More About Summer

Hello! So obviously from the last post, we established I view the Summer like this: But more accurately, it’s something like this: Sure, it looks lovely outside…and super inviting…and totally awesome. But I’m not exactly built for it. At all. For example, I have visited the pool exactly once so far, and managed to summon aContinue reading “More About Summer”

Season of Awesome

Hello! It’s officially Summer! Yay! 🙂 There is so much I love about this season, but honestly it seems like if I don’t make an effort to pay attention I can wind up in September wondering where the last three months have gone… It’s usually such a busy time of year– taking full advantage ofContinue reading “Season of Awesome”

Home Work

Hello! I was taught that to successfully work from home required discipline and boundaries. The work day should carefully reflect the expectations of a traditional office… except without a dress code. (Working in pajamas isn’t a myth, it’s more like a rite of passage.) Anyway, since I knew that model worked so well previously, I’veContinue reading “Home Work”

Now on Etsy!

Hello! The Etsy shop is officially open! I added a couple digital items — from the “Go & See” series — to get started. And I’m hoping to start offering physical versions as well, very soon! In the meantime, I’m excited to unveil my latest series, “Meritless Badges”! I’ve been reading A Woman’s Guide toContinue reading “Now on Etsy!”

Work In Progress

Hello! So, I think my quest to become more organized was a result of the realization that I am in fact an adult with sh*t to do. For what it’s worth, I started the bullet journal and it’s been super helpful. It doesn’t actually get anything done, that still is all internally motivated; but atContinue reading “Work In Progress”

Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail?

Hello! About a few weeks ago I bought a planner. I loved having a desk calendar at my last job. It was pretty much the only way to ensure I would get stuff done. But now my desk space is at a premium, between my computer, the stacks of reference materials, tax paperwork that needsContinue reading “Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail?”

Artist in a Coffeeshop

Hello! I’ve been lacking inspiration lately. It’s hard to find something new to inspire you when you sit at work or in your home office day after day after day…as I have been known to do. I’d been reading Steal Like an Artist and it suggested to shake things up and get outside. So naturally, IContinue reading “Artist in a Coffeeshop”

Same Site, New Look!

Hello! When I decided to create the website for Summer Child Designs I used my fairly serious customer service business voice. I thought that was what I needed, since I was trying to start a business after all. So I wanted to keep it sleek and professional, albeit still kind of “business casual.” And IContinue reading “Same Site, New Look!”

Better Late than Never

Hello! I realize that I have “somehow” lost track of time. It’s been about two weeks since I’ve had anything to say. And I’m not a big fan of rambling, if I can help it (and when I’m writing, I can…usually). It’s been a weird and busy two weeks — the kind where you knowContinue reading “Better Late than Never”

Cheers!

Hello! Today is New Year’s Eve…Eve! I’m pretty excited, as this is one of my favorite holidays. I’m generally fearful of the “unknown” (which is like, everything), but not on New Year’s Eve/Day. I love the promise of hope that it brings and the possibilities. Plus, resolutions are the best! I know I can’t control the comingContinue reading “Cheers!”
