Many changes are coming...
Today was different. After spending most of my days inside home alone with my daughter and my baby in this cold winter, desperately waiting for my husband to arrive home so I could get some help and unwind a little I decided to get out of the house and get some errands done and get some fresh air. I went to the bank and the grocery store, with my 2 kids. For the ones who are used to this or have more than one kid it may seem like nothing, but for me it was a great deal. It was my very first time. And I did it! It was awesome! I felt empowered and independent!
I still remember when I didn't had any kids and I saw women with children and thought how can they do it? How am I going to do it!? And look at my, with no only one but TWO! I've learned to multitask (I'm on the web while feeding my little one and playing with my older one) and also I've learned to survive with little food and sleep. I know this won't be permanent (anything is), so I'll enjoy it instead of suffer it. The long hours with my baby in my chest peacefully sleeping while my daughter plays next to me are invaluable and will be treasure forever but I also need my me time. I thought this was egotistical at first but now I realize that in order to be there for them I need to be there for me too.
I managed to create some original pieces and I'm thinking more about what I'm doing with the little time that I have left. I'm thinking this year I'll focus more on working efficiently instead of working a lot. And I'm planning also to make some changes around here, you'll start noticing them soon and I'd love to hear what you think about them, starting with the blog layout. Do you hate it or love it? Please share your thoughts with me.
Have a great weekend!

I love your blog and follow you for some time. Your work is wonderful!
You were a very talented person ... I am a teacher and have a baby and I know how hard it is to share the child care and work! Sorry the text, but as I do not speak English ...
I will always follow the news in your work and your life.
kisses from BRasil!
I love the new blog layout and can't wait to see the changes in your creations. I absolutely adore your art, especially your colorful Fridas.
Congratulations on balancing mamahood and art!
Hugs,
Bettina
J'adore cette nouvelle présentation !
Ton blog et tes créations sont merveilleux !
I hope that you keep the simplicity and innocence of your art. That is what I've always liked about your art . . . and I know it is not easy to paint the style you do as many people have tried including me.
Best wishes to you and yours for continued success in everything you do!
Much peace and love,

I have 3 children who are 4,5 and almost 7. When the last one was born I had 3 under 3. So I can definitely relate to what you are saying. The best advice I ever received was 'do what works for you'. I think BALANCE is the key. If you don't want to be run down you need to look after yourself and make sure you get your 'ME' time.
I honestly believe that a happier Mum leads to a happier household.
Now I'm off to check out your facebook page and Etsy site.
