        Hi Melody!

        When your family was young and your children were younger how were you able to sculpt, paint, run a business and still be a mum? I’ve some friends that think that when children are young, mums should just be mums until the children are older – I disagree; I think it’s important to stay learning and growing as a mum and wife, else how will you stay “interesting” to your family (does that make sense?) How were you able to balance that or did you? I think you did but would like to know how you did it and would you do anything differently looking back on it all? Thankies!

          twindragonsmum 😀 I worked at home, or at a studio we had right across the street from our house, and I had a nanny! My Mom helped too. It was still hard to get anything done. I also had Dhey, my assistant, who did allot of the most time consuming sculpting stuff for me, like adding texture, detailing and sanding.

            So, Melody is proof, that it really does take a village 😉

              I wanted to get everyone around the house tee shirts that said “staff”.

                😆 😆 😆

                when the boys were toddlers we had shirts for them that made lots of people giggle… Sean’s said “search” and Ethan’s said “destroy”

                  XD XD XD Ethan STILL has to take everything apart… 😮 I don’t think he’ll ever outgrow that 🙄 😆

                  That’s a good thing. Boys who take things apart often know how to put things back together and can be very useful.

                    Oh how I wish that were true in Ethan’s case… I usually wind up trying to put stuff back together… His biggest ‘take down’ was when he shorted out the phones in the house by inserting a nail into one of the uncovered phone jacks… 😮 He was 2 at the time

                    Yikes! At least it was a phone jack, and not an outlet! 😮 And look at it this way–YOU get good at putting things back to together, which is *also* handy. 😀
