So, Miss Lindsey, does this mean there will be more? I know grandma & grandpa Whitlock would love it!

Arthur misses Reed. He looks at pictures, points, says a bunch of stuff I don’t understand, and smiles a lot. Truthfully, I miss home, too….

I probably would have agreed with this list in my mid twenties. However, as the years progressed I’d have to say, numbers 1,5, 6, and 9 came roaring back!

I sadly agree with most of this. Minus thrill rides and swings. Still love those.

I cannot tell you how much I love this.
I’m inspired to look at the New Year completely differently.

You and your little ones, and my other friends who are parents of small children, have been so big in my head and heart since yesterday. Love you very much.

Comment on perfection by lindsey

I totally get that! I’m the opposite when it comes to tidiness (I wish I wasn’t!). Try as I might, I don’t notice the little messes (that I am at fault for as much as the kids) that add up to chaos until it is too late and I have to spend most of my evening tidying up. My parents used to joke that they could tell where I was in the house by the absent minded trail of water-glasses and shoes.

I’m so the same way, some things make me go crazy until they’re perfect, others I am much more relaxed about.

I’d say I’m more of a perfectionist when it comes to cooking and baking. I try to google images for how things should look at different steps if I’m not sure, and I’ve been known to complain that the perfectly delicious cookies are shaped funny. I’m also a perfectionist about being tidy, not necessarily clean. I will make sure there aren’t books left around or clothes on the floor every day, but we only scrub down the floors and really give a good dusting every few weeks.

I’m more relaxed about decorating the house. I know our tree isn’t magazine perfect, but I love it anyhow, and it’s beautiful the way it is. Same with the pictures and other pieces we have throughout the house. No one will be knocking down the door to photograph it anytime soon, but it feels like home and doesn’t look plain, and that’s all that matters to me.
