I thought I’d share some honest pictures of what’s going on in our house today. If you’re like me, you compare yourself to other moms who “have it all together” and strictly on their pictures/blog. There is nothing wrong with posting picture perfect moments in your life…we all do it! But I thought I’d make you feel better about yourself today or at least reveal the “mess behind it all.”
It’s been a busy day as I’m getting ready for a craft show tomorrow…my first ever. I went to bed last night at 3:15AM and will probably do it again tonight. I slept through my 7:30am alarm today which totally threw off my day. Maddox decided not to take but a 20 minute nap this morning, just enough for me to blow dry my hair. So I worked and let B watch cartoons and completely mess up the house.
That’s just the living room. Have you ever seen that photo of a mom sitting in her kitchen with complete mess and chaos going on around her and the husband comes home and just stares at the mahem. The mom looks at him and says, “You know how you ask me what I do all day? Well today, I didn’t do it.” It’s so funny because it’s so true.
That would be my kitchen. We did hit up Chick-fil-a before errands so I totally take good mom credit for that. The boy needed to burn some energy.
Now we’re back home and I still have a lot to do. So our house will continue to look like this until Ryan gets home tonight. To which I will tell him I didn’t do what I spend hours doing every day. And gladly accept his help cleaning it up.
How did I blog this? On my phone in the play room while B played and M laid on the floor.
Now I have to go change a dirty diaper of an almost 3 year old. Ugh potty training! Hope you enjoyed some mom honesty.
