It happened ! Everett turned 3! and he has so much energy and is constantly keeping me on my toes. He is my darter and my shy guy. My favorite is when he still gives me the full body hugs and pulls me in close when its bed time. He always asks for big hugs and makes sure that I am ok. He loves chocolate chip cookies and has a pretty big sweet tooth. Loves racing and launching his whole body while he runs. He is very ticklish and laughs at all of my jokes. Now I just have to get him to potty train. Happiest of Birthdays Ev. ...

We spent the afternoon hunting for Christmas trees!  We picked out our beauty and they were shaking the tree before it goes into the bailer and about 1000 (literally) lady bugs came out of it.

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.

A lot of firsts this year, especially with this guy! Everett starting a whole new chapter and missing his big sister terribly. He loves her so much, but this is such a good way for him to make his own friends and grow.  He is most excited to get lots of play ground time and playing with lots of new puzzles. The structure will be good for him and having to learn how to follow directions from a teacher. Can't wait to see what the year has for this guy....

This year has been my third year of creating an original piece of art every single day and sharing it! Wahoo! I originally started  Making Art Everyday because I gave birth to my second child Everett and wanted to find a way to keep creating art on a daily basis. Being a mother is one of the most toughest jobs on the planet. It is way more challenging and harder than I ever thought possible because of the amount love and time that each tiny human really needs. I knew that deep down that I needed this special piece of time dedicated to art, that is meant just for me. I needed it every single day, in order for me to be the best mommy, wife and Erika possible. On January 1, 2015, I embarked on Making Art Everyday  with a 6 week old baby and my two year old daughter Nora. Just typing this post, it sounds crazy that I just dove right in and didn't even look back. At the time, I was just thinking about surviving because of the lack of sleep and then chasing around a two year old....

This weekend, we celebrated Everett's third birthday. Two has been challenging, way more challenging then Nora ever was or at least for what I remember.. Everett loves to dart, escape, and run as fast as he possible can every where he goes. His favorite is still full body hugs, has the most ticklish of tummies and still will never turn down a chocolate chip cookie.  Happiest of Birthdays Ev. 10 minute portrait practice sketch. oil on paper The art (the best part) is part of my making art everyday project and this is day 311 T o read more about this awesome project click  here ...
