Keeping it all together....

well ...sort of...
I've been looking at a lot of crafty blogs of late, and what I'm noticing is not only how talented people are, but how they 'keep it all together'...
Photos often depict 'not a hair out of place' , so to speak...and this led me to thinking about the 'modern day dilemma'....
Often we mums feel the need, conscious or not, of being 'seen' as holding it all together...we cook, we sew, we make lovely things, raise well balanced children and sometimes look ok ourselves.
Well, I just wanted to say, that sometimes...its not about keeping it together...things get out of place, hairs stand on end, meals arent always perfectly balanced ...and thats ok ! I'm not a perfect mum...Im perfect for my children, but by no means not flawed...its the human condition...
So heres too unmade beds, clothing yet to be put away, a meal of soba noodles and tamari, and being human!
Happy human being-ness x
