Ready to Hear Yourself (your truest self!) Again!?

By Leave a Comment

Friends!

Today is the day! I’ve teased you for a while, that I have been creating an online course and today is the day you can get involved. For 3 days only, I have marked down an early, bird purchase to grab my course for just $55!

I have created an online digital course to help exhausted, mentally worn down, busy adults, parents and caregivers reclaim some life. This was me. Maybe it is you? In this course, you will go from feeling overwhelmed and mentally exhausted to feeling empowered and excited, while experiencing new confidence and enjoyment of daily interaction and intentional journeying together with those you love for the long haul.

Ready to Hear Yourself (your truest self!) Again!?

This course walks you through 5 daily habits that can help you regain the life you are PRESENT in (your mind is where your body is), while building a connection with your kids that goes the distance.

 

This is where you come in…

For the next three days, I’m opening up 10 spots to enroll in my ($99) course at a massive discount (get it for only $55 right now) in exchange for less than five minutes of your time once per week over the next 5 weeks.

The course-which goes live January 2023-has been written, but I will be taking the next 5 weeks to film, edit, create graphics, printables and slides with insight…from YOU!

I’ll send you a short and sweet email each Wednesday morning with no more than 3 questions. All you have to do is vote multiple choice for your favorite idea or answer a simple question.

And on January 12, after I have opened up enrollment to the public at the full price, you’ll receive the finalized course (and any bonuses I offer during my launch)!

So, are you in??

I’d love for you to be part of this experience and new venture for Spoonful of Imagination! It’s been a year long process of implementing these habits in my own life (that I roll out in my course, with lots of stories and applications), getting to a place to share, and dreaming that being vulnerable with my journey can help you in yours.

 

If you’ve been struggling to enjoy life daily, and intentionally show up for yourself and kids, but feel like life is racing by and you’re left reacting to it rather than intentionally choosing and imagining the possibilities this is your chance to get in at the lowest rate I will ever sell this course for. Plus, you get to have a say in what will be included in the course!

Click here to enroll today at a special discounted rate: $55

Did I mention, you’ll have lifetime access to the course? That means if January is crazy for you, you can watch and follow along whenever is good for you!

If you have any questions, shoot me a message back! In it with you friends. Thank you for letting me share my new venture with you. It’s my dream and prayer that this course helps you re-imagine a life that you feel empowered and excited to show up for every single day. You matter. The world needs a FULL version of you!

Imagine the Possibilities,
Erica

30 Days of Imagination

By Leave a Comment

Happy Friday Friends!!

Whew, how was this week for you!?

Next month, I turn a big milestone. Do you know anyone else born in 1982? It’s a big year for us. As I have been on this journey to reconnect to my natural wiring, saying goodbye to false expectations, and welcoming in new habits of health, play, rest, and LIFE, I found myself processing this birthday more than the usual ones.

We all go through seasons of life where it might be more a time of hustle verse a time of slowing down and reflection. What really stands out is that we all can use a reset from time to time in the midst of those seasons. In my reset season, I sometimes still just need an extra little nudge. Hello to being human. I’m thankful for the friends that get me out on a walk and remind me of the things I ultimately am working towards.

Let’s Do a 30 Day Imagination Journey Together!

Do you need a little nudge as well? Let’s journey together. Today, I am beginning a 30 day imagination challenge, and I would love to invite you to join me. I’ve made the calendar. You can take each exercise as elaborate or simple as you want. Get your copy and share this link with a friend as well who can use this fun.

Imagining the possibilities is a form of the creative process.

Imagining is a skill you learn and practice. Show up every day with me for the next month to practice skills, stay inspired, and allow the interesting, rewarding possibilities to emerge. Being young at heart is just a lifestyle. We got this.

Let’s view it as an opportunity to realign with who we are, what we want, and what we’re doing about it. Think about it. Could you use something like this!? GAME ON! This will go until November 5 (the eve of my 40th birthday). I cant wait to see and be inspired by how you take each little prompt! I’ll be sharing my journey daily on social media.

Please tag us on Instagram and use the hashtag #spoonfulofimagination30days if you do as well, so we can journey together!

P.S. We started easy today with listening to some classical music. I haven’t done that in a long, long time but have been wanting too as my friend, Jonna, does when she works! It was so much fun! You can see more of my exercise in this YouTube clip.

The Creative Process Can Teach Us Life Lessons!

