You crack me up, Sara! Thinking of all the "creativity" we had here at Christmas while the grandchildren were down. Five Minutes' Peace by Jill Murphy sounds like the perfect book to steer you away from the Sylvia Plath.

That week 8 turn though 😂😂😂 PERFORMANCE ART!!!!! Hahahahahah. I am here for that. I feel like I need to make performance art on the REGULAR. 😅😂 I need to find a supportive enough pillow though because these apartment walls are thinner then a g-string 😭

Thinner than a G-string 😂 And, YES! You need a high shock and sound-absorbent pillow that can really cop a full parental meltdown.

I hear you , although when the kids wee little I did have some success in taking them to an art gallery they sat on little stools provided by the gallery and did little sketches of the masterpieces. That day I think aliens came down and experimented on my kids 😆😆

🤣🤣 This is a truly rare occurrence! The medical establishment should be studying your children to see exactly how this happened. 😆

I feel seen!! I have taken up an evening floristry course as at least it means I can skip one bedtime and also actually make something without anyone trying to ‘help’. Highly recommend x

I LOVE THIS, Alex!! Night classes are the perfect artist date. Alone time and skip bed time routine once a week. Excellent hack 👏 💐

I keep seeing people talk about the artists way! Is this a thing at the moment? (My children would also lick things at an art gallery, apparently culture is tasty)

Artwork is delicious! It’s been around forever but lots of people like to start the year with it to get into good creative habits. The comedy started in my brain when I envisioned myself taking hours alone each week for these really profound creative adventures 🤣
