In the journey of motherhood, many women have spent countless hours coloring alongside their children. If you’ve ever had the privilege of using a crayon that still has its wrapper intact, you’ve likely noticed that children’s crayons come with whimsical names that are quite fitting. Think along the lines of Cherry Red, Ocean Blue, or Giggle Green.
Conversely, adult color names tend to be rather vague and sometimes pretentious. A colleague of mine mentioned she painted her living room “Savory Mushroom,” and honestly, I couldn’t quite picture what hue that might be. Is it a muted brownish-pink-gray? It certainly sounds intriguing.
This leads us to the idea of treating ourselves to a fresh box of crayons tailored just for moms. Imagine a set that isn’t marred by little hands, broken into bits that barely resemble their original form. We can take this chance to assign names to these crayons that resonate with our unique experiences and emotions.
For example, we could have colors like “Midnight Meltdown,” which captures those late-night parenting struggles, or “Naptime Bliss,” representing those rare, peaceful moments when the kids are finally asleep.
As we embrace this creative outlet, it’s important to remember that nurturing our own interests and creativity can be just as vital as caring for our families. Doing something as simple as coloring can provide a moment of joy and relaxation amidst the chaos of parenting.
