What makes you feel alive?  

I have either been pregnant or breastfeeding for the past three and a half years and while this is such an incredible journey I have found myself needing to spice up my life as a mother.  When I ask myself ‘What makes you feel alive?’  My answer is always;  When I am creating something. So here I will document my pursuit of creativity while being a mother, sometimes in spite of, and other times because of.  

Why you will love this blog:

My blog is a funny, entertaining and occasionally motivating site for individuals who are striving to live creatively and follow their curiosities.  My blog discusses a wide range of pursuits to create and integrating that with daily life as a mom.  I provide reflection, humor, and motivation through making my life an experiment of self-expression.  

A bit about me:

I recently moved back to rural, Eastern Colorado after three years living  abroad in Shanghai.  Since then I have been attempting to repatriate, live on a single income, and be a decent parent.  I live with my (incredibly patient) husband (Partner), my (wild) two year old son (Sir) and my (sweet) eight month old baby girl (Madam).  

I am a teacher by trade and after teaching Special Education for seven years, I am now teaching art part time.  When I’m not having power struggles with my two year old, nursing my baby or attempting to inspire the next Picasso, I am working on my YA novel and the beginnings of the illustrations for my children’s book. I am crossing my fingers for casting to begin for Real Housewives of Eastern Colorado. Go ahead and give me life’s greatest validation and ‘like’ me on facebook.
