The following image requires no explanation other than Dylan was VERY excited to go to Salt Lake to see her Grandma and Papa. So excited in fact that she drew life size portraits of them on the wall with permanent marker.

How is your week going?

Do you know what happens when you put up a Chandelier that has 23 lights in it?

They pretty much all go out at the same time.

I just got back from SNAP and it was INCREDIBLE!! I loved every single second of it! I will be posting a recap soon (because I didn’t bring a camera and am at the mercy of everyone else to post their pictures!!)

One thing that I think gets us down a bunch as wives and mothers and bloggers and humans is that we feel like everyone else has their crap together and we are the only ones with lives that are not as we imagined.

So this week I am going to give you a peek into my life. And you should be warned that you might not think I am as legit as you did before you started this post.

And guess what? I am 10000000000% fine with that.

So lets get on with it shall we? Also you should notice that I am starting this series on Wed. not on Mon. because….my life is crazy.

When you think of my living room you probably think of this image:

Right now I am in the middle of an overhaul. ANd when I say in the middle I mean that I have had it planned out in my mind for 9 months and moved all of the old stuff out but havent been able to get it going because guess what? It’s a little daunting. When I start painting in here it has to extend into all of the hallways and my kitchen. Sounds fun right? Especially the 12 foot ceilings…

So.

This is what my living room looks like today:

Oh yes. Just soak that up for a minute.

Notice the gray wall paint? That’s because I never painted behind the faux fireplace when I was in the time crunch for Nate.

Also please notice the dust on the fan,  the ladder that has been there for 2 weeks, the paint on the wall and the banana peel on the rug. Who wants to come and live with me now?

Be back tomorrow with more (I hope your stomachs can take it.)

Love  Your  Guts,  Mandi

Sometimes you have friends that are sweet and kind and don’t point out your flaws. And sometimes you have friends like Kimbo. Who leaves comments like this on your blog:

so…I was thinking of you (per the normal routine of my day) and was thinking..hmm…I have never seen your bedroom. Yeah. that’s right. I’m calling you on it. unless i missed it somewhere.>..i want to see!

So you may have noticed that I haven’t shared anything about my master bedroom on this blog.

That’s cause it’s a craphole filled with laundry.

Literally I avoid laundry like the plague.

Oh so you want to see?

Crap I cant believe that I am sharing this. Its worse than my high school prom pictures.

Does someone have a paper bag that I can hyperventilate into?

Here.

It.

Goes.

Do you love how the bed doubles as a hanger holder? It is also where we put clothes that we don’t want on the floor.

Our master bedroom is really big. It has nothing really awesome in it.

BUT.

Its about to get a makeover of EPIC proportions. Like Vintage Revivals Epicness x 7,000.

ARE YOU EXCITED!!???!
