A couple of months ago, I started writing and illustrating a column called "Downtown for Kids!" and you are my muse, Maeve! Your love of activity, downtown strolls, the outdoors and sense of adventure inspired this project. I decided to begin writing the column to build a portfolio of freelance work as I'm hoping to start freelance writing more in the new year. And it's really taken off! So far I've written several columns. The goal is to create simple, fun itineraries that foster bonding time between caregivers and children and a sense of community pride.
I hope one day you can read these columns on your own and know that they were created with you! And maybe remember some of the adventures we shared.
Below are a few snaps I took while we created our downtown Durham Central Park itinerary. So fun!
I love you, Maeve, and thank you for being the best muse a mama could ask for! xo
