Office Space

No, I'm not referring to one of my favorite movies about corporate cubicle hell. I'm referring to my new office digs. Yes, for those of us stay-at-home moms, it's the little things in life that bring us joy.

Since starting this blog and with freelance copywriting on the horizon, I have felt the need for my very own office space, minus the cubicle walls, thank you very much. As a woman with simple needs and of the low-maintenance variety, I simply needed my own space that allowed me to create. That's it. No bells and whistles. Just something that said, "Steph was here." So with little time to create a space just for me in a spare room or in our basement, my husband and I chose the kitchen which seems to be the catchall room anyway. The space itself is quite small, but I'm stoked that I finally have my own space, that's just for me. And I am confident that I'm not alienating myself from the family so if they need me, I'm here.

I'm such a dork that I get excited about these things but it really means the world to me to have a place I can call my own. Especially for my writing, which has always been a part of me, even when I tried for it not to be, it will always be a part of me because it's who I am. And here I am. And here is my office space.
