Keepin' It Real

I saw this on another blog one time and for some reason, decided to be brave today:


1. Refrigerator:

In serious need of groceries,
which will happen this afternoon.

2. Closet/Drawer:

This just got organized last week for the first time
since we moved in (during my nesting phase).
I would have done a dresser drawer,
but I don't want you to see my underpants.

3. Kitchen Sink:

This one saddens me.
It's usually clean, but I haven't unloaded
the dishwasher yet this morning.
You caught me.
Oh, and the lovely extension cord?
Our microwave fried months ago and it
ruined outlets, too...
Haven't fixed them yet.

4. Toilet:

Not too shabby...and I
even got Ali's tiny commode
in the picture!

5. Favorite Shoes:

I scored these for $4 at Target.
They give me blisters.
Luckily, I have a sweet husband
who broke them in for me
before church a few weeks ago.
They still hurt, but are
much better.

6: Favorite Room:

The girls' room.
It's magical and
their Daddy painted it for them.
I also L.O.V.E. Jaxon's room,
but refuse to ruin the surprise
by posting pictures before it's
finished.

7. What my kids are doing:

Playing like little angels.
You caught us on a good day. =)
Actually, Ali had been following me around.
Yes, we've been here 2.5 years and still
don't have door trim up in all of the rooms.
In fact, our bedroom isn't trimmed yet at all.
That's ok--you learn to
appreciate what matters,
and it isn't trim.

8. Laundry:

Before last week, I had mountains.
Nesting pays off.
Now, I won't be overwhelmed with
laundry when my little man
makes his appearance.

9. Self-Portrait:

There you have it.
I'm in my pajamas,
my bed is not made,
and Windex does not provide
a streak-free shine.
Hey, I said I was keeping it real.

10. Dream Vacation:

Will you keep it real?!
