Moms are so busy taking care of everyone else that they often forget to take care of themselves. This can lead to feelings of stress and anxiety, which is a mental health condition called "Bored-At-Home Syndrome." In this blog post, we will discuss how moms can fight Bored-At-Home Syndrome by getting creative!

One way to fight boredom is by taking a break with a new, creative hobby. 

One of my favorite ways to get creative is Diamond Art! It is a popular option for moms today, as seen on the DIY Network's show "Project Runway" and in recent articles from The Huffington Post and Buzzfeed. Diamond art allows moms to take time for themselves and turn any moment into something special by making artwork beautiful for the home. 

Thank you, Diamond Art Club, for providing us this amazing LADYBUG painting for us to try out and help with my bored-at-home feelings!

 Creating diamond art painting is a straightforward, three-step process:

• Dip the tip of the applicator tool into the strip of wax.
• Pick up each diamond by pressing the applicator to the diamond's rounded, faceted side.
• Apply each diamond to the adhesive canvas template, placing it based on the color-coded chart.

See easy peasy- even for the busy mom!  MOM...It can be easy to get stuck in a rut with day-to-day life… However, getting into your creative side can help stimulate your mind and even help you feel better emotionally!

 We have a few more ways you can beat the Bored-At-Home feeling!

 1.     Create a painting or drawing and frame it for your home. This can be done using traditional materials, like crayons on construction paper; watercolors in a paint box; finger paints with a blank canvas! Want to do something really unique? Get crafty with chalkboard art!

2.     Paint pouring is a wonderful painting technique that always comes out unique! It is done by mixing different paint colors with pouring medium in several small containers. Then, you slowly pour small amounts of each color over a canvas. You can choose to pour them over in any amount or order you want—the important thing is to have fun with it. Just be sure you have the canvas set on top of something smaller than it to act as a platform so the paint can drip down and off the edges. Laying out a tarp or some newspapers to catch the drips is a good idea as well.

3.    Coloring- This activity is definitely not just for kids! These days, there are lots of options for adult coloring books. You can even use your kids' coloring books. The most important thing is that it’s a coloring book with a theme that makes you happy. Coloring is a very freeing way to be creative because you can decide how you want every page to look!

4.     Photography-When this is done purely for your own enjoyment, you don’t need a fancy camera to do it! All you need is your phone or even a disposable camera, and you’re on your way! Take pictures of the things that make you happy, or even of things that you want. Maybe go on a nature walk and snap some pics of cool trees, pretty flowers, or animals you come across. Photography has no rules (just as long as you don’t take pictures of other people without consent.) If you’re using your phone, you can also play around with photo editing apps to make your pictures even more unique.
