Tag: Keepin' It Real

Image
By
I looked at my comments really late one night and noticed that my friend, Kelley, had tagged me. Usually, I'll read someone's tag and think, "That would be really fun." So, I looked at Kelley's blog and internally groaned! I guess what you're supposed to do is get off the computer RIGHT NOW and take the pictures before you do anyting. That means NO CLEANING, and NO MAKEUP or PRIMPING! I was just so not ready for this one. But, before I got up the next morning and started cleaning, I took my pictures. So, they are pretty true to the real thing. And, it's ... well, scary!

My Toilet
(Seriously, it could have been a lot worse.)

My Sink

(It's usually fuller than this. But, because I always try to get the dishes done before going to bed, I'd done the dishes the night before.)

My Closet

(Okay, so everything on the left of the picture, and all the pants on the top of the picture are my husband's. I know, I know ... I am totally lacking in the clothes department right now. But, only for five more months [assuming I can get back into my prepregnancy wardrobe then]. And, I don't wear any of the stuff hanging here anyway because they all look like tents on me right now. And, yes, it's a very messy closet.)

My Favorite Room

*My Living Room. It's where I spend most of my "ME" time.*

My Refrigerator

My Laundry Room

*Um, it was laundry day. That's all I have to say.*

What My Children are Doing

What My Hubby's Doing

My Favorite Shoes

Me Right Now

*YIKES!!!!!*

Oh, and I tag: Rivka O., Aubrey A., Kris T., and Debbie S.!

THIS is why I read blogs (and don't do one of my own! :) :) :) )!! You are worried about nothing! With four kids and chores to do, I'm really impressed! And I'm also glad to know that I'm not the only one who runs around without make-up. I figure, unless I'm "going out" (i.e. church functions, a date) why wear make-up when only my kids look at me all day? :)

Hey! I finished my end of the tag process! You're house looks about the same as mine (as far as being clean goes)! No worries! You look great too for being 5 months along. I'm starting to accumulate fat around my face. It's going to be a long two months!!

You are such a good sport!! It looked exactly as clean and organized as I knew it would - at least to my standards that's pretty clean and organized! Thanks for going along with it! :)

I like that one...I wish we could get those pictures in People and other magazines of the celebrities we idolize to show that everyone is "real". Fun. Maybe I'll try that sometime. :-)

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
