Welcome friends! Art and children are two things that never fail to open my eyes to magic. My life as a full-time nanny & now, a new mother, has given me a front-row seat to curiosity every single day. Days filled with singing, dancing, games, crafts, and all sorts of silliness are what I live for. My goal here is to help others remember the joys of childhood and how liberating it can be to see the world through a child’s eyes.
