All Around the House

I found this meme while I was out surfing some other blogs. I don't remember where I found it (sorry who's ever this was) but I thought it was really fun.
The premise is this, take picture of these 10 house-hold items but there is no primping or preparing allowed (it was really hard not to 'stage' things). The pictures of the items are to be taken as they are at that were moment. So here we go.

The Fridge.

Full of all the good-for-you yumminess.

The Closet

This is our coat/storage/game closet.

The Kitchen Sink
.
This is actually pretty good. Dishes are just not high on my priority list.

The Toilet

This is the bathroom that we use most often and the one that the babies get into the most. That is the reason behind the missing role of toilet paper.

Favorite Shoes

I had to include 2 pairs. This one I just love because as on of my friends told me, they are very fashion forward. I love how I feel when I wear these shoes.

This is my second favorite and the ones that I wear the most often. They are comfortable, practical and easy to get on and off.
I guess you could say these 2 pairs of shoes represent the 2 sides to my personality.

What are the kids doing right now?
Hayden is watching TV, they babies are 'playing' while they toddle around the house following me as I go.


Favorite Room
My Kitchen. I love it, it is the center of the house and the room that I spend the most time in.

Laundry Pile
Thats not too bad.
Self Portrait
This is a collection of photographs in my bedroom. I just love this. I love looking at it and remembering when Hayden was a tiny baby (that is me and him on the left) and when the babies were first born (top right). This is what I am calling my self portrait, its me with my kids, my life.

Dream Vacation
My dream vacation would be go to go Paris and well, lets face it, I would love to tour all of Europe. It seems so amazing to me. The people, the history, the places, and the food. Oh, I want to go so badly. I can't wait.

Ok, now you. You try it and let me know in the comment section that you did it. It is kinda fun and I think is a way for people to learn a little more about you. So go on, try it, I DARE you.

Ok...you are waaaaayyy braver than I am. To just invite people over without tidying up...can't do it:-(

I do have to say that I want your kitchen!!! It is beautiful. I was thinking about going wood on wood (cabinets and floor) but I thought it would be too much. Clearly, it isn't. Although, your kitchen is better lite than mine:-( Anyway, I am green:-)

There is no way I am showing you the inside of my closet. PERIOD.

Oh, I love this meme. I am going to have to do it. Sometime :-) Soon. Probably.

And I love your shoes. The birkenstock ones. The others I would never get my fred flintstone feet into.

And thank you so much for visiting me on my Georgia day via BATW!

Diana said...

Great post! I am re-charging the camera battery as we speak....I love the self portrait pics!

Cristin said...

We have a toilet paper junkie around here too... turn your back and she's unrolled the whole thing!

I spotted your bottle of wine on the counter behind the sink....

What a great idea, I will be doing that one this week so come on by to see.

I love the pictures in the bedroom. They are so tender and we really get to see what you do with your day - love all those adorable kids.

Shannon said...

I don't know if I could do this one... to hard to resist the urge to clean-up beforehand! Maybe I'll do it one day after the house gets a good cleaning.

I am jealous of your spacious kitchen! My is a "galley" style and I hate it. I have no counter space at all.

Oh, and I love the 1st pair of shoes :)

Karen said...

Hmmmm. I may have to try this is few days. I will disclose now, I am no where near as tidy as you! I love the video of the kids. So cute. I also love, love the shoes and your home is gorgeous.

Unknown said...

Great idea, but there is no way I'm taking a picutre of my fridge/sink/toilet! I'd like to keep the mystery alive by everyone thinking I am a domestic goddess . . .

Britt said...

That is a fun one! I'll have to try it...

And if I had a kitchen like that, it would be my favorite room too!

Rhea said...

I love the two sets of shoes and your kitchen! Great photos!!!

Kelly said...

I loved this...I had never seen this one before...I think I'll save this one for later this week...I don't know if I could resist tidying up a little...my house is in constant disarray!!

I love those black and white pictures in your bedroom!!! They are GORGEOUS!!

You do have a great kitchen! My favorite shoes would be the Birks!!

Missy said...

Good Lord, woman! Is your kitchen always that clean? It is gorgeous though - so bright.
Totally relate to the MIA TP.
The portraits are too sweet.
I'm definitely doing this meme soon. You may not "speak" to me after you see the closet. Absolutely horrific.
