Straight from the heart—and straight from the Little Plop Book
Reaching for something meaningful takes a lot out of you.
Maybe you’re starting a business, raising kids, earning a degree, healing from loss, or just trying to hold it all together while life keeps piling on. Whatever the goal, there often comes a moment when the spark fades… and the to-do list feels impossibly heavy.
You lose momentum.
You stop feeling inspired.
You just want to curl up with a good book, ignore the world for a bit, and pretend your email inbox doesn’t exist.
We’ve been there.
Truthfully? Even we forget this sometimes.
Recently, I (the creator of Ploppals) hit a wall. After months of building, designing, shipping, and dreaming—I found myself completely out of steam. It was hard to admit. But once I gave myself permission to pause, everything softened. That’s when I remembered: this is exactly the kind of moment Ploppals were made for.
Because mess is part of life. And rest is part of progress.
At Ploppals, we believe in showing up with humor, love, and acceptance—especially when you feel stuck or overwhelmed. Taking a break doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. It means you’re listening to your body and your heart. It means you’re making space for something new to grow.
As Little Plop says in our book:
“When you’re pooped out, it’s okay to rest. Because when you’re rested, you feel your best.”
So if today’s not a go-go-go day…
If you need a nap, a walk, a cry, or a fantasy novel escape…
It’s okay.
Rest is not the opposite of achievement. It’s what makes it possible.
With love (and maybe a nap),
Heather
Founder, Ploppals
