Teaching, journaling, and finding joy—one page at a time.

Hi, I’m Stephanie—writer, educator, wife, mom, and lifelong notebook-carry-er.

Here on Writing Mindset, I share real-life reflections on motherhood, wellness, creative journaling, intentional planning, and teaching reading and writing to kids. Whether I’m scribbling ideas in the margins, testing out a new recipe from Pinterest, or savoring my third cup of coffee (no shame!), this space is all about finding joy in the everyday and using writing as a tool to live more mindfully.
