  • Unique Ways to Create Art With Your Kids

    These are 5 ideas to get your mind working on a creative goal that works for you and your family. Don’t stay in the box of kids' art going on the fridge and only coming from their crinkled backpack after school. Make art on purpose. Let your kids know that art is more than 30 minutes at school twice a week. Read books on artists that your children might take interest in. Again, the library is the best resource for really everything in life. I checked out some books on famous women artists that my daughter thought were SUPER neat. My nephew loves drawing characters and making comic strips. There are books for that too. Educate them on what is out there, the possibilities in art are limitless. Being a Disney animator is a job that they could have one day. 

    Let me know if you try any of these ideas, and I’d love to see artwork that you create.

    Art is fun. Life is fun. You do you and definitely have your alone time making your amazing art. But maybe let’s give our children their specific time, too. 

    Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”

  • New Intro

    Hey, my name is Kelli Heil and I’m here to show you that it’s totally possible to do what you love while raising the ones you love. 

    It took me far too long to figure out how to balance my new role of mom while overcoming mom guilt and still living my best creative life.

     Motherhood does not mean we have to throw who we used to be aside and stop making art or writing books. That’s why I created this podcast. I want to inspire you to live intentionally. Whether you’re a mom who gets up at 5 am, or a night owl who has another cup of coffee at midnight. We can do this, And I’m spotlighting women who are doing this. 

    Grab a coffee. Grab a notebook. Get ready to change your life. 

    This is the Moms Who Create Podcast.
