Pondering the mesmerizing wonders of finger painting, one of the best modes of artistic expression around.
Thinking back on my favorite things about being a mom, I relished the times when I could put all the daily house tasks aside to just be with my kids. It wasnt easy to get there but It was so worth the state of wonder I would climb into as I got present with my kids. There was a deep sense of joy that came from the state of marveling at whatever they were doing that my kids always seemed to linger in. Bliss.
My kids are older now, in college, but I still get to put the (studio) tasks aside and join the kids at the studio in their states of wonder as they tape, glue or finger paint their way through creativity.
