Memories

For the one weekend I’m gone all year, their dad pulled out all the stops. One hike led them along a boardwalk to a cave. Another up a mountain to a hazy view of the city. No time for the movies because of the biking and scootering adventure, then dinner out, then off to the greasy spoon for classic sundaes. They’d had even better a weekend than we’d hoped, but in school on Monday morning my kindergartener drew his Weekend News as nothing but a blurry, boxy composite of himself and me above the words: “Mommy came home.” –Jenn Scheck-Kahn

Creative Rest

If you wake up feeling exhausted or dreading going to work, you might be lacking creative rest. The purpose of creative rest is to feel inspired about something, whether you’re taking a walk in nature or doing a craft. “Creative rest can mean engaging in an activity purely for fun like coloring or cooking,” Dr. Ruan says.

Your home can offer creative rest by providing materials for hobbies or reflecting an aesthetic style that brings you joy and relaxation, Wu says. Examples of creative rest include:Having a craft room or drawer that feeds your creativity

  • Letting your mind wander 
  • Putting together a puzzle
  • Reading a book in a cozy lounge chair
  • Doodling or appreciating art
