Any Given Saturday

Any given Saturday you will find me in a state of euphoric chaos.

It's typically laundry day hence the basket, unmade bed, piled with clothes in the picture.  I like to do it that day so the laundry doesn't sit in the dryer and I can just fold/put away.  Like that ever really happens, right?!

I prefer comfy clothes - hello tunics and all the leggings.  And, as you can see, my toddler prefers none.  He would run from me in his birthday suit if I let him.  But....the carpet...

We chase and play and scramble to get appropriately clothed for a public adventure.

And I wouldn't have it any other way.  

There is always so much discussion about whether or not social media is a lie and if we really give off a "perfect" image with what we share and I know we do.  I mean, Pinterest wouldn't exist if we were sharing our crafty failures, right?

Life is crazy beautiful wonderful and I want to share it that way so that when I look back at this space I created to capture memories 30 years from now when my children are all grown and out of the house, I can remember it all.  Not just the moments when things were perfect, but the moments when we decided to grow as a family and come together.

In reality, I think those moments are more meaningful even if they aren't Kodak moments.
