For months, I felt this pull—an urge to create.

Not for a deadline. Not for perfection. Just a quiet desire to draw again, to play with ideas, to reconnect with the artist in me.

I started jotting down little concepts in my sketchbook—simple, sweet moments I imagined turning into something fun. Something my toddler and I could enjoy together. Those early doodles and notes eventually made their way to my iPad, where I brought them to life digitally in Procreate.

And just like that, a few small ideas turned into a set of coloring pages.

I didn’t know if I’d share them with anyone. I just knew I wanted to create something that felt playful and light—and something we could enjoy together as part of our slow days at home.

One afternoon, I printed out the pages, set up the camera, and invited my son to color with me. We sat at our living room coffee table with a tray of crayons between us. I didn’t worry about capturing a perfect photo—I just wanted to hold onto the feeling. The connection. The quiet joy of creating something for him, and now with him.

The pictures I captured show just that: a real moment. Crayons scattered, cozy clothes on, sunshine filtering in—and us, side by side.

I’m not selling these just yet, but I wanted to share this with you: a glimpse into a creative urge turned into something tangible. Something ordinary and special all at once.

If you're a fellow mama craving a bit of creativity or looking for a simple, sweet way to connect with your toddler, these pages might be just the thing.
