Rarely will you see mess in the background of my photos- why? b/c I have pushed the mess to the side, out of view from the prying lens of the camera... Or sometimes I just photoshop mess out. I enjoy craft and cooking- but I make mess along the way- maybe I should take some photos from behind the scenes :)Housewife in Heelshttp://www.housewifeinheels.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242075868158858552.post-15156488214742164762013-02-03T14:51:28.943+10:002013-02-03T14:51:28.943+10:00I am so with you, I pretty much suck on most front...I am so with you, I pretty much suck on most fronts :) I personally aspire to doing the least amount of work for the biggest gain.

There's no perfect solution and how you "mama" today may change tomorrow, just roll with it and enjoy what you do when you do it. It's called unconditional love for a reason, and whether it's a colored straw in a cup, or sewing a dress made from vintage fabric sourced from Granny's old underpants, they'll think you're awesome! (just to clarify, I haven't ever done the vintage underpants thing...purely to get my point across...honest)Kathyhttp://kathyholden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242075868158858552.post-25973973506517815882013-02-01T13:24:16.197+10:002013-02-01T13:24:16.197+10:00Maybe I should!?!
