Renée Yemma {The Calm Mama} bio picture

  • Hi…I’m Renée!

    I’m a mama (writer, teacher, foodie, wife, lover of music, color and all things zen) who never, ever thought I was creative. Well, enter motherhood and I’m a completely changed woman. When I was pregnant with my daughter, my creative sparks began to explode. I reconnected with my love for photography in a way that helps create calm in my busy mama life AND I’m now a doodler (or shall I say, kid again!) who uses crayons, colored pencils and paints to disconnect from my hectic-to-do-list day that runs my thoughts on a daily basis. But most importantly, I’ve fallen in love with my camera and color, which helps me live a more calm and present mama life.

    Now, just because the title up above says I'm a calm mama, I want you to know that I'm not 100% calm and I don't have it all figured out. Before having my daughter, I wasn't doing anything that involved paints or a camera. Now, because of my new relationship with my creative side (it's taken me some to get to this place!) I'm happy to say that I'm SO much calmer than ever before. Do I have days that I'm pulling my hair out and wishing I was super calm in the moment....YES! But, now, I have the tools to help me NOT stay in that hectic place for too long. And, that's why I'm here...to share my journey to creating more calm in my busy mama life with you. Woohoo! Learn more about me.
