Come to think of it, that may not be what you mean.<br />Lucky you to have a smart phone at the ready to take photos for your blog.

The only time I can't jot down notes is when my daughter's in a play or at at the children's music concerts. I think you're correct. When people hear that you're a stay-at-home mom, they think you have all this time. I decided to start college once the twins, my babies, started school.<br />Thank you so much for visiting my Adventures in Writing blog.

Many of your suggestions are ones I use. I write when I first wake up and nobody is up yet. I write on my lunch break. I'll even write when my kids are at their activities. Wherever and whenever I can squeeze it in. I'm glad you seemed to have a productive summer anyway!

I'm definitely a notes person. I leave notes for my children on mirrors, TV, and doors, and for myself on the refrigerator and steering wheel of the car. <br />Oh, and I always believe that humor helps.

Yes, I've always wrote in journals. I'll have to check out Natalie's book Writing Down the Bones to pick up other ideas. Thanks so much for sharing this.

I always wrote in a journal when I had no time for any other kinds of writing, but after reading about Natalie Goldberg's (Writing Down the Bones) idea of "writing practice" I really wish I'd done that as well.
