ABOUT

The Short:

Hi there! I’m Sheri Nelson. I started Relish as a way to be more intentional with the time I spend with my little loves. I wanted to inspire more creativity, fun, imagination, and joy in our daily lives. Childhood is meant to be full of magic, beauty, and wonder. This is a space where we share our small moments, and learn to relish in the every day. We hope you feel inspired to create your own small intentional moments and find more joy in creating with your children.

The Very Long:

I love being a Mom. Nothing has ever brought me more joy. If you asked me as a teenager what I saw in my future, I would not have included having more than two kids. It would have happened much later in life, after I had created a successful career. The mom roll was always a little terrifying to think of.  I am the youngetst in my family, and hated baby sitting growing up. It wasn’t until I started having neices and nephews that I even thought about it being a positive possibility.

Fast forward a few years, and becoming a mom just after my 21st birthday, I found the roll of motherhood to be so rewarding and fulfilling. And terrifying. And crazy. And exhausting. I’m sure many of you understand that being a parent suddenly brings out your best and worst. I loved being a mom so much, but felt like I absolutely had no idea what I was doing and was questioning myself at every turn.

After having three beautiful children, I still have so many days/moments where I feel like I don’t have a clue. I feel lost. Being a Mom is everything to me. I love these babies more than I could love anything in the world. As my oldest is suddenly growing close to the double digits, my middle child heading into kindergarten, and my youngest going to preschool this fall, I find myself wanting to cherish every single moment I have with them.

As I think back on my childhood, I have so many wonderful memories of wondering outdoors, feeling dirt between my fingers and toes, creating fairy worlds, splashing in puddles, making up games with friends, creating stories in my mind… it was all just so magical.

I feel as if the world is spinning faster and faster, and I don’t want my children to miss out on these kinds of moments.

This blog is a way for me to share some of the magic from my childhood with my children and hopefully inspire some magic and creativy of their own. It’s a way for me to get back in touch with things I love to do and to grow my hobbies and talents, and show my kids how important it is to relish in the small moments, no matter where they are in life.
