Creating intentional homes.   Creating intentional routines.   Creating intentional lives.   But today, I want to talk about something that has been weighing on me—literally.   I am four years postpartum, and if I'm being completely honest, I have been struggling with my weight.   Not the kind of struggle where I want to lose five pounds before vacation. I mean the kind of struggle that follows you into dressing rooms, shows up in family photos, and quietly...]]></description><link>https://www.softsidescreaming.com/post/can-we-talk-about-the-weight</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a24e84d115a401e0efb74fd</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 03:49:39 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/eaf85e_ca41bd80952e4a62813d692078b7b0f9~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_736,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mo Shegog</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creating a Home That Feels Like an Exhale]]></title><description><![CDATA[There is something special about walking into a home that instantly makes your shoulders relax. Not because it's spotless. Not because it looks like it belongs in a magazine. But because it feels lived in, loved, and safe. As we've been exploring intentional living this month, I started thinking about what intentionality looks like inside our homes. We spend so much of our lives there, yet many of us are moving through our spaces on autopilot. Stepping over piles, ignoring clutter, and...]]></description><link>https://www.softsidescreaming.com/post/creating-a-home-that-feels-like-an-exhale</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a24e28a7af0f73356946d87</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 03:23:54 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/eaf85e_a12d8868869d4520ac8448767dae5163~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_736,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mo Shegog</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[June: The Month of Intention]]></title><description><![CDATA[Introducing this months theme Intention]]></description><link>https://www.softsidescreaming.com/post/june-the-month-of-intention</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a1c8e82b1e07a04572f8153</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 04:00:20 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/eaf85e_61301d38e21940749e1b900117ecbb30~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_736,h_907,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mo Shegog</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Woman Should Be Gentle with Herself Too]]></title><description><![CDATA[Somewhere along the way, women were taught that softness only mattered when someone else was around to appreciate it. That being delicate was something reserved for romance. For marriage. For being chosen. As if femininity only comes alive in the presence of a partner. But I’ve been thinking lately about decorum. About gentleness. About the quiet art of being soft with yourself, even when nobody is watching. Especially then. There is something beautiful about a woman who treats herself...]]></description><link>https://www.softsidescreaming.com/post/a-woman-should-be-gentle-with-herself-too</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a111e076c812ba79b30757e</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 May 2026 03:38:21 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/eaf85e_5f65794aaa804ad7b52d05f4ab8e11be~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_736,h_981,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mo Shegog</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What’s In My Bag? (as promised )]]></title><description><![CDATA[I’ve always loved these kinds of posts because you can learn so much about a person from the little things they carry every day. A bag is kind of like a tiny time capsule of your current life season. Mine? A mix of motherhood, “just in case,” soft girl essentials, and survival mode. So, let’s get into it. First things first: lip gloss. Always. I genuinely feel incomplete without one nearby.

It’s a thousand invisible acts stitched together by love, sacrifice, and sheer will. It’s showing up when you’re tired, giving when you feel empty, and holding it all together with hands that rarely get to rest. Some days, it looks like laughter echoing through the house. Other days, it looks like survival. And both count. We don’t talk enough about the in-between, the messy middle where moms live.

That’s pretty much what happened to me these past few months. I stepped back, focused on what needed my attention, and before I knew it, things in my life looked completely different. First big change? I moved to a new state. Not a quick getaway. A full reset. New streets, new routines, new everything. Even a simple Target run felt like a mini adventure at first.

No dramatic “logging off” post. No explanation. I just… got quiet. And if I’m being honest, part of me wondered if that silence would cost me something. Momentum. Creativity. Maybe even the version of myself that had the courage to show up here in the first place.
