Keepin it real part 2

Remember I am an amateur blogger, so please read the post below this first to understand what this one is about.

My husband. Home on labor day, and cute as ever!

My boys, home on labor day, playing video games while the sun is shining outside!

Eva napping, so cute!

Harmony is deep cleaning the kitchen....for fun. What did I do to be blessed with her? Thank you Grandma Newman for passing on the cleaning genes.

I also had a picture of my laundry room but it got lost in the shuffle. "keepin it real"! I find my self more and more like my mother everyday. The good thing is I am more ok with that than I ever was.

Keepin it real tag

So my sister-in-law Kristi tagged me weeks ago to do this Keepin it real tag. The object of the tag is to take pictures of things as they are right in the moment. (I did do that) and then.....post them to your blog. So in the spirit of the tag "keepin it real" Here I am 2 weeks after I took the pictures actually posting them. That is "real" Cherish. The other real part of it is that I missed 3 of the picture subjects; my fridge, my favorite shoes, and a pic of me. I missed them and I am not going to worry about it. Just keepin it real!

My toilet, luckily you can't see the bowl real well, but do take note of Eva's handi work on the toilet paper. That is Charmin too!

My sink honestly usually looks better than this, but it always does look like this on Monday mornings! Especially the pans, my darling husband is soo good about cleaning up after I cook, but the pans are invisible to him.

My closet. I cheated and showed the good side.

My favorite room. My bedroom, I love, love, love my bed!
