Blogging Between Diaper Changes and Naptime

Yesterday, I wrote a post directed towards my “older” crowd – the empty nesters, retired folks, and those with extra time on their hands. Today, I’d love to share with those of you who are moms with your days filled with caring for little ones. Changing diapers, navigating toddler tantrums, and savoring those sweet giggles keep you going from morning til night. It’s a busy season of life, but it’s also a creative one. You might feel like your hands are always full, but deep down you may have a desire to share your voice, your story, and maybe your handmade creations with the world.

If you’ve been thinking about starting a blog, I’m here to tell you: this is the perfect time. Your voice matters, and even in the midst of the chaos, you have something unique to offer.

Your Creativity Doesn’t Have to Be on Hold
It might feel like there’s no time to work on your blog or craft between naps, playdates, and meal prep. But remember, creativity doesn’t need large blocks of uninterrupted time. Your “in-between” moments—while your baby naps, during quiet playtime, or when they’re cuddled up with a book—can become your most productive and creative windows.

Blogging is flexible. It can fit into the pockets of your day, allowing you to express your creativity without sacrificing family time.

Your Voice is Powerful (And Needed!)
It’s easy to feel like your story or creations aren’t important or that there’s no room for your voice online. But nothing could be further from the truth. As a mom, you’re going through a journey that so many others are experiencing, and your perspective is valuable.

Whether you’re sharing the joy of making handmade baby clothes, tips on managing a crafting hobby while raising kids, or simply writing about motherhood, there are other moms out there who need to hear your story. They need to see someone like you balancing motherhood and creativity.

Progress Over Perfection
One of the hardest things for moms to embrace when blogging or running a small creative business is the idea of progress over perfection. Perfection feels impossible when your to-do list is long and your energy is short. But you don’t need perfect—you need progress.

Start small: write one post a week, or share just one of your handmade crafts at a time. As you get comfortable, you’ll find your voice grows stronger, and so will your blog. Celebrate the little wins—whether that’s publishing your first post or receiving your first comment.

You’re Building Something for Yourself (and for Your Kids)
Blogging isn’t just for your readers; it’s for you, too. As moms, we pour so much into our children, but it’s important to have something that is ours. Your blog can be your creative outlet, your way of connecting with others, and even a potential income stream in the future.

Even more, you’re setting an example for your children. You’re showing them that it’s possible to balance motherhood with following your passions. When they see you creating, they’re inspired to create, too.

So, to all the busy moms out there, know this: your voice matters, your creativity matters, and the world needs to hear from you. Don’t wait until your kids are grown to start sharing your journey. Start today, in the “in-between” moments, and watch your blog and business grow alongside your little ones.
