Becoming a new mom has been life-changing. Having a little kid has been hard, tiring, gratifying, beautiful, challenging, scary, and a thousand other everyday problems that only a parent would ever understand.
It is these life-changing experiences that have inspired me to immortalize my everyday life as a stay at home mom in cartoon drawings. Whether it's the mundane tasks like doing laundry or the exciting moments of James', my baby boy's, first steps, I want to put it down on paper so that I can better cherish these fleeting moments that are often overlooked.
Being a stay at home mom can be incredibly lonely. I like to think that by drawing life's simple moments, I can connect with other mothers and help them feel less alone in raising kids. By doing these relatable comics, I feel less alone, too. It's a win-win situation and I have been able to connect with many lovely parents and fellow parent-illustrators through my cute drawings.

James Is My Constant Reminder To Stay Present. I Have A Bad Habit Of Getting Caught Up On My Phone, Wasting My Time Instead Of Doing Something Fulfilling. When I'm In My Haze, He Comes Up To Me With A Toy, Eagerly Calling Me To Play With Him

I Can't Be The Only "Bad" Parent That Doesn't Watch Age Appropriate Things With Their Kid. I Mean He's Only 18mo, He Can't Possibly Understand What That Dragon's Doing, Right!?

James Has Some Pretty Good Dance Moves. Whenever Music Comes On, He Gets To Boogie'ing And We Follow Suit. Our Favourite Move Is The Elbow Jab
#16
Ever Have One Of Those Days That Just Suck For No Particular Reason? I Like To Draw The Cute And Sweet Moments Of Motherhood, But It Is Definitely Not Always Like That. Some Days Are Really Hard And You Find Yourself Breaking Down On The Living Room Floor After You Finally Get Baby To Go Down To Sleep

We Bought James His First Pair Of Underwear With Cute Little Trucks On It. But The Sizing Is Way Off So They Just End Up Sliding Off His Tiny Bum

I Wanted To Draw A Picture Of James With His Papa, But Them Snuggling And Being Cute Didn't Exactly Feel Right. This Is More What They Get Up To

I Finally Cut James' Very Unruly Hair, And Somehow Managed To Keep His Ears Intact. Giving Him A Forbidden Item Definitely Helped Keep His Attention Elsewhere (In This Case The Remote Control)

James Refuses To Sleep Anywhere But His Crib. But When He Was Little(R), I Would Take Him Into Our Bed In The Morning, Nurse, And We Would Sleep Until 10am Sometimes Even 11am
#36
Electronic Toys Are Either A Life Saver Or The Bane Of A Parent's Existence. They Are Great At Occupying Kids So That You Can (Finally) Get Some Stuff Done, But The Incessant Noise Creeps Deep Into Your Ear Canal Where It Travels Through Your Body And Seeps Into Your Bones
#39
Sometimes When James Is Being Pathetic And Crying For No Good Reason, We Will Mock Him By Mimicking Tarzan Cries
#41
Only Just Recently James Learnt To Sit Up On His Knees And Reach For Things. Now He Is Starting To Prop One Leg Up, But It Sort Of Just Flops Around Without Much Purpose
#44
Sick! Feeling All Sorts Of Awful And It's All James' Fault. Now I'm Stuck Lying On The Couch Like A Dead Potato. James Was The First To Get Sick In Our House, But Still Seems To Have Lots Of Energy For Crawling On Me Like A Monkey