Hello friends,

However today is going, I hope in this little moment, of this post popping into your day, it brings a smile to your face -or just the feeling of being seen. Life can be oh so hard. After sewing dozens and dozens of cards last week, I had this thought how all the cards were layered with so many colors and different movements. The stitching was not perfect and each card had little quirks all over. Yet, when I step back, I see how beautiful the finished cards are all together. Our lives can be seen like that too.

Life can be heavy, hard and also light and whimsical. We have awkward bends in the journey, yet this is OUR life to live.

In being real, it has already been a Monday over here. I recently read that “we” as a people group are in transition. One month last summer, 4 million people quit their jobs. Wow. I’m not the only one trying to figure out what’s next. It’s a messy place to be. I often turn to creating and creating with my family to ease the thought sorting and help me find a refreshed perspective.

What about you?

This past weekend our Jeremiah finally launched his YouTube channel. He’s been asking for a while, but it just now became the right time. Hearing him dream, laugh, and process what could make others laugh was so fun.

We don’t have to be perfect and have things all figured out to have beautiful lives. We just need to keep moving and I’d also say keep DREAMING. One step at a time.

The creative process can teach us powerful life lessons like how our point of view can impact how things turn out. Check out this short reel where I walk you through this thought.

So, wherever today is hitting you, get out and create. The process will be so good for your mind and heart!

If you happen to need a colorful heart to help yours, use one of mine.

Launching a New Chapter

By 3 Comments

We started blogging a little over 10 years ago. I know for sure because we started when I was pregnant with Jeremiah who turned 10-years-old a few months ago. It all started as a way to stay in touch with our family and friends while we were spending a lot of time on the road. In between my family updates, I started posting Friday Project Spotlights as a way of sharing simple DIY craft projects for my friends to do with their kids. With no attempts to market these posts, somehow they picked up a groundswell of momentum. Before I knew it, hundreds of people were tuning in each week to craft with me. We rebranded from our family blog into Spoonful of Imagination and those hundreds became thousands. It’s so humbling. Truly. As someone who struggles with dyslexia and the fear of stringing words together, it never stops surprising me that people keep showing up.

This blog has stretched me to grow and try things that I would have never ever imagined. Matt and the kids have gone from cheering me on to becoming my partners in this platform. They have helped me write, build, take pictures, brainstorm, share my posts, develop craft kits, ship out items from our shop, and eventually build a non-profit art studio. What a ride!

But we are keenly aware that it would have never happened if it weren’t for you – our loyal friends, readers, and fellow creators of Spoonful of Imagination. Thank you. No seriously… THANK YOU!!!

As we’ve grown and our kids needs have shifted and changed, I’ve honestly put this space on the back burner for a while. For those of you who have felt that shift, I’m excited to announce that is about to change.

With Matt working full time in video and film production and me working full time at managing the art studio, we’ve both found that our creative energy is being poured out like never before. We are so thrilled and privileged to be able to help so many people and organizations create. What we have found though is that we need to have a creative project that is “ours.” Something that we can do together, as a family. That brings us back to here, Spoonful of Imagination.

Now, as an all-hands-on-deck team, we are working on putting together new content for you, our loyal friends and readers.

We will have new posts and DIY tutorials just like the one I posted the other day. But it’s better than that! Starting today we are launching (well kinda re-launching, but I’ll get back to that in a minute) a YouTube channel dedicated to Spoonful of Imagination vlog content!

This is something we’ve been talking about, dreaming about, and planning for months. Oh my goodness, let me start by saying, “RESPECT!” to all of the faithful YouTube creators out there. We have spent a lot of time studying other channels out there. We have learned so much from people like Peter McKinnon, Casey Neistat, Art Hub for Kids, Matti Haapoja, That YouTub3 Family, just to name a few… and we’ve decided to toss our hat into the vlogging ring. We have a couple of new videos on the channel now. You’ll also see some OLD videos. We decided to leave some of those up for memories sake and to serve as a reminder of how far we’ve come.

Here’s a quick introduction from Matt and me just sharing the heart behind the channel and our vision for what we hope to accomplish. It’s the most boring video we will create, we promise. After this, it starts to get super colorful and very fun.

Like everything we’ve always done, our desire is to help other people create. We believe there is life changing power in being creative and if we can encourage someone to add a Spoonful of Imagination to their life, then we consider that a win!

Here’s our first DIY Tutorial. Enjoy! Oh and as we’ve learned from our YouTube mentors, please subscribe to the channel, like the videos, and share with your family and friends. Your comments, likes, and shares have been the fuel that have kept this blog going for so long. We would be honored to have you join us in stoking the fires for this latest chapter of our journey!
