My husband, baby and I moved back to Colorado after living in Shanghai for 3 years. We have been on a journey of repatriating, living on a single income and being parents of now two little ones.
Check out our time in Shanghai here; http://strattontoshanghai.blogspot.com/
Artistically, I am getting ready to get into a creative groove… When I create my own stuff for no purpose other than to just exist it is both incredibly freeing and terrifying. There is a voice in my head that tells me my time is better spent elsewhere, like on laundry 😝I love making things. Truly. I have to work on giving myself permission to make something that no one has asked for.

Winter is no joke. January and February have always been hard on my mental health so I’ve have been really intentional about self care this season. But These two wild ones have been so…. extra lately…feeling all of the big feelings and learning things the hard way. Being a mom is HAAAARD no matter how much we love their little faces. Let’s blame it all on winter.

This is one of the pieces I had the honor of creating for a repeat client for Christmas. 👩🏻🎨 This is based on a photograph of her grandmother when she was 16. What a cool way to honor her legacy! . . . . . #coloradoartist #artofinstagram #arty #creativelife #miraclemorning #profitfirst #smallbusiness #artistofinstagram #5280 #brihillcreative #howdarling #beautifulthings #artwithmeaning #fromscratch #altsummit #bossbabe #lovewhatyoudo #youdoyou #currentdesignsituation #abeautifulmess #womensupportingwomen #liveboldly #livewide #surroundyourselfwithbeauty #currateyourlife #lovethislife #supportwomenbusinessowners #denverbusiness #rurallife

I’m baaaaaack! 💃🏻 I’ve been taking a break from social media for some self care and recovery from Christmas commission season. 😅 You guys, it was so so successful and I am beyond thankful to my clients who trusted me with such important gifts. 👩🏻🎨 In celebration, You are treated to this image as evidence that I can still handle a high kick. (In a seated position but still…) Also, my MIL got me these #cheetaprint Cole Haan booties so my Mother in law is cooler than yours. 😘 . . . . #coloradoartist #artofinstagram #arty #creativelife #miraclemorning #profitfirst #smallbusiness #artistofinstagram #5280 #brihillcreative #howdarling #beautifulthings #artwithmeaning #fromscratch #altsummit #bossbabe #lovewhatyoudo #youdoyou #currentdesignsituation #abeautifulmess #womensupportingwomen #liveboldly #livewide #surroundyourselfwithbeauty #currateyourlife #lovethislife #supportwomenbusinessowners

Did you know that this is my 12th year of teaching? I was an elementary Ed major, then my first job was teaching sped k-12 😳 which was trial by fire, let me tell you. But I did that for 7 years, which is still very dear to my heart. But the last 5 years I have taught art, which I love love love. I love my students and the purpose it brings to my life. No matter where this arting thing takes me, I want to always be teaching. It is my way of using my life to love hard. What’s your way?

Something I learned when traveling and living abroad is to have 1,000 zipper pouches for all the things. -1 pouch for chargers -1 pouch for things I will need in the plane ✈️ -1 pouch for journal pens 🖊 -1 pouch for the GOOD pens And don’t even get me started on the pouches I need if my kids are with me…😳 the only rule I have about the pouch is… it👏must👏be👏cute👏. No ziplocks for me and my earplugs… snag one or a dozen on my site 😘😘😘
