Welcome, fellow dreamers and creatives! I am Holly Baldridge, a mother, writer, and dreamer with an insatiable thirst for life and its myriad experiences.

My journey as a blogger began in 2011, with Musings of a Gypsy serving as a canvas where I could paint the ebbs and flows of my life with my words. From heartfelt poetry and deep introspections to narratives of motherhood and entrepreneurship, my blog serves as a place to share my experiences and thoughts as I navigate life’s diverse landscapes. God gave me this life, this beginning to eternity. We are his special creation. He gives us desires and passions, gifts and abilities for a reason. Use them! Explore life! Love deeply, live wildly!

As a mother of three beautiful children, every day, we explore new adventures in learning, loving, and growing. These young souls inspire my writings and fill my days with joy and, yes, a fair share of chaos! From homeschooling and crafts to our adventures in backyard homesteading and everything in between, I invite you to join us on our journey.

My educational path led me to UNT, where I pursued and achieved a bachelor’s degree in Learning Technology, juggling the demands of motherhood and academia. Today, I wear many hats – founder and leader of a social media marketing, PR, and copywriting agency, Social Copy Shop, and creative force behind Smoke & Mirrors Artistry, where I get the honor and privilege to be part of a bride’s special day, indulge in special effects Halloween makeup, and help women feel beautiful in their skin.

Musings of a Gypsy is more than a lifestyle blog; it’s a place of creative expression. My mission is to connect with other dynamic, passionate women, share wisdom, and experiences, and offer a helping hand to those navigating the seas of life. It’s a space for us to grow together, to embrace the hustle and the beauty that lies within the chaos.

In this realm, my posts reflect the diverse hues of my life: the creative process, entrepreneurship, parenting, and personal growth, to name a few. I’m just one little person on this big planet, and this is my one little life, one sojourner on the earth, making it through day by day. But all the little things add up, and I am so thankful to be on this journey with you.

Remember, your path is uniquely your own. Embrace it, love it, live it.

Sincerely yours,
