July 2012 Remodelaholic, Month in Review

 

I’ve been meaning and wanting to do a  monthly review post for about a year.  I swear, I feel like the most unorganized girl EVER!  It has taken that long for me to be committed enough to do it.

 

I realize, I need to give myself a bit of a break.  I have young kids, and they need a lot of love, attention and time.  It is just funny, since we were married for 8 years without kids (infertility is SO hard!) – without kids I was able to do SO much.  I am not gonna lie, it was a bit of a shock how hard being a mom can be at times.  So honestly, lets give a shout out to the mom’s with young kids… that time where showering is a luxury, the house being clean is second priority, and diapers are a daily task that teach you compassion.

 

Okay lets get down to this.  I would love to be all cool and do themes for my reviews.  But  lets be realistic!   I am just gonna tell it like it is.
