In this photo is a drawing our 5 year old made this morning in her PJs while I sat opposite her and drew a self portrait using pencil (I found it quite confronting staring a photos of my face!) My drawing ended up looking a bit chaotic which is pretty much how I have been feeling over this stay home period. Hope you are all going okay in your bubbles. Creating can be a wonderful stress release. We would love to see what you are creating while you are at home.
