Can it be done?

I'm tired of wondering if IT can be done:

"Can I be a good mom and a good artist? Can I give my children the time, attention, and love they need and deserve, while giving my art the time, attention and room it needs to grow and flourish?"

This blog will be devoted to how I answer that question.

The experiment will start and end with a lot of prayer. It will document my slip-ups and successes, my good days and bad ones. I'll post work that I've completed, and little tips that have helped me complete it. Things like recipes, household management tips, parenting techniques that have worked for me (no guarantee that they'll work for *your* kids too, but we all grow by sharing) and spiritual truths I've found will all be fair game. And I'll welcome any suggestions you have on making the process easier.

I love my kids. I love creating. I don't think the two loves should be mutually exclusive.
