Keep it Creative, Ma

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Jul 29, 2009

As I sit here writing out this blog post, I’m surrounded by:

To me, this looks like an overwhelming mess. To my children, however, it looks inspirational. They look at the various “going’s on’s” on my desk and their imaginations run wild. They love seeing the “process” by which I work and complete my schoolwork, and are equally inspired by the various files necessary to help my husband run his business.

I never really thought of my mess being a positive influence. This is the only area of my house (we won’t discuss the basement . . . that is another matter entirely) where a mess is consistently present. I have so much “in progress” that I can’t interrupt it when I leave work, or else I’ll never finish it or remember where I left off!

So, without realizing what I was doing, I’m keeping it creative!!
