Real Life

I've been thinking about this little blog a bit recently and what I'd like it to be. It is primarily somewhere that I want to document my everyday life, to look back on in years to come. It's also a bit of a baby book for Elliott and a place to write about all his little milestones.

You know, first time he peed in his own eye, first time we dropped him (joke!..that hasn't happened..yet) etc. I really do want to stay true to myself though and be honest. The monthly sophie photos are gorgeous but most of the time Elliott doesn't look so serene and the house is never as tidy as the clean blanket he's lying on.

In light of my new quest to keep it real I took some photos yesterday of everyday stuff. Some of my faveourite photographers, artists and poets are the ones who are able to make boring things seem amazingly beautiful and extraordinary. One day I'd love to be able to do that but for now here are some boring photos, ha.

Still in my PJ's in the afternoon

'Real' morning me! No makeup, messy hair, crooked glasses!

Beautiful roses from the garden!

Messy (but used!) craft space

More lovely roses

Dirty dishes. I hate washing up, enough said.

 I'm off to enjoy the lovely sunny day! They seem to be very rare this summer.

Have a lovely day!
