The Perfect Life!!!

Lately I have noticed how much people compare themselves to others. Maybe it is impossible to not compare a little, but we (especially women) seem to do it way more than we should.

I think possibly the Internet has only made it worse. If you are around other mothers in person than you see the parts of their lives that are great and the parts that they struggle with. You also see and can talk with them to find out how they juggle their schedules and what things they sacrifice. Things like facebook only allow you to see part of a person's life. I have noticed that some people are very honest and share everything about their lives: good or bad and sometimes it is tmi! ;) Others like myself probably share the fun parts. I like to dwell on the good parts of my day and stay busy....now you probably don't see the part where I hate cleaning bathrooms (that would be boring) or the part where I struggle with missing out on playdates (I absolutely want to be at every single event and I beat myself up when I miss one). Others probably use it as a bragging tool...you know who you are. JK! And others seem so worn down and like they are struggling all the time. Facebook is an interesting place. I really do enjoy it simply b/c I love people!

So mainly what I am trying to get around to saying is that I wish that everyone would stop comparing themselves and really be happy with the great parts of their lives and accept the parts that aren't perfect as just that and it is okay!

Well I have to add a few pictures from my perfect life! :) Here are my beautiful kids all cuddled in bed! Don't they look perfect! You can tell that they never fight! Oh just ignore the claw marks on Valerie's pretty little face...no clue how those got there!

Oh and I only feed my girls healthy food...I would never give sweets before they turn one.....Oh wait, what happened to Daphne's face! I think that Lily and Valerie were very proud of giving her some FUDGESICLE! The first or second child never would have gotten this, but Daphne is very lucky to have big sisters! ;)

From one perfect mother to another, have a fun filled day!
