I can't seem to get my crap together, but dang it, I can write a blog post and comment to my blog friends pretty consistently. (Only in the summer...)It sounds like you're doing a great job to me. Experiential learning is just as important as all that other hubbub.

Most days, I don't even do the dishes. Laundry takes daysss to complete. Trying to keep up is exhausting! Why do we push ourselves to overachieve via the world of the Internet??? <br />I like this post!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075708535155080258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635135272604595995.post-55402425253285689402012-07-11T22:24:03.594-04:002012-07-11T22:24:03.594-04:00I needed to read this post today.

I'm just now realizing that I don't have to be perfect in other's eyea.

And if that's the case, then they may be smiling the biggest fake smile you've ever seen - but they're miserable inside. You just can't do it all. Nobody can. <br /><br />My house is often messy. I am just TOO TIRED after work to do anything but sit & veg. On the weekend - that's when i try to get my house back in order. And all i can think is - what's it going to be like when i'm a mom???? I don't even want to think about that! B/c i am kind of already out of control! <br /><br />You're doing great. Sounds like you're the best kinda mom out there! :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815407660365883762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635135272604595995.post-67662612322906400012012-07-11T19:35:14.955-04:002012-07-11T19:35:14.955-04:00I want to copy and paste this on my blog!

I am the same way you are - I'd much rather spend time with my daughter than make sure every inch of my house is clean (or just one room...). <br /><br />Oh and my daughter plays Doc McStuffins on me too. :)A Babbling Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195220452833336198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635135272604595995.post-33418356238204683942012-07-11T17:47:16.196-04:002012-07-11T17:47:16.196-04:00You are a great mom Kate!
I think the thing about...You are a great mom Kate!<br /><br />I think the thing about pinterest is that no one mom is doing all those things. They are doing the thing that they are good at... people find it and pin it. And then people go crazy pinning the kind of mom they WANT to be (which doesn't exist) and they never actually do any of those things.<br /><br />But yeah... one person is baking the pies... because baking is what they do. One person is cleaning their house because that's what they do. One person is making awesome crafts and gifts because that's what they do.<br /><br />Me? I crochet hats while my kids nap or go play. You... you run a business. <br /><br />A clean house does not mean a good mom... it just means a clean house. :) And my house is currently verrrrry far from clean!<br /><br />Keep being awesome Kate!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347423808769328753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635135272604595995.post-59618084331418282272012-07-11T17:32:24.147-04:002012-07-11T17:32:24.147-04:00I failed at Pinterest mom YEARS ago.
