When things get hectic, I can keep a level head.

I love bringing laughter into the world.
Whether it’s a silly joke or a funny observation.

I love expressing my creativity!
From writing stories, to painting, to drawing…
I’m a little Frida Kahlo — or Pablo Picasso 🙂

Great! Guess what she’s gonna do in the next few months?
“Uhm, read it?”
Exactly! Two times per day:

→    And before bedtime.
Just to remind herself of her uniqueness.
