Being a mom of three girls who are elementary age through high school during quarantine comes with all sorts of challenges, but amazing opportunities as well. Being a photographer and an artist, I see it as an awesome time for all of us to connect creatively. Each girl has a different talent and interest when it comes to art, but we also try to find ways to bring them all together as well to work on one project.

Spring is here and sunny days are now becoming plentiful! I gave the girls painter’s tape and large pieces of chalk. They used the tape to create a mosaic in our driveway and then in our cul de sac. It not only got them outside for a project they got to do together, but it also created something beautiful for all to see!
