I think that having kiddos makes you live life in the most real sort of way! When you invite people into your home and the kiddos are roaming around you never know what might come out of their mouths and people get to see who you really are and how you live your life. Maybe I have not mastered the art of hiding all when people come over but to be truthful I hope that I never do master that. When people come over I just want them to see me…I don’t have it all together and with two little ones I do not have time to even pretend like I have it all together (this is hard for me). I think that is a sweet blessing though of having little ones…no hiding it is just out there for all to see. Before the kids I would of spent all morning cleaning the house and preparing a most incredible lunch etc. This morning though Charis needed attention as well as Cai and we had some sweet mommy kiddo time together that if I was pretending to be who I am not I would of missed out on. Instead I made Chicken Salad last night in between the temper tantrums (night time will do that) and the wanting to read stories (thank you Daddy for some quality kiddo/story time). This morning it was kiddo time and however the house looked when our guest arrived well that is how it was…we were living our day and our guest stepped into our day. Yes, it was crazy and no it was not gourmet (it can’t be when your two year old is talking about poop during lunch) but hey that is where I am in life…welcome to my real life! Oh, lunch was still wonderful and my guest got to see just where I am in life and what it looks like…what it really for real looks like and I even think that she enjoyed herself! I like learning to be me! It is hard sometimes to let little and big things go but the kiddos are helping me to see who I really am without all the fake stuff that the world teaches.
