I’m out of them for now, but I’m hoping there are still a few of you who just haven’t e-mailed me yet (denise@denisehopkinsfineart.com). I think day 12 contributor, Butch, sensed the desperation […]

Today, instead of watching my beloved Saints play the Broncos, I took Ezra to the Aquarium where they were having a mermaid (his current obsession) exhibit. There is an older version of me that […]

Day 12. Not Even Medium Brave

The inspiration […]

I’m taking one because I woke up this morning with a heavy heart. On my best days, when my four-year-old son gets emotional, frazzled, or downright defiant, I tell him to take a break. To have a moment […]

“Rebecca” 4×4, oil on canvas, $50.00 [creativ_button url=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/rebecca/532959″ icon=”” label=”Buy Now” colour=”blue” colour_custom=”” size=”medium” edge=”straight” target=”_self”]   No surprises here, but I read a lot of parenting books, a lot of which can be summarized by this: you aren’t perfect. How you handle your struggles and shortcomings can teach your kids as much as your flashes […]
