aww, i loved watching you. This has to be because you are moving, right? I expected you to be super anal and clean! lol. AND, Mostly, I am AMAZED that you left Ella in that spot and walked all around your house and came back and she was still chillin just hanging out...like no big deal mom, you can trust me here and go do your thing!

Love it! I don't know why I pictured you with...

Love it! I don't know why I pictured you with a southern accent...but you definitely don't have one!

Love it. Still not sure how I feel about vlogging as a whole, but I do like seeing my fav bloggers talk! Just not me, lol.

Seeing you on video "in person" made me miss you a little ;) Since, you know I've met you before, haha. Love it!

Ugh, the carseat is the bane of my existence! There is no where for it to go, and it comes in with us b/c it's easier than getting him in and out while carrying stuff in. Houses really need a carseat storage area!

I loved how she looked at you for a second like WTH? and then was like ....ok all smiles now mama :)

I love this! And I can't wait to start. I'm a new follower. I'm Shannon Dew's cousin...and I found you on her blog, on her Messy Mom's Monday today! And...we're going to be in the moving madness here soon. (March 10th) is the day we're starting...so I'm sure our house will be an eye soar. But that's ok! I can't wait for Monday!!

So fun to see your house! When I first read about the TV I was thinking didn't they just get a big one and they are getting rid of it! Glad to see it wasn't your TV!

2012-01-23T15:56:12.053-08:00

My mom told me once that being a stay at home mom was so easy! But I definitely remember one time when a friend of hers stopped by to visit and my sister and I were sitting on the kitchen floor eating dinner because the table was so full of stuff that we had no where to sit! That is how she got the sign that reads "Dull Women Have Immaculate Houses". Everyone is so busy! If they don't have kids keeping them busy, they most likely have a full time job and a commute...and some people have both! No one should ever beat themself up over not having it all together because no one does all of the time. We just do the best we can.

PS I just realized in my morning rush I linked the wrong post. Awesome. At least it went to a messy house post...just not the right one!

Is it sad have more than one?? Doesn't speak too highly of my housekeeping does it!

2012-01-23T14:03:14.372-08:00

I love this! It's so fun to see and hear bloggers you read all the time. I totally know we'd be friends. Sure you don't want to move to Kansas?? I'm sure we have TONS of naval bases here in the midwest. LOL

2012-01-23T11:49:27.330-08:00

Love it!! "Aww - shoulda put that on camera" LMBO

So true! I normally try to turn the camera just enough to block out the pile of laundry or crop it later! LOL But now - yep - its very liberating!

LOVE! Thank you for your honesty

2012-01-23T09:26:19.939-08:00

Can I just say that I REALLY needed this link up today?? Just having one of those "OH MY LORD MY HOUSE IS TRASHED!" type days. Seeing that other moms are in the same boat makes me feel 100% better (and less alone). :)

LOVED the vlog. I do the same thing with my Christmas frames! LOL.

2012-01-23T09:14:15.491-08:00

Yay for a vlog! I have definitely decided you should move closer:-) Ella is so adorable...as always. Don't feel bad about the state of the house, before our moves we stop caring as well.

I love this link-up. It is nice to see some non perfect pics once in awhile! We totally still have all our Christmas cards on the mantle... and my shoes are almost to cause a divorce around here (and omygoodness precious baby!!)

Thanks for sharing this!

I love this link-up so much. If it weren't for the fact that I participate in another one every Monday, I would probably join in too (I think you mentioned last week that non-moms are encouraged to do it too?) I have been having a really hard time lately, not feeling "good enough." I've been feeling terribly guilty. And the major reason is that every blog I read seems to have pictures of a perfectly decorated house with everything in its place. My reality looks nothing like that!! With the busyness of working part time and being gone in Akron for classes for 12 hours every Tuesday and Thursday, I really struggle to keep my house clean, and even on my best days, my house looks nothing close to as good as the other houses I see in blogland. This link up makes me feel so normal, and I love it!! I'm so glad you and other ladies are being REAL. Because I guarantee a lot of those blogs I read are probably clearing clutter out of the backgrounds of their pictures and masking their true reality :-) (which I'm also guilty of at times!)

Anyway, thank you so much!!! My heart is happy today knowing that it's okay that I'm not perfect. I'd rather be living life than making sure my surroundings look perfect to outsiders :-)

2012-01-23T06:59:53.377-08:00

My car seat is always in the way. Usually in the narrow hallway for me to trip over. And trust me.. I do the exact same thing when I know I'm moving, because what's the point?

If I knew I was moving, I don't think I'd ...

2012-01-23T06:50:03.324-08:00

If I knew I was moving, I don't think I'd clean AT ALL. I mean, it's just not worth it!

Will you guys have to pack everything up to move, or does the military send packers/movers?

2012-01-23T05:31:50.585-08:00

LOVE IT! You are awesome.

And dude. My vlog died. No sound. Spent an hour this morning trying to fix it. I may have cried a little. Perfectionism over messy...cause that doesn't make me sound a little nuts. LOL

Love! Umm when KP was still in an infant seat that thing was ALWAYS in the way, and we still have our xmas stuff out too...yeah
