Being at home during the never-ending pandemic certainly posed its mom challenges.

"Mom, we are boooooorrrreeeedddddd..." It felt like it was a broken record, played in unison.

Yep. As if I was not exhausted of ideas and just overall zest with two kids at home and homeschool.

"Eventually, this will get better...right?" This was a daily thought in my head. This day, we got a little creative.

Enter the family art challenge. The task? An hour to draw anything. Mom never got to add color, hence why she was not the overall winner. (*giggle*)

We had three awards that day. Don't ask me to remember all the details but, everyone won. Yay! We had several art challenges over the next century...eh, year...or two.

"Mom, we are boooooorrrreeeedddddd..." It felt like it was a broken record, played in unison.

PLEASE FOLLOW ME as I embark on a quest to enjoy, learn from, and raise my little bamBEANos, in the best way this Mama Chickpea can. Art is my "balance" to life and I enjoy all the DIY therapy I can handle!
