Keeping it Real

Do you have times where you feel like you're not keeping on top of anything? Since Dan came back from Wales I feel like I still haven't come up for air yet. This week has flown by and I really didn't have that much to do. And blogging? I just totally forgot.

 

With the internet, fb, blogging, you have the option to portray yourself in anyway you decide. Most of the time "I choose" to show the side of myself that I like. The part of me that has it together. And with that, I have a feeling a lot of people think I might sit around my house looking like this- hair and makeup done and in a spotless house. 

 

Just thought I would show you "real life" so you know there is a lot you DON'T see. This is what my house looked like when the kids went to bed last night.

You've got tutus, play food, magnets, mixing bowls, shopping bags, easter hats, laundry, torn up mail and unidentified clutter.

And this is my uniform- most days.

No makeup, bun, running shorts and a tank.

I apologize if my face just made it too real for you. But some days you just try and make it to bed time? Amiright?

I think sometimes we need to give ourselves grace. My tendency is to beat myself over failing at everything. But I think there's an ebb and flow. There are times 'having it together' is easier than others, parenting comes easier at times, multi-tasking is easier-does that make sense? I don't know, maybe that's just what I need to tell myself today. :)

So here's to "keeping it real".
