Nebula Notebook is a warm community of creative mothers who believe it’s possible to make space for creativity even when life is bananas. 🍌🍌🍌

The name Nebula Notebook is inspired by the notebooks I start every time I decide to work on a new project. I call them my nebula notebooks to encourage my brain to slow down, dream, and explore, the same way I would if I was floating through a beautiful nebula. ✨ 🪐 ✨

In this nebula notebook, you’ll find Mothers Who Make interviews and monthly edits with fresh inspiration.

Paid subscribers also get access to Play Dates with guest artists!

Play Dates are a fun, easy way to connect and create. Each one includes a short video interview and a quick creative exercise that you can do in the margins of your day, like write a joke or try a new color palette. (Interviews are recorded, so you can watch on your own schedule.) You’ll walk away feeling inspired, never overwhelmed. The comments are private, so you can share your work, ask questions, celebrate wins, and cheer each other on. We will dabble in different genres, try new mediums, and PLAY!

Don’t want to miss a thing? Paid subscribers automatically get access to each play date, and you can cancel anytime. 😘

Hi! I’m Heidi!

I write books for kids and essays for grown ups. I’m also the author of Quickening: The Art of Being a Creative Mother. I’m here to help you find ease and joy in the creative process, so you can keep going—even if you only have a few minutes a day to make something. You matter. Your ideas matter. Your experience matters. Right here. Right now. Even in this messy, demanding season of life.

I’m so glad you’re here!
