Michelle- this is what happens when I actually take a shower and clean up. Looks pretty nice huh! But what you don't realize is the reality before this. Nobody really sees how crazy our house gets. Or what happens when you let things slide. When we have visitors over- they usually see this.
Me- attempting to look nice for Michael. I loved our talk at Mom's group- about putting our husbands first. What I need to work on is letting the p.j.s and sweats go.Michael thanks you Cate.
Caleb's room- car and dinosaur free. It took about 30 mins to make it look like this.
My girl- sweetly bathed and dressed.
Caleb obviously still unhappy about his bath. What can I say? He is a boy- and I tried!
Who's living room is this? Looks pretty nice. Would love to relax in it! Where are all the Cheerios and Fishes though?
Gabriella- your room is clean! ( I wish I had a before photo) Because you would understand why it took me nearly 2 hours to clean today. We have had a line up of little guest over lately- and it showed.
What! A bed! So nice. But where are all the clothes, books and toys?
( so this is what a clean kitchen looks like!)
This is only 1/4 of the laundry I did today. Thankfully a Youngdale Angel folded most of it and secretly delivered it to our back door! Yes Michelle I finally agree. I do have a laundry problem!
Bedroom disaster. Looks peaceful and cozy right!
Okay- this bathroom looks clutter free- but it is full of germs and bugs. Yuck!
This is what I look like most of the time! It is fuzzy on purpose- because that is how I feel most of the time. Frazzled and fuzzy. Michael must think I am hot!
Our livingroom is...lived in. I go back and forth with letting the kids eat on the couch. This is what happens when I am inconsistent .
Look at the floor!
Caleb looking nice. This is right before lunch. And yes he is eating candy.
Bella! Still in p.j.'s too. Can you see all the lip gloss all over her face?
This is what entertained them all morning while I cleaned the house. I am a terrible mom I know! Despite rumors of me always doing fun things with the kids- sometimes I resort to this kind of activity instead. Sorry to disapoint- but I thought it was about time for everybody to know!

Michelle- you never believe that my house is messy. Let this be proof. And for any of other moms that think that I have it all together. This is the truth!

It thanks me for staying home- although the flowing coffee was tempting. And to all you other moms please feel free to stop by anytime. Who knows what you will find!

Thanks for sharing... you are real afterall.
LOL! OK, Stinker Pants, you're off the hook this time but only this time. Next time I want you to leave all the clothes and germs and fish and cherrios behind and come over, for Pete's Sake! Your kids can have fun at my messy house!
Cari, I didn´t know you had stopped by our house to take pictures of each of our rooms, and you didn´t even say "hi" to us?? What kind of sister-in-law does that!?
The funny thing is, the very night of Mom's Group I worked out right before Ed came home. He arrived home to find a seaty, stinky wife. When he asked what I had talked about that morning, I had to sheepishly tell him that I hadn't followed my own advice very well! But at least I was at the door to greet him, even if I wasn't looking my best.:)
you mean you're not superwoman?!?! =)
How sweet that you went to all that trouble for him! I'm not a great housekeeper, but DH doesn't let it get to him. On days like yesterday where I mopped all the floors, he gives me tons of compliments! hehe
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Always nice to see a new face!
Way to go Cari!!!!!!! Welcome to the club. I'm feeling so much better, there's someone aout there like me!!!

Carla
