Fresh For Friday.

Learning.  These past few weeks have been full of discovering me again (okay that sounds corny).  Lets just say its been a few of those “what the?” weeks.  I am sure so many of you can relate…especially those parent’s at home trying to raise babies and run successful businesses.  I feel as though I am 20 steps behind the world most days.

So, what have I learned or at least been reminded of this week?

1.  Schedules are necessary.  In order to manage it all, its easier when its staring you in the face.  You feel more accountable and well…less frazzled.
2.  Sticking to a schedule is not easy.  Especially when working out is one of your tasks.
3.  Kids make messes faster than can be cleaned up…no matter how hard I try.  Okay honestly, I kinda knew this one already.  Its insane.
4.  Perfection is non existent.  My floors will be dirty, the laundry will go unfolded, emails might take longer to send replies…but it will all get done…eventually.
5.  Happy kids make a happy home.  How can little people have such an effect on a good vs. bad day?  Powerful little things.
6.  Blogs, facebook + twitter do not run my life.  Yes, I actually had to learn that.  I am sure we all fall into the trap now and then.
7.  Enjoy life.  Seriously.
8.  Remember to take snapshots…this one is a great reminder for photographers.  We are so great at capturing those wonderfully dressed up, pretty moments.  But lets not forget the in between.
9.  Dont forget the people sitting in your living room.  They are what get  you through the day.
. . . . . .
This is a biggie for me!
10.  I cannot do it all.  I try.  I fail.  I learn.  I grow…and then well…I blog about it.

Here’s a little sneak into my new non-perfect laundry room complete with several loads to fold, load in the wash, load in the dryer…an over flowing basket and a heap of things to be returned sitting by my purse.  No stress.  Yup, I am learning.
