As mothers, we’ve likely spent countless hours coloring with our little ones—so many that it feels like we’ve lived through 37 lifetimes of crayon-filled afternoons. If you’ve ever had the privilege of using a crayon that still has its wrapper intact, you’ve probably noticed that children’s crayons come with adorably descriptive names: Brick Red, Spring Green, and Tickle Me Pink, to name a few.
In stark contrast, adults tend to gravitate toward whimsical and often ambiguous color names that sound sophisticated but leave us scratching our heads. A friend recently told me she painted her living room “Sautéed Mushroom,” and honestly, I still can’t picture what that shade looks like. Is it a brownish-pinkish-gray? Sounds lovely, right?
It’s high time we treat ourselves to a fresh box of crayons, moms—a box designed exclusively for us. Not only will we finally get to color with crayons that haven’t been reduced to mere fingernail-sized bits, but we also have the chance to assign them practical names that resonate with our experiences. Imagine hues like “Coffee Before Bedtime” or “Mom’s Secret Stash” gracing your artistic adventures.
