Keepin' It Real

I've been told by countless friends that I should blog about what life is like with my wild rascal kids, silly and sweet hubby, and our naughty pups who are always right there waiting to score a dropped scrap of food. Well, here it is...the blog about life with a homeschooled preteen son, a daughter with special needs, and a Jack...because there is literally no other way to describe my four year old son...he's just Jack. You'll see what I mean. 

I have a horribly neglected "business" blog for my crafts and such, but this is pretty much just going to be what goes on in my day to day life and all of our ups and downs and all consuming craziness. 

I debated starting this, because honestly why would anyone want to read my nonsense about couponing and potty training and random side projects...but in a way I think it's important to have "real" blogs to read. Blogs where the pictures aren't staged, and they're taken with your iphone not your $67,000 camera that you sold your firstborn to afford. I love reading blogs, but I often feel like they don't apply to me, because I don't live in the gorgeous seven bedroom seaside home, and my house is the opposite of immaculate, and I don't have the time or the patience to fret over whether or not that box of fruit snacks my kid is screaming for is organic or not. I'm a regular person, living in a regular three bedroom house, with regular sticky faced whiny kids. I bake cakes from a boxed mix, there are corn dogs in my freezer, my kids watch tv, and having all my laundry clean, folded, and put away will never happen. Ever. So, if you're a regular 'ol mom and you would like to read about some real life struggles and successes instead of feeling like a pinterest fail (because I am the Queen of pinterest fails!), I hope you'll follow along and have a laugh with me while we get through this parenthood thang.
