Messy Mondays: The Play Room

The dress up area has been my nemeses for ages.  Not because it wasn't picked up today, but this is what is looks like cleaned up!! It's the kind of thing that you don't even think about any more because it's been like this so long.

My book area is supposed to be sorted by size and be changed once a week, so the kids have a variety of books for their age.  

I don't think that has ever happened. 

Underneath this pile is a baby crib. It is a storage area for stuffed animals.  Natalie's poor baby is sleep deprived from never being able to fit.

Someday this will look better.  Happy Messy Monday to You!!  

And Happy 59th Birthday to my Mom :) ~Julia

Well, this thing is definitely going to take some getting used to. What I mean is the whole, "quick, get the camera and take a picture of my trashy house!" thing. It dawned on me a moment too late, after the latest kitchen disaster was cleaned up, that I should have caught it all on camera. This was no post dinner mess, mind you. It's been there for a couple days now. Yea, I've totally just been ignoring it, secretly wishing my 4 year old would get ambitious or my husband would swoop in and take care of things. In an effort to prove my worth as a housewife, I cleaned the kitchen tonight.

That leaves me now with this little piece of work:

Yes, there really is a dining room table under there. In my defense, this is an ongoing craft project... But really, there is no excuse. Go ahead, you can feel better about yourself now.

Messy Mondays

We all have struggles and short comings. Personality quirks, annoying habits, hangups and moments of hysteria. No one is perfect and yet, we are usually our biggest critic. I want to personally make sure that no one out there mistakenly thinks (even for a brief fleeting moment), that Julia and I are anywhere close to being perfect. Now, I realize that could come across slightly arrogant, simply because I must first be assuming there are people that really do think I have it all together! Arrogance aside, I just want to make sure we are doing our part to combat a very serious disorder that is targeting women across the country:

"Pinterest Delusion Disorder (PDD) - A serious disease in which moms start thinking they are failures for not (1) arranging their kids’ food in cool shapes for every meal, (2) not DIYing every piece of furniture and art in their homes, and (3) not spending hours designing homemade printables for their children."

We do put a lot of time in here, at All Things with Purpose, to provide you with cool ideas, helpful tips and of course, lots of free printables! But we DON'T have it all together, and we DO have moments of mess and mayhem. I'll be sharing these with you every Monday, so tune in each week for an ego boost!
