beautiful messes.

If I let myself, sometimes I can get so frustrated and frazzled at the amount of messes two little boys under 3 can make. I mean within minutes it can go from calm to chaos.

But then I step back sometimes and am thankful for those beautiful messes. The pure joy of even having the privilege to raise two beautiful boys that make said messes is beyond words. I do struggle with keeping the house spotless, but I have to remember that it doesn't have to be. It's not a show-house, it's not a place that we just sleep in, we LIVE here and not to mention we also have a tiny little dog that likes to make an occasional mess herself....mostly for added attention.

So while my other family members houses might be spotless pretty much consistently, I do not apologize for the occasional stain on the floor or pile of toys that got dragged into the living room. It's our house and more importantly, our home. And I'm mostly thankful for the beautiful messer-uppers named Hunter and Carter. <3.
