About the book:

Life Creative: Inspiration for Today's Renaissance Mom (Kregel, September 2016)

What was God thinking when He created you creative and then gave you children?

Creative moms often feel as though they must lay their passions down. But God had something special in mind for the creative woman during this intense season of mothering.

In this Pinterest age of handcrafted children's parties, Instagram photos of beautifully decorated homes, and blogs filled with poetry and prose, it is clear that we are in the midst of a brand new artistic renaissance. Not one born in Italian cathedrals or Harlem jazz clubs, but rather in kitchens, nurseries, and living rooms around the world. Mothers, working in the cracks and crevices of each hectic day, are adorning the world with their gifts, and they're showing all of us the beauty of this Life Creative.

In this book, you'll learn:
-Why the world needs your art
-How this Life Creative begins at home
-When art can turn a profit
-Your part in this modern day Renaissance
Life Creative paints the stories of moms, just like you, who are fitting their inspired lives into the everyday, ordinary places of motherhood. Women like home decorator Melissa Michaels and jewelry designer Lisa Leonard, author Angie Smith, recording artist Ellie Holcomb, and many more.

My Review:
"Life Creative: inspiration for today's renaissance mom" is a great, inspiring book for each and every mother to read.  Wendy and Kelli share their hearts and their passions in this book and I felt as if they were talking directly to me.  I had never really thought of myself as a artistic person, but I am creative at times with certain things such as baking, creating holiday projects with my kids.  However, at times I feel like I want to do more, but can't because of time limits and responsibilities.  I love how this book helped me to see that I am actually being more creative in my life than I thought.  Wendy and Kelli share how mothers can share their passion, share their creativity with their children and families and do all this while turning a house into a home.  This is such a great reminder that even though at certain stages of motherhood it feels as if we are confined at home, but this does not mean that our creativity and passion have to be confined as well.
