Keepin it real

By on November 8, 2011 in Keepin it real
Keepin it Real on Tuesdays. 
 Take a picture of one of your rooms (the way it really looks when no one is watching).  Blog about it or post a picture on your Flickr, then link to this post at the bottom linky link.  Lets stop pretending our lives are picture perfect, reality is more fun anyway and we can all share in the fact that we are not super heros we are women with real lives who make awesome stuff but forget to scratch off a few things on the To Do list. 


I woke up today thinking I couldn’t think of what to post for Keepin it Real (my house is pretty clean right now) and then I walk into MY bathroom.  The bathroom which is everyone’s favorite.  Why is it that my bed, my room, my closet, my bathroom is always the best in the house?  Does this happen at your house.


Anyhoo….here it is.  Again, if no further post happen on this blog, then Poppa must have killed me for posting it.  This picture is not only keepin it real but pushing me to get this sink clean again.  Refinishing this sink has been on my to do list forever.  The wall behind it has some strange hole which someone filled with caulk before we lived here and it bothers me to see it but if I fix it then I also have to repaint that wall because this paint is impossible to match.

To cover what is going on in this picture, we have of course half the toothbrushes in our home in this bathroom (my kids have two other bathrooms they could use you know) a pair of woolen socks that need to be hand washed, someone must have been playing cards and left those on my sink along with the screw driver from my installing a new no slam toilet lid. Livie’s shoes and sunglasses.  A hemp tissue, some bum balm, and other usual bathroom accoutrements.




Thank you to all the wonderful ladies who linked up last week (with no notice too : )  I can’t wait to see your reality post this week.


A few things to remember:
1. Make sure the link you post is the URL to your actual post and not to your main blog.  To do that just right click on the post heading of your Keepin it Real post then paste that into the linky link below.
2. Please include a link back to this post in your blog post.

Keepin it real

By on November 4, 2011 in Keepin it real

A dear bloggy friend of mine yesterday blogged about how other bloggers seemed to be able to do so much more than she ever could(believe me, its not true, she is an amazing momma)while keeping everything in life organized and all the to do’s done. After reflecting on my own blog, I have decided to periodically just pick a room and take a picture of the reality. No straightening or picking up to make it look better, just brutal honesty. The brutal truth is that even though I do get alot of projects done, the ones that don’t get done are so much larger. Behind every pretty picture of a finished project or recipe is a pile of laundry waiting to be washed or folded and a sink full of dishes. I wish for this blog to be a place of refreshment and inspiration, not a place where others will ever feel less that what they truly are.

So here it is. I walked into the livingroom and yikes, Poppa may kill me for posting this : ) I snapped a picture because I really care about my bloggy friend as well as every other reader who visits this blog regularly. You all make this blog possible and you inspire me to share and write about my little life.

Yeah,you guessed it, this is probably why that pile has not been folded but honestly, there is always a pile there because we do 3 loads of laundry a day everyday but Sunday and on laundry day it goes all day!

I am adding a linky link in case you want to keep it real with me.  Feel free to take a picture of your reality and post it to your own blog or flickr then post a link here.  I am thinking of making this a regular thing, maybe on Tuesdays, whadda ya think?
