I am so pleased that I decided to participate in Art Everyday Month this year. I’m enjoying it, and since I decided to focus only on photography, I don’t feel any stress about coming up with something. I can carry out my motherly duties and still make stuff. That feels good. 🙂

yay! i’m glad you’re having fun with it and that it’s giving you joy and not an added stress. i’m really enjoying what you’re doing with your photos!
That’s what it’s all about! Creativity should never be a chore…
I’m also glad you are fitting your art in between Claire; you both need that! And that’s great news that your MIL is coming for a long period. It will make a huge difference for you and probably for Claire, too.
I’m just back from my Greece/Turkey trip, head filled with memories, and arthritis flaring. But, when I was raising babies and children, even though we did camp all the time, I wondered if I would ever have a full night’s sleep or any exotic travel ever again.
This period will be over before you know it; I promise.
