A Place for the Mom, the Maker, and the Work

I’ve always made things. Journals, books, art, systems. It’s how I understand the world and stay connected to myself.

But when I became a mom — and kept working, and kept trying to live a creative life — I realized I needed a place to hold the full version of that story. Not just the crafts. Not just the parenting. Not just the work.

That’s what Dear EmmaLee is. A space where all of it lives.

What this space is for:

This isn’t a productivity blog or a parenting blog or a creative blog. It’s a little bit of all of those, because that’s what real life feels like. I write about the things I’m learning, the systems that are working, the routines that help me breathe, and the creative outlets that make me feel like me again.

I live in Boulder City, Nevada and work in entertainment in Las Vegas. I’m a mom who didn’t expect to love motherhood this much. I also didn’t expect to need creative expression even more now than I did before.

So here I am. Making space for the crafts… the thoughts; making space for the tiny joys and the weird overwhelm and the lists that keep us sane.

Who this is for:

Women who work.

Women who create.

Women who are mothers and women who are not.

Women who care deeply about their homes and the people in them.

Women who are holding a lot and want to feel a little more like themselves.

If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
