Photo Tag

I've seen this tag done a couple places and think it's a fun way to capture the here and now of day to day life. You're supposed to take the photos without staging anything. So here's the good, bad and ugly :)


My Laundry Pile: I did 7 loads yesterday which is why this is so small. We all know it won't last.



My Kitchen Sink: I am thoroughly anti sink clutter. Call me a minimalist. When we replaced our kitchen counters last year I had them replace my sink to include one with a built in soap dispenser. Love it.


Favorite Shoes: Flip flops, of course. I'm loving these blingy ones right now




Our Most Popular Potty: The one in the kids' bathroom. It's right off the bonus/play room and most convenient during the day. (and still needs to be painted, it's the next project on my list)




Self Portrait: This is way harder than it looks


My favorite room: Not because of how it looks, because it is a HUGE mess, but because we are finally done painting all 1000+ square feet of it (6 gallons of paint!!!). This is exactly how it looks right now. I've decided to dejunk, reorganize, purge and deep clean as part of this project. It will be put back together before I hit the hay tonight. I have some really cool ideas for this room so stay tuned!


What my kids are doing right now: The girls are napping (M is actually asleep right now). Carter is in his room playing with his Legos (of course)



My fridge: Let's be honest, in dire need of a good wipedown:

Play along if you want! And look for your blog invite tonight because they will also be done before I go to bed!

Fabulous post.
Your hair is so cute! You look great! The playroom is divine. How nice to have such a big room for all of the toys and mess.

Very fun! Hmmmmmmm, your playroom is almost as big as our house (1200 sq/ft on a good day)!!!!! One can always dream......

I emailed you already, right?

What a fun post! I am definitely going to play along. You look SO cute in yellow! I love the colors in your kids bathroom. And the painting looks great! We have a big playroom, too, and it sugged so bad to paint it! I feel for ya.

So fun! I want to play on this one, too! Your yellow tee is SO cute, I love it! And the yellow in the playroom is pretty glorious too - so cheery! Your fridge is so well stocked and organized, I think you might laugh when you see mine...

I am playing too! This was super fun to read. I love the flip flops and your cute haircut. I can't wait to see what you do with the playroom. I hired painters to paint mine...only now I want the ceiling done too and I think I'll be stuck with that job. It definitely won't take 6 gallons though...that's a LOT!

Fun post - I love the kids' bathroom, and can't wait to see the playroom after you've done all your fun ideas. Connor is totally getting into Legos too. Your hair looks great. Mine has become more and more difficult to straighten after having my babies :( One of the many sacrifices, I guess!

MarieC said...

You look absolutely marvelous!

I don't know that I dare play this game right now. My sink is scary! (Eldon is the one doing most of the dishes now, and he's not as fastidious about keeping it clean as I would like, but, hey, he's 15!)

Monique, I got your blog invite. Good idea, stay at home mom who's hopefully through painting! the playroom looks so much better with color! What a cute tie idea and grill for Allen's father's day. I know his dad is so proud of him and all of you.Love, Mom F

Ann said...

Your play room is darling. I love the color. It makes me feel happy! I'm on my way in the morning to tend Charlie. Wish your kids were nearby to play.

let's see...my laundry pile is about 9 loads today (laundry day), my fridge is filthy, my sink is stacked with dishes from making muffins this morning, there's swim suits hanging all over my kids bathroom right now, i look atrocious with my allergy eyes, and my kids are in front of the TV. I don't think I'm going to play that game yet.....

Kristi said...
