This is real life. The truth is, I'm not that great at it. But this is it, and it is my life. You want me to post pictures of what I wear every day? You'd have a collaboration of different yoga pants, and oversized t-shirts--some worn multiple days in a row {cringe}! You want to know my toddler lunch meal ideas? They often vary between dino nuggets, pb&j, or ravioli--but hey, at least it's the frozen kind and not Chef Boyardee...although that has made a few appearances! You want pictures of my home decor? Well my house is usually a mess. There are dishes in the sink and laundry to be put away. Most days, with my two crazy sidekicks calling the shots, I don't have time to shower, and rarely even do my hair {am I really admitting this in a public forum?!}! But this is life, and it is my life. And I'm lucky enough to get to share it with an amazing husband and the 3 cutest kids in the world, so no matter how you look it, I'm the luckiest!

"The Luckiest"

by Ben Folds

I don't get many things right the first time,
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am, I am
The luckiest.

Sometimes life tends to get repeatitive and mundane, but with Mike by my side there is always adventure and laughs. I muse at how together we can laugh as time passes us by. It seems asthough we are always laughing at something. And even more fun than the time we spend alone together are the times when we get to have little Spencer with us too! Spencer and I have this little thing when Mike says something crazy Spencer and I will just give eachother this "look" that Mike never notices. I guess the look is sortof acknowledging that we both agree that "Daddy is crazy!" Then we both laugh until our stomachs cannot handle it anymore. Spencer is mature far beyond his years and he is so much fun to spend time and play around with! I told him last night, "Spencer, I hate it when you're not here!" Life just isn't the same when he's not around.
