I love Pinterest. Really I do. But sometimes I have to take a step back from the never-ending list of beautiful images before envy rears its ugly head. Because my reality right now looks nothing like the stylized beauty that fills my screen. There are toys scattered on the floor. A carefully constructed block tower that has been long abandoned for other things. A funky half-decorated tree (because we have a 1-year-old who likes to break things).
My dining room has become gift wrapping central, where I try to get a little bit done everytime I can steal away for a few seconds. Of course, that really is a nice way of saying that my dining room is a huge mess!
So yeah. My house isn’t the picture perfect scene that splashes the front pages of Pinterest, but it’s ours and it’s good.
