I am taking the liberty of cheating a wee bit in this week's My Place & Yours, the theme is "Through the front door" & well.... as what is through my front door is, quite frankly, a depressing scene of chaos, I thought I would modify it to "In front of the front door".
The 'theme queen' for this week is Femme De Montmartre, and I think that my take on it does capture some of what she describes for her theme;
"What is it you see when you enter your home? And how do you
feel? "
You do not, I am sure, want to see a dumping ground of all sorts of whatnots & strewn toys & clothes... I think a lot of other mothers see that sight or one very similar every day & wish not to be reminded of it... is that not why we are perusing blogs this morning instead of cleaning up...?! And you certainly don't want to know how I feel about it!
So I thought I would share what I see when I make it to my front door after a rare & welcome trip off on my own. Le Punk. Of course.
Messy, pants-less & enthusiastic. All results of "Daddy & Punk time". How do I feel when I come home to.... this?!
Like my heart just might burst. (That could also be to do with falling off my bicycle exhausted after cycling my not very terribly fit self about town in the heat...)
I would also like to officially petition that this theme be repeated a year or so from now, I thoroughly intend to have my very own front door then, painted red, to share & gain envious stares from you all....!
How lovely :) Good take on the challenge
ReplyDeleteTo leave them, even for a few hours, is so difficult.
ReplyDeleteBut to come home to them is simply the happiest moment of your life - every time :-)
Thanks for sharing!
what an adorable sight to behold..
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty lovely smile to come home to! Who cares what the door looks like when you have that kind of welcome? So sweet xo
ReplyDeleteMy house sounds a bit like yours, ugh the dumping ground, I love your take on the theme and I've said it before but I'll say it again...she is the cutest!
ReplyDeleteOH HOw super CUTE ... don't feel shy about what's behind your front door ... that's life and looks like yours is blessed ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the theme.. Through my front door sounds alot like yours... LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteTake Care
Jodie :)
That photo is ace. I have nothing further to say.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sight to be greeted with when you come home, she is so happy.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolute sweetie pie! No wonder your heart is fit to burst :)
ReplyDeleteOh golly gosh! Look at that little pumpkin! She's the complete bees knees! xx
ReplyDeleteI have a red front door! Jealous? It’s fantastic and opens onto a red feature wall. But don’t envy too much, once you are past the entry way our house also houses mountains of stuff, toys, clutter and mess.
ReplyDeleteThose big smiles and excited kisses are just the best to come home too.
a wonderful take on the theme! inside my front door is pretty boring really ~ a hallway. Might have to set up my own interpretation too!
ReplyDeleteAn absolute sweetie!!! It's been so long since mine were so little. Enjoy her while you can and forget the mess!!!
ReplyDeletei chose not to partake in this theme because of the mess in my house, but the kids - yes, they're the best!
ReplyDeleteHa - what a gorgeous site to come home to! Much sweeter than a boring red door!
ReplyDeletefantastic! i absolutely hear you 100% on the toys strewn everywhere and how it makes you feel. (i took my photo super early in the morning to avoid that very thing!!) i loved this post.
