Hope in Impressions

So. I was talking with my friend, about false impressions. Especially on social media and how it gives people a false impression on how parenthood or life for that matter really is. I am guilty of making my life seems like roses. But..

This for example. Really? Like let's cut up some fruits and vegetables, giggle, and love everyone. 

This is more of an accurate example of "snack" time at our house. 

Or these kind of pics.

Then there is me. #blowoutsfordays

Or this after a night of no sleep..

What the internet doesn't show you.It doesn't show you how crappy (literally) it can be. I mean lets be honest. It's a good day if I shower.. Or put pants on. 

In a matter of a month. Susie got hand foot mouth (worst name ever btw.), then I got hand foot mouth, had a death in the family, got bit 283939 times while

Nursing, all three of us got colds, and Susie had the runs for 2 weeks.

Sorry to be blunt. But here is the thing. There aren't filters in life. With all that being said. I love my train wreck, messy, shower-less days.

Behind the B.O. is a girl who is doing her best. Under the dirt on my tile floor from my husbands boots is a smiling husband no matter how long his day was. And between those cries in the middle of the night is a baby who has to hold my hand to fall asleep.

I am here to tell you that. 

1. You are doing a fantastic job.

 2. That you are enough.

The other day, my Susie Jo was laughing her head off at me. I looked around at my house. Toys everywhere and dishes in the sink. I couldn't help but think. "This is what it's all about." I am so happy. I love being a mom and wife even though I feel like a fail most days. It's so worth it. Don't give up on yourself and try not to compare. Let hope and love take over and your life will be so beautiful. #nofilterneeded
