MomShare

I love, love, love my bestpren Janice because she's always coming up with fun things mommy. She's doing freezines and directories, support groups and events, and all sorts of stuff that would make life easier for mommy.

At one of her events, Janice said she was looking for an art teacher to facilitate a workshop for the orphans of the House of Refuge Foundation. Her growing Mommy Mundo world recently came out with MomShare, a venue for moms who want to share and care. I volunteered immediately. OK, I am no art teacher but I love making things with my hands and have actually taught art classes for young kids many summers ago.

The thing that I learned from those workshops: Kids love to play with paint. And that's what we did that afternoon: gave those kids a bunch of brushes and sponges and rainbow colored paints and a canvas bag to decorate. They loved it! Truth to tell, I didn't really have to do anything much; I just went around, made sure they weren't getting stuff on their clothes, drew a flower here and there, and helped the little ones with their project.

It was a fun afternoon! Thanks, Janice!





Janice and her lovely kids, who are always with her in practically all her events.





We started off by asking the kids to make little storybooks.









And now, the paints!

Finished!





Pretty!
