I’m a SAHM and that means a lot of things. One things means that I live, work, play, and learn here with my family and GUESS WHAT? That means it’s not always tidy and pretty and clean.
So let’s get real!
Walk into my home today and you’ll see this:
This is Val’s play room. Complete with stickers stuck to the floor and toys around. There are toys on most other floors of the house too. Including the bathroom and kitchen even.

My laundry is over flowing thanks to the move – our dryer doesn’t work here. Ours is electric and the hookup is for gas. I have been hang drying some of it – including cloth diapers and my family has been helping dry some of it. Alas, I’m still behind.

My kitchen sink is usually also full. Being home all day with James and Val and cooking most of our meals, creates big messes. Notice the citrus juicer is also still dirty from this morning.
So there you have it! I’m not always perfect, my house is not always tidy, but it’s a busy home and it’s filled with love and that is what’s important.















You are such a beautiful person, I’m proud to call you my niece and also my friend. I love you!
I love you too, Auntie Patti! <3 Thanks for making me cry.
Well said and photographed!
