My Real Life in Photos

1. The Fridge - typical view. To be honest, just this morning before reading about this idea I rearranged some of the door shelves to put like items together.


2. My closet - this is how it almost always looks. The one thing I'm a little OCD about it is arranging my clothes in a color order. Notice that one door is missing and has been for over 4 years. Some day Paul is going to fix it and put it back on.


3. The kitchen sink - dirty dishes waiting to go in the dishwasher that is full of clean dishes. It is Taylor's week to unload and he slept in and didn't have time to unload the dishwasher. One thing I will not do is unload so the dirty dishes pile up and wait to get done.


5. My toilet - fairly clean at the moment. Exercise clothes on the back - since they get used almost every day I don't put them away, it's easier just to leave them out. I've been wanting to repaint in the little toilet/shower room. Paul likes the color but I don't.


6. Favorite shoes - These are my very favorite and have been for a long time. I bought them on a whim at Kohl's a couple of years ago and wear them almost every day when the weather is good. They are so comfortable and go with almost everything.


7. Favorite room - it's a tie for this one. The above picture is Brooke's room but someday will be my office. I love this room because of all the natural light it has with the two windows. It's a good sized room and I love the painted paneling on the bottom half of the walls.
The picture below is Jared and Kamryn's room. I love this room for what it represents -my babies, all 5 of them. This is the only nursery I ever had with 5 kids. I love the wallpaper and their cute little beds. I will be so sad when it comes time to take down that wallpaper.



8. What the kids are doing right now - right when I started this project this is exactly what Jared and Kamryn were doing. Jared didn't want his picture taken (above) and Kamryn (below) had just finished eating some cereal (for lunch). Notice Jared is still in pjs and Kamryn is wearing her princess dress up for the 4th day in a row.
Since the older 3 are at school right now, I don't have pictures of what they are doing.


Just had to throw this one in there.
Taylor took this picture the other night when he had been playing with Jared and Kamryn.





8. Laundry - A view (above) of my "laundry room" which is really just a closet off the kitchen. Below is my laundry hamper in our room. Laundry day is Monday so it's about 1/2 full. Everyone has their own hamper in their room but didn't feel like taking pictures of each one.


I'll share something - I hate doing laundry. One of my least liked tasks (although I would probably rather do laundry than cook) mostly because of where i have to do the laundry. I end up in the worst mood by the end of the day with clothes all over the kitchen tabel and then trying to get it out of there in time to put on dinner.


9. Self portrait - I took several trying to get a good one and this is the best I could get. I do love the necklace and earrings Paul gave me for Christmas. He gives me jewelry every Christmas and I love that tradition.

10. Dream vacation - I couldn't figure out how to get a picture posted but go to this website and check it out.

I've seen the idea for this post in several places. See here and here.
