I'm Coming Clean For The Holidays


Today I am writing my 300th post, WOW! I actually can't believe I have done that. This morning I spent some time going through my old posts just to take a look and I realized something. 

My life looks so calm an almost serene in my blog posts. Like I just tada magically reupholstered a chair over the weekend, while my home stayed immaculate and my children played quietly in the other room.

HA! SOOO far from the reality. So today I'm going to give you a more realistic view of my life. Here are some of my un-staged pictures for you.










So don't worry about the mess this holiday and just enjoy your family. The bigger the mess the better the time, right?!

    I'm going to try the pizza box car divider for my teenage girls. Love it! You are perfect, perfectly normal. Happy Thanksgiving!

    I. Love. It! So real, so true, so funny. Love the pizza box idea - wish I had thought about that when my kids were little! Although, it still might come in handy... ;-)

    You should have seen my house when I was painting my kitchen cabinets - everything else was 'let go' with my singular focus - talk about a disastrous home!! But, we survived.

    Thanks for keeping it real.

    I love your outlook!! I have totally been there. But watch out...they grow up fast! And all in all...they look like they are having a ball {for the most part}!

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Sarah!
