Ever try to put a round cabbage in a square fridge? This mama would not in the fridge. My solution: let it wilt for a few days and then it will. Just kidding.

Gluten-free bread, epic fail. Here is how my first homemade bread machine version of gluten-free bread turned out. Isn't it a mess? At first I was disappointed and then I remembered it would fit great with my beautiful mess theme! It tastes gross too, but I'm still eating it.

Putting shoes away is a constant request on my part. The other day I said, "Please put your shoes in the shoe closet or at least make them look organized. This is what I got.


Cute, guys, real cute.

Boxes upon boxes of toys. We look at them and think, "Too many toys! We have to get rid of some of these toys." We're working on it. But then I think what a blessing to have too many toys and a home with air conditioned and heated rooms to keep them in. It's a beautiful mess.

Laundry Kwikwash Laundry

Years ago I lived in a neighborhood with a laundromat on the corner. For a year I thought the sign said, "Laundry, Laundry, Laundry." One day I noticed it really said "Laundry, Kwikwash, Laundry," and I couldn't believe I had been reading it wrong every day for a year. But doesn't life feel like that now? Laundy, laundry, laundry! (Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.) I'm thinking about doing a whole series on laundry. 

I didn't take much time editing this photo, I think the color is off, but I've been lazy with my photography lately because, well, I have too much laundy (cubed).

Minions

This was not beautiful. Not by a long shot. The mess is not beautiful, and the photo was not beautiful. This was before I took my photography class, although even if I had been the star pupil it wouldn't have made this shot nice. This is embarrassing, but I promise I did not make it. It is beautiful that everyone was still alive after this mess happened! It was actually a gift from God that I had a friend over when this happened, because if she hadn't been here I'm sure there would have been tears and worse.

True story.
