Our lives as parents

It’s May! Can you believe it? I can’t! I’ve been home since the middle of January and parenting from home…a whole new world!

I thought I would be a lot more scheduled and disciplined but I think I expected too much.

The fickle hand of fame shows the displeasure of one son to his crazy Mama Paparazzi.

9 Lessons I have Learned as a Stay-at-Home Mom.

Taking pictures of Aden every day has been a challenge, but a good one. Not necessarily one that I succeed at every day, but there’s still hope! I recently found out about this guy, Noah Scalin, who started making something every day and inspired a lot of people to do the same. His site, MakeSomething365.com, has made me realize that I’m not alone in trying to create art and that there are lots of really great projects being made every day.

Reading about some of the artist’s work and how it impacted their lives to concentrate on everyday reminded me of a give something away every day project I started last year. I failed at that miserably. Does giving an art project away every day count? What could be more generous? Or is it even generous? Is it self-serving and selfish?

It’s definitely a lot more fun than being pious!

I didn’t post yesterday, but I did take the picture of my budding artist!
