When people are all like, "I won't be able to DO things when I have children."
Usually I snap right back into shape. It lasts for like 2 seconds.
If you've said this to me in the past... don't worry, I've forgotten.
End vent. Moving on!
I believe you can set your mind to what you want to do... even as a mother!
Like paint a bedroom with two small children running around.
It's crazy. Yes. But they are my life... and I love to make it work!
Funny - my children are the ones who INSPIRE me.
They make me do crazy things! I was pretty much begged to paint their room "Crested Falcon."
::: sad, blank canvas :::
I just put every toy I could find in the living room and let them loose.
They were like elves on caffeine. Basically a dream come true for them.
And then I gave them chocolate-coconut milk shakes... hello!
Bribery is a good thing sometimes, folks.
You know you do it too! Don't judge.
::: what a can of $20 paint will get ya :::
::: Davie Crockett... I mean, er, Judah... approved! :::
P.S. My children typically wear more clothing. The stripping and raccoon hat was their inner wild man
coming out at they were slightly unsupervised by a domestic influence.
P.P.S. Yes, I obviously cleaned up the room and made the beds for the photo shoot.
But believe it or not - before naptime and bedtime they clean up EVERY toy.
It's a routine. They hate me for it. But I'm cool with being the bad guy.
Celebrating my one year blogiversary aaaaall week long...

ReplyDeletehaha you have no idea, Rosie. i get paint EVERYWHERE! my dad always use to make fun of me. i should have taken a picture of my legs... and the floorboards... i got it all off, but still!!! thanks!!!
Deletelove the color, it looks great! and i agree, having kids doesn't mean we can't do anything. just give them chocolate to keep them busy. just kidding. time management and creativity is a must. i don't always get them right, but it works!
ReplyDeletethis color is my all time fave! i used it in my kitchen back when we rented. just love it. such a non-overwhelming gray. totally agree - time management and creativity are KEY. i feel like i get the best of the world with my boys by my side through life! i'm sure you feel the same way about your kids!!!
