As kids, my brother and I rode through the mountains in a unicorn-decorated van during summer-long roadcations. We tagged along while our parents visited artists from their gallery and practiced mindfulness at Unitarian retreats. I didn’t know it then, but those adventures were quietly shaping how I see the world.
Now, I share thoughtful blog posts about art, nature, mindfulness, sustainability, and family life with an open-minded view. If you’re into creative ideas, endless curiosity, and savoring the moment, you will feel at home here.
I used to think peace came from slowing down, but lately, I think it’s more about noticing while we’re moving.
Hey, I’m Stacy Jo. Mom, artist, creekside wanderer, and the Chick behind the words. I share bite-sized posts about art, nature, mindfulness, the realities of family life—the beauty hiding in the ordinary. I’m so happy you’re here and hope you enjoy what you see. Feel free to leave a comment! Please explore the blog and discover something that resonates with you.
