Lost with what to do career wise 2 kids under 3

My background is administration.
My interests are drama, english, art. Which I studied.
My baby is 5 months old now and I really don't want to return to administration. I feel completely unfulfilled doing it quite frankly.
The trouble is I don't know what to do with my career. In an ideal world I'd love to write for a magazine or newspaper but am well aware that requires intense studying most likely journalism which at 30 and 2 kids is impractical. I feel sad that I missed the boat so to speak. I went straight into work after college as at the time I had no choice as I needed money. I guess the sensible option would be to return to work and pursue freelance writing on the side but the thought of returning drains the life out of me. Anyone feel this way and then turned their life around?

Millions of people!

Lots of them are reading or posting threads on this board:

Mature Study and Retraining

It’s worth a browse even if you’re not considering a course or training - just to reassure yourself that at 30 you still have decades to fulfil your potential.
