It’s Doodle Tuesday again!!
This doodle started as a tangled rope and ended up being some sort of squid from the depths of some nightmare. This is also the first doodle that I publish from a new reusable Notebook that I just purchased and really liked. The notebook is the , which has a leather hardcover. Really sleek-looking and the “paper” is as good as the Everlast.
As a parent, the general notion of screen-time is challenging to disregard. I spent a lot of time thinking about it, as it is a concept that bothers me.

This Tuesday doodle is part of that series (the first one I publish). What do you think? ...
