☆ Sometimes Raising Girls is Like Managing a Roller Derby Team [Friday Art]


Sometimes raising three girls is like managing a Roller Derby Team. 

The jostling + pushing to be first to the treat.

The camaraderie + love when one of the team is down.

The cheering + jeering of each other. 

Their instinctive need to rush the front door as a unit, (with backpacks + lunch boxes at the ready!_ rather than one at a time like orderly people! Really!?!

I started this weeks painting with these thoughts in mind, and in the end, although they are not fierce roller derby chicks (+ how awesome are they!), there is a sense of camaraderie + belonging in the painting that I have enjoyed.


My Bean keeps on asking for roller skates, but I am not sure if I am ready for the skinned knees + face plants that come with that activity.

The Sisters
Available to purchase here.
But I know that she would love it, as I did + that parenting is about letting your kids go + explore + being there to pick up the pieces.

So I would love to know - Should santa bring Bean a pair of skates this year? Do I also invest in a huge wad of bubble wrap? Or get over myself (+ yes you can totally tell me that!).

Have a great weekend - we are off for a family vacay weekend which, now that I am packed (Three children to pack? so much easier when it was just me!) I am totally excited for!
