I’ve been doodling about life as a mom for the past several years starting since I was pregnant. Since then, my doodles have ebbed and flowed based on my exhaustion levels and the stages of life that the kids were in.
I posted some parenting comics on Bored Panda before. You can check them out here and here.
I hope you find my newer doodles a little amusing and most of all, relatable.

#1 I Didn’t Sign Up To Carry Your Scooter For 15 Minutes, But Okay
As an only child, I found myself doodling and coloring more often than not. Life and school got in the way for a couple of decades and the drawing went down significantly during this time. Funny enough, now that life is busier than ever working full-time as a healthcare worker and having two kids, I find myself craving a creative outlet and having a moment to draw about my experiences.
#2 The Worst
#3 Cheetos In The Kitchen, Or Else You’ll Get Ambushed
The most difficult part of my creative process is the difficulty of generating ideas from being exhausted by work and family life. Often times being in the thick of mommy duties, the last thing I’m thinking about is ideas for what to draw and I’m probably missing a lot of drawing ideas like this, but that comes with momming territory.
#4 But First, Coffee, Every Day
#5 Sick More Than Not Sick, Right?
It is extremely hard to find time or energy to create, but when this happens I usually try to take a moment to rest and focus on my other duties. It would be a lot less fun if drawing became a forced chore so I try to take a step back and do something else, and let any ideas come to me organically.
#6 Oof, The Pain Continues
#7 Ouch Ouch Ouch
I like being able to capture my experiences as visuals because funny moments seem to materialize themselves as images in my head, rather than stories. My main overall message is that life as a parent can be exhausting and challenging, but there is some humor in the everyday and seemingly mundane moments, so try to capture and share them with people before they are gone.
