I found a great blog today....Decor Chick...how have I missed this up til now?? I was reading The Stories of A to Z and her real home tour. Yep that GENIOUS Decor Chick is having a link up party...
It’s all about embracing normalcy and imperfections....I have plenty of those!! I love the idea of showing my house as it is...today...a Thursday. A Thursday of a week I have not felt good. A Thursday of a week that has been wild. Really a Thursday that is like any other one! ;) So here goes...real life....
This is the mud room. Yes we live on a farm. The mud room is literally a MUD room!! :) And a peek through to the kitchen table full of drop offs after a long work day!
Into the kitchen with the chili still on the stove, the dishes still in the sink, and a vintage hard hat by the cook top....yes vintage hard hat...that might be a blog post for another day. It will not reside there forever! :)
This is the living room behind the couch...or the "office". Yes toys, etsy stuff, a camera shy teen working on a scrapbook...no spoilers but there is a future blog reveal hiding in there....in it's "before" state.
The living room...ugh that lamp needs a makeover but we need to talk about that another day. Right now...those TOYS are TAKING OVER MY LIFE!! I think they multiply while I sleep...
Our bedroom...yes I make my bed every day...most days anyway. :) I didn't even realize you could see that box til I took this picture... See the exercise bike to the left...I dust that every week...dust it...
And the downstairs bath...this is what it looks like everyday...at least the towels are hanging! :)
I will leave the upstairs with the kid's rooms for another time. Too much real life in one post could make y'all change your mind about coming back here everyday! :)
Y'all head on over to Decor Chick and link up your own real home!
~Thanks for stopping by!~

Love the Decor Chick blog!! I'm so glad you found her. She has some great ideas, that I copy every chance I get.
I love the color of your bathroom and the tranquility of your bedroom. I also love your kitchen cabinets and island. The things we put our kids through for the sake of a photo for a blog post. lol Poor kids. =)
Have a lovely evening,

Thank you for this post. I see so many and their homes look perfect and I wonder how they do it...and maybe they do, but now I feel like I'm not alone in real life....real messes.

Amen!
Hello from Serenity Now's blog party:)
Your real life bathroom looks pretty good to me! Compared to the bathrooms in our house, which always have dirty clothes in the corners because my kids are still in training....
With all of the usual perfectly staged pictures that you see on blogs, it's fun to see what our homes really look like!
I'm visiting from Amanda's party.
It's so refreshing to see real life on a blog! Looking at all the gorgeous houses & decor out there can really make you feel like crap about how your house looks. Thanks for sharing!!
Visiting from Serenity Now!
Thanks for sharing your real house pictures! I love reading all the decor blogs, but always feel bad because they are so clean and with 6 kids and one more on the way- it just doesnt happen here!
Girl, the only thing that got me to clean up this week was b/c my 3 year old's bday party was this morning. ;) I was up very late last night and got up very early this morning to finish up. And it's already a wreck again!! ;) Thanks for linking up with me. :)
Great Pictures! After flipping through Decorating magazines and drooling over the beautiful (and CLEAN) homes its refreshing to see people living with their clutter. Life is messy!
