Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me

In this episode, I chat about having hobbies as a mom. My entire life I was a collector of hobbies, and then my first child was born and all my creative endeavors fell by the wayside. Why didn’t anyone tell me how important it is to have a hobby even though it takes time and sometimes money?
