I have been working hard on a personal project for the last 3 months or so that I wanted to share with all of you. This summer I was feeling a little burnt-out and decided that I needed to put some time and effort into something that could incorporate many of the things that I love in life. This ended up becoming a blog called “One Bowl Parenting“.

The whole idea behind the blog is sharing what we do as parents anyway with the rest of the parent world. I wanted to create a fun, useful resource for other people and in order to do that I called upon some of my friends to share their expertise as well. I have really been enjoying combining my photography, graphic design, crafting, and day-to-day parenting stories in a creative way.

I mention this blog to you for two reasons. The first reason is that I feel we all need to find ways to further explore the things that make us happy in our personal lives. And if you can find a way to tie that into your professional life – go for it! The more passion you have for your job, the more people are going to be drawn to you and your work. Please, if you are a parent and/or would like to see what I am passionate about, go check out my blog.

The second reason that I mention the blog is that we are doing our first giveaway and I want to share it with as many people as possible! My good friend and talented artist, Jessica Buickerood is giving away one of her amazing Recipe Calendars for 2012. For the all of the details and info on how to enter to win, just go here.

I would love to hear from you. How do you feed your soul and stay inspired? Do you have side projects that you work on or is work your main passion in life?
