Every day that goes by I’m learning to be a little bit more messy. Yes, I still need organization and some amount of cleanliness in my life but things are more fun when it’s messy! I never want Sophie to be denied fun because it’ll cause a mess or because she’ll get dirty. Kids are supposed to get dirty and most everything is washable or can be re-bought. I’ve known several people who’ve not let their kids do crafts or baking because it makes too much of a mess and it makes me sad. I want to be the type of mom that throws down a drop cloth and says ‘we’ll deal with it after the fun!’ Life is messy, so let it be messy.

That is the best food face that I have seen in a long time!
Haha! I let her have my ABC spaghettios and she LOVED it!
My sentiments exactly! Messes can be cleaned up, fun cannot be replaced!
This Tuesday Truth stemmed from your recent messy post! My heart was really heavy for you and it got me thinking about other moms that I know that CHOOSE to be not-messy and I just can’t understand it! I want to be able to look at this post if I ever think that way.
I think my cleanliness has worn off on my son though because sometimes he doesn’t like to get his hands dirty ;). Nevertheless, life is certainly messy, metaphorically as well!
HAH! Awwe! Soph’s been exploring textures on her hands but she’s never cried about them being messy yet. My husband was fine getting his dirty growing up but now he doesn’t like it!!
