Hi there!My name is Heather and about 9 months ago I became a mother. My daughter has now been on the outside just as long as she was on the inside. Naturally, it's put me in a reflective mood. I've been thinking about my induction into the club of motherhood and what it's meant to me as an individual. How has it changed me? How have I maintained my sense of self?
I've stopped sleeping soundly, showering on a regular basis and having any personal time whatsoever......I can't even use the washroom in private. But one thing hasn't changed. It may have even become stronger, more ingrained into my mind. My sense of creativity.
Having a baby has put a whole new spin on my world. I can't see things around me in the same light as I once did. Now, when I sit down to write or create anything, my baby is on my mind. I'm sure it's the same for many other women, creative women. This blog will be centered around these artists. Who they are, how they work considering family life and what being a creative soul means to them. I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you for stopping by Heather...isn't having a baby life altering??? I have two grown children but I remember the days when I was always running, eating on the run, and wiping runny noses...and...it takes years before you get to use the bathroom by yourself again!!! I would not change any of it...I'm sure you've heard it before but...enjoy every age, stage that your daughter goes through...before your know it she will be an adult and you will wonder how that happened so fast... :o) Cheers Heather (my name is Heather also!)
PS...great blog :o)
