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!

"Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary"

From Tommy Thumb's Pretty Songbook (c. 1744)

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.

One of my close friends, Krystal just had a baby on Sunday morning.  Her name is Mary and I had the opportunity to meet her today and take some newborn pictures of her.  We thought she would sleep through the whole thing and I was excited to get some sweet naked sleeping angel pictures of her, but she decided to be bright-eyed pretty much the whole time.  Only when we were done (and she was fully dressed again) did she fall back to sleep.  So I had to steal some cute sleeping pics of her in her PJ's too.  :)  She is so beautiful and it was so much fun to take her picture!  I was also able to get some with her beautiful mommy who looks amazing, and Mary's big sister Ellie woke up from her nap right at the end of shooting so we got a sweet one with her too.  I cannot wait to watch her grow up.  It is crazy to think that she and Melia will be the same grade in school--she seems sooo tiny and young!  Here are a few pics from our shoot:
