picture me {im}perfectly.multi-tasking

(now if only my bathroom looked this bright and sparkly up close)

generally, my days are pretty fuzzy.


it's plain and simple.
i (try to) do
too many things at the same time.


what i convince myself that i'm doing 
is getting a lot of things finished at the same time

where in reality 
i am just slowing down the process 
of completing even one task.




whether it's 
drinking a cup of coffee (more on that later)





or driving


or reading




or thinking
(this could be an endless list).




if my body is not trying to complete another task, 
my mind is. 




but when i stop and just do one thing at a time, 
my day becomes much more clear.

taking pictures doesn't count as doing 
more than one thing at a time, right?
yeah, i didn't think so.


be sure to stop on by
my sweet friend, Raeanne's blog.
(isn't this a cute picture of the two of us?)
the post that she linked up last week really moved my heart.

picture me {im}perfectly
is a weekly project to reveal that we don't have it all together.

i will post a 
picture me {im}perfectly
blog post every wednesday 
where you will be able to link up to your blog
revealing that:

you are not picture perfect,
your kids are not picture perfect,
your house is not picture perfect,
your crafts are not always picture perfect,

let's 
encourage, 
inspire and 
remind 
other women 
that none of us have it all together.  

add my button to your blog post
and link up to your direct posting
and feel encouraged.

nakie baby.



a sweet friend of mine from CBS
was getting her credentials in massage for kiddos.
and she was kind enough to bless us with her five week class. 


(i absolutely adore this shot)


you could say that now i am an expert.
well, L thinks so, at least.



he has been sleeping so much better with a bath 
followed by a massage.
i just think he is trying to be
as high maintenance and time consuming as possible. 
congratulations, L. 
you are succeeding.


so, we (i.e. i) are now starting our 
night-time routine promptly at 4:15pm.
yes, that is in 4:15 in the afternoon.
it's wild.
but it works.
and we all know us moms will do anything that works. 



as you can see, 
my delicious baby just adores to be in his diap (or nakie)
and have some mommy and L time.
