Mama Mothy

A small, quiet tip jar

Hi, I’m the one-woman studio behind Mama Mothy: a neurodivergent, stay-at-home mom in a creaky 1914 Victorian who writes books, builds little apps, and chases big ideas between school pick-up and bedtime. I make things for curious brains—communication tools, kids’ stories, essays, researchy rabbit holes, and the kind of oddly specific game guides you only look for at 2 a.m.

On a matte white tabletop lie an open hardcover book filled with vibrant illustrations, a large tablet with a playful learning app interface, a slim laptop with an abstract project board on screen, and neatly printed resource cards arranged like a mind map. Colored sticky notes, smooth wooden shapes, and a ceramic mug of pencils add tactile detail. Soft, diffused overcast daylight from a nearby window eliminates harsh shadows, creating a calm, focused atmosphere. The photographic composition is carefully balanced, with objects radiating outward from the center, suggesting curiosity, communication, and interconnected learning experiences.

Tip jar, not a contract

If you’ve ever read a post, used a tool, or bookmarked a very specific guide and thought, “oh, that helped,” this page is just a small way to say so. Tips help cover the unglamorous bits—hosting, software, and buying back little pockets of time to keep making books, apps, essays, and oddball resources.

Where Your Support Goes

Right now, your tips are helping transform the unfinished attic of our 1914 Victorian into a creative studio—the space where all the writing, app-building, and idea-chasing actually happens. It’s not glamorous work: insulation, drywall, shelves, electrical rewiring, and the quiet infrastructure that makes it possible to write and create after the kids are asleep. But it’s the foundation for everything you see here.

Tips also help keep the digital side running—hosting, software tools, and the ongoing maintenance that keeps old guides alive and new projects moving forward. Your support transforms a corner of an old house into a studio where curiosity, learning, and creativity can flourish.
