This week, I got to talk with Kaitlin B. Curtice about her new children’s book Spring’s Miracles. It’s such a beautiful story about a Potawatomi girl named Dani, who’s learning to be brave while exploring the wonders of spring. Kaitlin shares the meaning behind the story, the importance of honoring Indigenous traditions, and how this season of new life can help us see the world—and ourselves—a little differently. I loved this conversation and can’t wait for you to hear it! https://www.kaitlincurtice.com/ Buy her book: https://sites.prh.com/an-indigenous-celebration-of-nature-kaitlin-curtice/springs-miracles/ Download her free seek-and-find activity sheet: https://sites.prh.com/an-indigenous-celebration-of-nature-kaitlin-curtice/springs-miracles/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kaitlincurtice/ Support the show Follow Moms Who Create: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/momswhocreatepodcast/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/momswhocreatepodcast Monthly Meeting Book Club - https://www.facebook.com/groups/momswhocreatebookclub Website - https://www.momswhocreate.com/

How many of you have a half-finished creative project just sitting there, waiting for you to come back to it? Maybe it’s a book, a painting, a business idea, or even something as simple as a scrapbook you swore you’d finish two years ago. (No judgment—I have plenty of these, too.) Starting a project? That’s the fun part. The ideas, the excitement, the this is going to be amazing energy. But finishing? That’s where things get tricky. So today, we’re going to talk about how to actually finish what you start—even when motivation fades, life gets busy, or perfectionism sneaks in. Sound good? Let’s do this!

This week I sent out the monthly newsletter, and I felt the urge to include some scripture. So if you aren’t subscribed, it was a list of 6 Bible verses to give you a bit of encouragement and purpose on your creative journey. I’ve been following the Bible reading plan daily this year after finding one I loved that a friend recommended to me. It’s called The Bible Recap with Tara-Leigh Cobb. I also believe it’s a podcast, too. It’s been really awesome diving into the scriptures as I’m studying it and reading it all chronologically this year. God is, literally, the ultimate Creator. and He made us in His image. That means He designed us to be creative too, right?! Think about it that way. So today, I want to share some verses that will remind you of your purpose, your strength, and the encouragement we have in Christ as we create. Grab a pen and paper and let’s get started.  The Art of Motherhood NewsletterA fun, creative newsletter for moms who love books, art, and making things.

We’re busting some creative myths that I know too many of us are still believing. We often hold ourselves back because of these myths. Creativity doesn’t have to be perfect, and it certainly doesn’t have to be this big, overwhelming thing. So, let’s dive in and challenge these myths, shall we?

I’m not a poet. I’ve never taken a poetry class or really studied it much at all. (That said, I do have a small poetic claim to fame: I once had a haiku about coffee published in the Heartland Society of Women Writers. So, technically, I’m a published poet!) But poetry isn’t something I consider a regular part of my creative repertoire. Still, I’ve always been intrigued by it. There’s something so powerful about capturing a thought, a feeling, or a moment in just a few words. And as a busy mom, I love the idea of expressing creativity in a way that doesn’t take a lot of time. That’s why I decided to dedicate today’s episode to something I think you’ll find inspiring and accessible: one-liner poetry. Even if you’ve never written a poem in your life, this might just spark a creative interest you didn’t know you had.
