Real Life – Mamas

I don’t know if you guys have seen the quote (Suzie’s Daily Quotes) below on facebook, but it’s SO true!
A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife’s car was open, as was the front door to the house and no sign of the dog, walking in the door, he found …an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall, In the front room the TV was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a novel… She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, ‘What happened here today?’ She again smiled and answered, ‘You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?…
”Yes,” was his incredulous reply..  She answered, ‘Well, today I didn’t do it.’ 
We give a lot of credit to the stay at home mamas out there!  Staying at home is probably one of the hardest things….sometimes we think it’s harder than being an auditor or an interior designer (our jobs before we became photographers)!  You need to have patience and all your attention and time is on your kids.  Sometimes we feel selfish for wanting to be on the internet real quick or edit a picture real quick, but your kids will let you know when it’s time to get off those things.  From our experience, how your morning goes is how the rest of your day will go 😉  If the morning goes well, dang maybe it’s okay to go to the store with the kids today!  Ha!!  The house is ALWAYS a disaster…the laundry is never ending…the dishes are already piled up after lunch time…cleaning up toys is an all day thing…and MAYBE you’ll eventually look in the mirror and see how nasty you look 😉  Sweatpants and hoodies is your normal attire, hair in a ponytail/bun, and most of the time you have no makeup.  The husband and kids have no complaints on how we look and that’s all that matters! 😉

Went and saw @hamiltonmusical at the @dsmperforming Civic Center last night! I have to admit, I usually fall asleep at a musical, but dang I was all in for this one!  They’re so talented and now I want to go watch it again 🙌🏻. Now I understand the hype! The top I’m wearing and also in my summer dining post is 50% off! To shop this image, go to the link in my bio and select “shop my Instagram.” You can also find me on the @shop.ltk app! @ceciliamoyer

Life got extra busy this year when my youngest Sebastian started sports.  Going from 3 kids in activities/sports to 4 kids was a huge change for our us!  #ad I spend a lot of my time driving them around, and I’m so glad as a #WalmartPlus member, I can save up to 10¢ per gallon at Exxon and Mobil gas stations, select Walmart and Murphy gas stations, and Sam’s Club locations across the country.  You just sign into your Walmart+ account on the @Walmart app, enter your fuel pump number, select your grade, and start fueling! 

*Fuel discount varies by location & station, subject to change

So thankful for these four!  They complete me, and I’m so glad God picked me to be their mom.  Johannah was begging for another one while we were at church this morning… 😬🙅🏻‍♀️😬 Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there!!

My youngest that’s in Kindergarten reminded me today that he has 3 more weeks of school left.  I have mixed emotions about this.  HA!  ;-)  #ad During the summer, it’s nonstop snacking, and I’m glad I have a membership to the Walmart+ program!  My favorite part is their free same-day delivery on fresh, high quality groceries at the same low prices as in store ($35 order minimum. Restrictions apply).  I don’t have to spend time out of my day going to the store, but instead, stay in my house and order my groceries through the Walmart app.  I signed up for the Walmart+ membership in 2020, and there are no regrets!  More info on the blog by going to the link in my bio! #WalmartPlus @walmart

I didn’t feel like editing a reel, so here’s a candid night time view… :-) Bash and I were kicking a soccer ball back and forth, and GiGi went outside to go to the bathroom. I don’t know where everyone else went 😂. (Outdoor lanterns from @primo_lighting_international )

I am loving all the spring pieces from the Free Assembly line at @walmartfashion !  #ad Most of the time you'll see my kids wearing athletic clothes, so I like how these pieces are stylish and comfortable!  So many fun spring colors, and you can never go wrong with a stripe pattern.  It gives any outfit a more preppy/dressed-up look. Check out the blog for links and more images!  #FreeAssembly #WalmartFashion
