Maxabellaland: a further reality check

Magdalena over at The Craft Revival has revived my love of letting it all hang out on my blog. She's put the word out that today is the day to take a snap of our 'unworthy-of-a-magazine-shoot life' and show the world that the over-styled life is just an impossible dream / nightmare (depending on your fancy).

Last time I showed up that Cappers and her propensity to paint the carpet. This time Maxi-Taxi is exposed in all his boy-mess glory. Oh, okay, he's seven, she's five. It's really me that's getting exposed...

Exhibit A is above.

This is as made as the bed ever gets. I even have a tendency to pull back the covers after putting on fresh sheets so it's 'ready'.

Exhibit B

'The, um, bookshelf' 

Exhibit C

 This mess of awful looking brand merchandising is in fact Maxi's 'crash mat' area for his OT and it hangs around on the floor permanently like an extra unmade bed.  I would just like to point out that I have never in my life purchased an item of branded merchandise... so why do we have so much of it lurking distastefully around?

Exhibit C

 'Random paperwork (such that you have when you are seven).'

Exhibit D

 Cushion A: 'Hey Cushion B and C, I'll get back into position if you will' Cushion B: 'Nah, I can't even remember where I go.' Cushion C: 'Are you crazy, where's the fun in that?'

Ah, housework. I love you so.

What's your place looking like right now? Do you want to join in?

Pop over the Magdalena's. You just have to write a post or paste up some pickies. Be brave.

PS - This is my first time using Instagram and I kinda like it but I think I should have kept the images a bit smaller... can you even see them? If you can't, that's good news for me!

PPS - I will be adding some less obscure posts about my truckin' adventure after my Grateful moment this weekend. Missed you all very much (seriously, how wrong is that!?) x
