I’ve become a big fan of soups made in the Pressure Cooker. It’s amazing. The flavor that comes out of that baby is awesome. It’s like you slow cook the soup all day but it’s ready in a half hour! Perfect for this Mom that doesn’t plan ahead much anymore. I made this awesome Taco Soup with hamburger and then I decided we should probably try one with chicken so this Chicken Taco Soup was born! It’s full of shredded chicken, corn, tomatoes and seasonings! Don’t forget the tortilla strips on top for a bit of crunch!

This week I went on my personal social media accounts and I posted a photo. That photo was me and the kiddos reading books before bedtime while they enjoyed their bedtime snacks. Miss K was on one side, Ry was on the other side giving me a kiss and Koert was right in Mom’s lap munching away on his graham cracker.

Sounds picture perfect, right?

Except it was far from it. I had this moment and I yelled to my hubs to take a picture because all my littles were right next to me and let’s be honest Mom is in a picture rarely around here. I’m guessing most of you experience this. We are the ones behind the camera way to often. I wanted to snap this moment up in a picture so I had it to look back on.

For once, the kids were happy, we were happy, the moment was sweet. There wasn’t a battle to battle or a kids to wrangle. You can relate right?

The hubs must listen well because when I asked he promptly dropped the bottles and milk he was making for Koert and came right over and took that picture.

So while I have my littles on my lap or next to me in this precious picture. Nothing else is to spectacular.

The hubs left the fridge door open.

The counter is full of crap.

The floor needs to be swept.

The back pack needs to be packed for the next day.

The bottles need to be made.

Pretty much, alllll the things need to be done. All the things.

But it’s real. It’s life. It’s my life.

I wish I was perfect. I wish I had a clean house. I wish all those things you probably wish, but it’s just not how it is. This is my life.

I’ve been down in the dumps because I saw a fellow blogger post a picture of her WHITE kitchen that was spotless. Her two children were on the counter making a treat in name brand, spotless clothes. They were posed. She was blonde. She had highlights. I’m pretty sure she just had her eyebrows waxed.

Get the picture?

I was jealous. I wanted that.

So I went out on a limb and posted this so everyone else that might have been in the dumps over something similar could relate. And you know what? I got comments like this –

“You are spot on! Thanks for keeping it real!“

“This is fabulous in every way. Thanks for sharing “normal” with us!”

“I think it looks wonderful!! Your kids will never remember when the house was clean, but they will remember all the special “mom time” they had!!”

People related. They got “it”.

I can assure you that other person’s comments were not “Oh, my life totally looks like this too” on her picture!

Social media has us all comparing things. Trying to live up. Trying to compete. It’s exhausting.

I’m guilty of trying to paint the picture of a perfect life too. You probably look at my staged food, staged videos and think, maybe I have it all together.

I don’t. It’s staged.

My life is a hot mess like many of yours. Trying to survive daily with three young children that NEED YOU ALL THE TIME. Right?

I love them.

I adore them.

But, dang they are a ton of work!

I hope when they look back on these moments or this picture they see a Mom that adores them. A mom that said screw the mess and read them a book. A Dad that was present assisting in the life that we were building together.

That’s what I hope they remember.

I also hope they remember us gathering around the dinner table eating on a daily basis. If there’s one thing I remember growing up it’s dinnertime. It’s when things were discussed. Bickering happened. The love was shown. I want to create that for my kids.

Sure a nice white kitchen that was picture perfect would be nice, don’t get me wrong. But right now that’s just not happening.
