MH {Mom Humor}

A few weeks before my nephew arrived, my sister closed up her etsy shop. Maternity leave has been good for her…for several reasons. Reason one – lots of time cuddling this ridiculously adorable boy:

The second reason: Mom Humor.

Mom Humor is also affectionately referred to as “MH” by me and my sister when we talk about our mom’s humor. The cornier the joke – the more my mom likes it. You will often hear us saying things like, “Well, that was MH.” or “Wow….now that is MH”.

My sister’s MH levels have slowly been increasing in recent years. Then my nephew was born. Something happened…not sure if it was the hormones or just years of learning from the best, but my sister has reached a whole new level of MH. I told my mom that the student has become the teacher.

Lesley is participating in a daily sketch challenge on Instagram. What started as sketches turned into a whole MH series. It might possibly be her greatest work yet, at least in regards to making me smile. Let me introduce you to my new kitchen art:

Here are a few more from the series (there are more not pictured). The hotdog! I might need that one for our camper.

At my urging and everyone else on instagram, Lesley is temporarily opening her shop with a small number of 5×7 prints of the designs that can be used as card to mail and then hang as a print. I hesitate sharing that because I have a feeling by the time most of you read this, they will already be sold out. However, if you really want one maybe we can convince her to open her shop again and sell some more.

She’s making my mom proud, one print at a time.
