh air, stepping outside helps me reset and refuel my creativity.
It’s a little chaotic, a little magical, and a whole lot of multitasking. If you love seeing the behind-the-scenes of a writer’s life (with a side of mom duties), this video is for you!
