On Being a Mom

How do you feel about being a mother? Have you written about it? Being a mom is one of the most wonderful, difficult, exhilarating, trying, rewarding and important experiences in life. It's worth preserving our feelings about this all-encompassing job even if: we are short on time; our feelings are conflicted; we don't quite know how to say the things in our heart. This class will help you write your feelings On Being a Mom and give you the tools to create an easy and elegant mini-book about motherhood.

Autumn Baldwin is an experienced writer, scrapbooker and the mother of four boys. She's been published in Simple Scrapbooks, Creating Keepsakes and Scrapbook Trends and is currently a member of the inspiration collective at writeclickscrapbook.com. Autumn has a degree in creative writing and knows how hard it can be to put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) when it comes to the things that matter most. She offers writing exercises and examples that will make it easy for you to write in your own unique voice. And she encourages you to journal about both the wonderful and the not-so-wonderful parts of being a mom; both are real, authentic and acceptable parts of your experience.

Learning to write about motherhood will help you gain perspective about this hugely important part of your life. Once your journaling is written, your mini-book will come together in a snap because Autumn has pre-designed your journaling pages. Simply download the Microsoft Word templates and follow Autumn's instructions on customizing each template with your own journaling. When you pair your own words with favorite photos of you and your children, you'll end up with a small treasure that captures some of the biggest moments of your life.
