I thought all mommies were supposed to be nice to other mommies...

I had this whole ranting story ready to go,  and have thought better of it.  Suffice to say I encountered a not-so-nice woman in the parking lot of Babies R Us yesterday and she was very rude.  I am doing my best to not let it get to me and instead of dwelling on the bad experience I'm going to turn to more positive energy.

And with that, I'm going to try to take a nap while the baby is sleeping.  There's tons of positive energy in napping!

Artist and Mother - Thank You, Keri Smith

I had some time this morning to wander the internet like I used to in my life "before baby."  He's napping (woohoo!), though I can't be sure exactly how long I have.  

In my wanderings this morning, I came across this post on Keri Smith's blog that has beautifully articulated so much of what I have been feeling in the past few months.  Please take the time to read it - I'm sure it reflects the feelings of so many mothers in general, and especially those who are artists, aspire to be artists, or (like me) are trying to bring art and creativity back into their lives.
