How do you shake a creative slump?
It’s no secret that I have a love affair with Instagram and Pinterest.
Love is grand, but this infatuation can occasionally be problematic creatively.

I’m a teacher with a penchant for picture books and art projects. I want to raise kind and creative kids. Despite being committed to alla these things, I still often feel like all the ideas have left the building when I’m looking for arty inspiration. On many an occasion, I’ve been supremely exasperated by an art or craft project gone pear-shaped. I’m often intrigued by new art processes but am too hesitant to try them or just don’t have the right supplies. Often I get to the end of the day with such brain drain that bedtime stories are a drag, not a joy.
Despite living in a home surrounded by books and art supplies, I’m always on the lookout for ways to connect with my kids through reading and creating. Introducing KidArtLit.
