In this episode Sarah and Lessie share some parenting wins when it comes to sleep and holding the balance of needs for the neurospicy kids before diving into discussions about their crafts. Lessie attended the KidLitVic Illustrators workshop and shares her biggest take-away from the wisdom of Donna Rawlings and Maryann Ballantyne. Sarah continues to put in the work on her fourth draft, looking forward to mentorship from Lisa Island and Ava January. In among the babble of kitchen sinks and gallery walls, they both also share about the need to reframe how creative work is viewed in the context of being the main stay-at-home parent.
