- Haven’t posted here in a while. It’s been hard to find my footing the feed feels a little quiet, the rhythm hard to catch. But I miss the slower corners of the internet, the ones where people still talk like humans. Thinking about showing up here again. Any good follow recs?
- New post about tomato abundance colliding with September schedules. Spoiler: the tomatoes don’t care about calendars. 😅🍅 #blog #motherhood #momlife #august #tomatoes grissobel.substack.com/p/the-tomato...
- This week's newsletter is live. I've been writing about the small, ordinary shifts that shape our days, and how recalibration is never just a one-time thing but an ongoing practice. #writing #blog #motherhood #momlife #rhythms grissobel.substack.com/p/finding-rh...
- New piece on the accumulated weight of being responsible for small humans while your own reserves run low. Why some seasons just resist neat conclusions and that's perfectly human. #motherhood #momlife #sleep #writing #blog #thoughts #rest grissobel.substack.com/p/the-exhaus...

- Sent this week's letter about school starting and that particular quality of morning quiet after drop-off. A day behind schedule, which feels fitting when writing about learning to let go of control. #blog #motherhood #writing #momlife #backtoschool #thoughts grissobel.substack.com/p/when-ready...
- Reposted by gris.Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
- Posted this one just under the wire. About backpacks, meatballs, and parenting through impossible headlines. #writing #blog #motherhood #momlife #thoughts #school #palestine grissobel.com/hearthnotes/...

- Apparently the secret to boxed cake that tastes bakery-level is… yogurt. Greek yogurt. Half a cup. That’s it. (Kid-approved over ice cream, so, case closed.) #motherhood #momlife #blog #baking #funfetti #kidapproved grissobel.com/kitchennotes...
- Still trying to find more of my people here — If you’re building something thoughtful, story-first, creative, emotional, slow, or strange in a good way… drop your handle, or someone else’s. Let’s find each other. #writing #motherhood #makers #slowmedia #creativepractice #flyfishing #books
- What if almost ready is the most honest place we get to be? A letter about browser tabs, school prep, and the part of me that isn’t ready at all. #motherhood #momlife #writing #school #blog #thoughts #catlife grissobel.substack.com/p/when-almos...
- We added a new member to the family, she chooses to sleep in the sink. A new letter coming tomorrow, it’s about ache, and fear, and the impossible love, and letting go. #motherhood #writing #blog #thoughts #momlife #catlife
- I've been quiet here while writing and processing. Turns out while everyone's posting supply lists, I needed to write about the harder part: learning to let go. New story about the back-to-school feelings nobody talks about. #motherhood #momlife #writing #blog #school grissobel.com/hearthnotes/...
- The baby tossed his Cheerios. I picked them up. He tossed more. The dog thinks we’re doing great. Honestly, so do I. #momlife #writing #motherhood #breakfast #thoughts #blog grissobel.com/hearthnotes/...

- That feeling when you have something to say but don't know what it is? Wrote about it. #writing #blog #motherhood #life grissobel.substack.com/p/what-if-yo...
- Been thinking about how my energy sets the tone for the whole house more than any plan I make. New letter is about learning to work with our actual mornings instead of fighting them. #motherhood #writing #thoughts #mornings grissobel.substack.com/p/when-summe...
- You know that morning feeling? Kids needing things, coffee getting cold, everything happening at once. Had this thought pop up: maybe we don't need to wait for peace and quiet to actually be here. Maybe we can just notice the madness as it happens. #motherhood #writing #thoughts
- I’ve been paying more attention to the atmosphere of our mornings — not just the routines, but the emotional weather. It’s easy to focus on what I need to feel grounded, but my kids are learning something from the way we begin the day too. #thoughts #writing #motherhood
- There’s a version of summer I used to picture: quiet mornings, sunlight through the window, hot coffee untouched. Then came the real version. And while it looks different, it’s still something worth noticing. Wrote about that here: grissobel.com/hearthnotes/... #motherhood #summer #writing
- Farmers market mornings. Kids with juice-stained fingers. Wandering without a plan, the quiet joy stays with me. #motherhood #life #writing #farmersmarket #freshflowers
- Rest looks so different with kids. Whisking pancake batter while my daughter took turns with the spoon. The oven did the rest. #motherhood #momlife #baking
- This week I wrote about the kind of rest that shows up in ordinary moments, when we stop trying to earn it and just let it happen. #writing #substack #rest #parenting #motherhood #baking grissobel.substack.com/p/a-breath-y...
- Rest, for those balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, has to be redefined. Sometimes it's choosing to pause between an email and helping with homework, to breathe, to let the mind go quiet. I wrote about what's actually helped: grissobel.com/hearthnotes/... #blog #motherhood #writing #rest
- A nice Florida post. 🦝 ❤️
- Kiddo spent five full minutes trying to do a handstand. Kept falling over, kept laughing. We clapped every time. It meant something to her, so it meant something to us. #firsts #motherhood #smallwins
- Sometimes tending looks like watering a plant before it wilts. Sometimes it looks like watching a child carry rocks across the yard, one bucket at a time. I wrote about these small moments, and the quiet discipline of noticing. #fromthehearth #motherhood #slowliving grissobel.com/hearthnotes/...
