‘I used to absolutely despise having to do any sort of art when I was in school. I’ve grown up and realized that I don’t despise art, I just don’t want anybody to watch me while I’m trying to create something. Now that I’m in my late 20’s, I’ve got an art room in the house we bought that is absolutely filled with art supplies, I learned how to airbrush, I decorate cakes in my spare time, and I DIY’d almost my whole wedding. Whenever I’m having a stressful time, art is the answer.’

‘Building LEGO sets! I was never really into LEGO as a kid but in the past few years, I’ve really found it as a relaxing outlet. I put on some calming music (usually something like “Shire Ambience”) and get to work. My teenagers love it for me and have said to each other, “Dude, don’t bug Mom! It’s her LEGO time.” :-)’
