| Introduction | hi, i'm Les Westphal. I am first and foremost a mom to my 4 great kids. (...also a wife, sister, friend and daughter) But, if left alone for any period of time..I am an artist, product developer, inventor and furniture re-arranger. Focusing on art while raising children has helped me stay sane. I try to incorporate making art into everything we do. It also refers to the ability to teach, coerce, appease and push the children into their best lives with finesse. To see the beauty in the mess, the joy in the chaos, the inspiration in the mundane. The result is.....the art of a mom.com. Products,tips,tricks,love and art. I hope you find something inspiring! ~Les |
