Martha Stewart Watch Out

Martha seems to have it all together. She keeps everything neat and tidy. Everything looks catalog ready with crisp colors and clean designs. I am sure if you walked into her house, it would resemble something between a Stepford wife dwelling and a Pottery Barn catalog. Well, watch out Martha, here I come. I would first like to showcase my leather/suede tan and brown couch. This stylish couch comes scented with spoiled breast milk with spit up stains to match! Cozy, brown and cream corduroy pillows are embroidered with pee markings and milk vomit. Rich, cherry wood nightstand is also being showcased. This stunning piece boasts milk, ring marks stained from baby bottle nightly feedings. And wait, there's more! Sandy color, texture carpet is versatile and pleasing to the eye. The slight shimmer of little boy urine squirts complements a room for casual living.

Let's be honest. I have never been one to "over clean and organize". Let's just say, that has not been one of my "stronger points" in life. Although, I have grown in that area! Just ask my husband. I learned throughout my two years of marriage that if I want to make my husband happy and peaceful, I will provide a clean sanctuary for him to come home to. Now, I'm not saying that I do this every day or that I have mastered the art of housekeeping. Clearly, I have not. But, I do know that if I am striving to improve myself every day, that is what matters. While I appreciate cleanliness, I wouldn't trade one moment with my son for fancy furniture. My husband and I  will take our soiled furniture any day, because baby Isaac is worth more than all the Better Homes and Gardens showcases put together.

  1. Your priorities are so completely right! You can always make your home look like a pottery barn catelog, but you can never get this time back with sweet baby Isaac :)
