I generally don’t like to give parenting advice because honestly, who am I to know how someone else should deal with their kids? But here’s some advice that I think is useful for everybody: don’t draw from memory when you try to decide if a movie is suitable for your kids. Hudson Hawk was one of my favorites as a teenager and I really just remembered the fun and playful cat burglary and super weird rich people. Totally forgot about the cutting off heads and foul language. Oops. Have you ever made a movie mistake with kids? . . . #betje #motherhood #familylife #sliceoflife #humor #dailyart #journal #comicartist #doodling #cartoonist #storytelling #dailydairy #betjesketchbook #sketchdaily #dailylife #doodleaday #keepitreal #graphicnovel #movies #rating (at Los Angeles, California)

Note to self: an annoying kid is probably about to be sick. I keep forgetting that! Once I know the kid is sick, he’s all of he sudden not so annoying but my poor baby that needs hugs and cuddles. ❤️ . . #betje #motherhood #familylife #sliceoflife #humor #dailyart #journal #comicartist #doodling #cartoonist #storytelling #dailydairy #betjesketchbook #sketchdaily #dailylife #doodleaday #graphicnovel (at Los Angeles, California)

I love my kids, I just wish some of their favorite activities weren’t so boring 😞 This game in particular he loves to play even though he couldn’t care less about the rules. I do like to play jigsaw puzzles with the kids though! I have a lot more patience with that.

So here it is, roughly 200 daily sketches. As you can see I started in flimsy old half filled sketchbooks (less intimidating) and now use these books that I love. No spiral bounds, I don’t allow myself to rip out pages I don’t like. The whole purpose is to see the progress over time. You see the difference between the first and last sketches? (at Los Angeles, California)

I made this drawing this week to celebrate I've made 6 months worth of daily sketches. Only to find out today, that I started in July (7 months ago) on the 24th. Oh well, time flies when you're having fun! I'll post a video of all the sketches later today so that you can see the progress I've made. . . . #betjesketchbook #betje #motherhood #familylife #sliceoflife #humor #dailyart #journal #comicartist #doodling #cartoonist #storytelling #dailydairy #sketchdaily #dailylife #doodleaday #keepitreal #graphicnovel (at Los Angeles, California)

I've been paddling, paddling and paddling lately. Sometimes I forget to look where I'm going. Just sitting and thinking can be import work as well, I have to remind myself... . #betjesketchbook #dailysketches #selflove #mindfulness #sketchdaily #betje #artistsoninstagram #thisisme #slowdown #nowisenough #thepowerofnow (at Los Angeles, California)

Happy Valentine's Day!! I hope you feel loved and beautiful today. ———- Our youngest never had a lovey or pacifier. In stead, when he's tired, angry or sad he wants to put his hand on my belly.

Have you ever picked up the kids after a long day of work and fantasized about putting the car in reverse and drop them off for a couple more hours? Luckily, silly robot dances can always save you from despair! . . . #betje #motherhood #familylife #sliceoflife #humor #dailyart #journal #comicartist #doodling #cartoonist #storytelling #dailydairy #betjesketchbook #sketchdaily #dailylife #doodleaday #keepitreal #graphicnovel (at Culver City, California)
