ALL I HAD TIME TO DRAW

This pink post-it-note drawing of my delicious cup of coffee is all I had time to draw before it was time to be a mother again. (I did get to drink my coffee while it was hot though.) How do you all manage your creativity with motherhood? Somedays are more successful than others. Somedays I am a better artist than parent while the next day I am a better mother than artist. It’s tricky trying to prioritise and manage it all but creativity does center me, and I find that in the long run, it helps me to be a kinder, more patient mother.
