Meet the Heart Behind Doodle Horse

Some mornings are for rushing, but the best ones are for coffee and quiet. I’m an almost 36-year-old mom currently attempting the great Olympic sport of juggling: work, home, school, a husband, a son, and the beautiful, messy blur of life in general.

For some time, I’ve shared daily quotes and Bible verses on Facebook and Instagram. Motivation, faith, and belief are what pushed me to this point, but it was a specific prayer that changed the trajectory of my “inner monologue”.

The Answer in the Quiet

I prayed and asked for an idea—something new, something fruitful, and something I could grow as a sideline project. Almost immediately, the answer arrived: an adult coloring book for women, woven together with daily reflections and art.

It’s a tough project. It requires hard work and a lot of late-night writing, but it has shifted the way I see the world. I realized that I wasn’t the only one struggling to keep the “mental load” from spilling over.

Beyond the Scrap Paper

There are so many of us—moms, freelancers, even men—who find themselves drowning in the logistics of a household. We’re battling cooking, cleaning, and shopping lists written on tattered pieces of scrap paper that inevitably go missing.

I decided to solve that problem. I will create planners, calendars, and useful tools designed with love and care to help others find their feet. Producing things with that level of heart takes time, but I have never been happier.

And there is a little more to it. I test it and try it out to see if it is actually useful and practical. The short answer to this is “Yes!”. It works, and it is so much fun with actual results.

Life has a way of feeling like a race with untied shoes. Between the school runs, the “Call of Duty” soundtracks in the living room, and the mystery oil stains on our favorite shirts, we are all just trying to find a bit of rhythm in the chaos.

I’ve been tucked away in my quiet corner, swaying to the silence and working on tools to help us all breathe a little easier. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that we’re not alone, and we’re doing okay.

Here is a peek at what I’m creating for you (and for me) with so much love and care:

• The Cleaning Planner: To help turn the “bomb-exploded” toy room back into a sanctuary without losing your mind.
• The Guide for Busy Moms: A calm adult thinking out loud, offering life experience and soft honesty for the days that feel too tight.
• The Busy Mom Dinner Planner: No more lost notes on scrap paper; just a simple way to feed the “I’m hungry” tribe.
• Bible Reflections with Coloring Pictures: A place to pause, reflect, and color outside the lines while you connect with something deeper.

There is so much more on the way, so many ideas floating on my piece of paper, and advice and ideas shared by others. I’m finding my feet and creating my own schedule, one heartbeat at a time.

Why the Unicorn?

People often ask, “Why Doodle Horse?”. It doesn’t have anything to do with grooming horses or drawing them, though I know the name suggests it. I simply wanted a creative, catchy name that sticks. Plus, there’s a secret in the back of my mind: I love unicorns.

I am ready to conquer the world, perhaps not on a traditional mount, but on the back of my unicorn—riding straight into the sunset, or maybe just toward the mountains.

Maybe that’s the point. Life is a race, but you might as well ride something magical while you’re in it.
