“I Want Superpower to Live Without Sleep.” An Artist Draws Warm Illustrations That Could Find a Place in Any Mom’s Heart

Sometimes mothers feel so overwhelmed, they start to believe they can’t be anything else but a “mom.” But Katya, an artist from Russia, decided to put an end to this notion. She draws illustrations of her everyday life as a mother, revealing its joys and struggles, proving that you can be a dedicated mom and artist at the same time.

Bright Side encourages you to take a look at her work, exhale, and say, “Awww.”

2. “She is delighted with bubble baths.”
