Dahl's: I'll Take That Dare Mel...

Friday, March 12, 2010

And I double dog dare the rest of you!

Let's just get the most horrifying ones done right from the get go.

I will begin Spring Cleaning Monday and this is my first project.

Wish me luck!

Catch-all and soon to be Maleen or Marcu's Room (haven't decided yet)

Playroom

Need I say more?

It looks worse in the pictures I swear!

I had to throw these ones in for my own self-esteem!

Yes, Maleen and Hazel emptied out half the wipes, all the diapers and most of the shoes.

WOW!

Isn't the point of a play room to keep the mess in one place?

Yes that is a bouncy chair and a shot gun on my bathroom counter.

Doesn't everyone keep those on hand in the bathroom?

Yes, I was blog stocking when I happened upon Mel's Dare.

Why you may wonder when my house looks like this?

I'm asking myself that same question right now!

Julie said...: No, I will be the one to throw some on that will help your self-esteem, Kate!! Trust me, the day is coming.; March 12, 2010 at 11:23 PM

Favorite Adoption Quotes

A Birthmother puts the needs of her child above the wants of her heart.
When you honor the birth family, you honor the child.
By choice, we have become a family, first in our hearts, and finally in breath and being.
We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It was not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life to this child.
Time and experience have taught me a priceless lesson, any child you take for your own becomes your own if you give of yourself to that child.
If a child is born and raised in family that is loving and nurturing, where there is complete truth about who we are, you can't give a child any greater place from which to fly.
