My life according to Pinterest

If I lived according to my Pinterest boards:

My house would be filled with natural light, colorful furniture, handmade slipcovers and quilts, wallpaper, and embroidery.

My kids would never hear a harsh word because I would have the 10 essential things to tell them memorized and at the ready for any situation.

I would give my friends handmade gifts wrapped in butcher paper and fabric twine (made from quilting scraps) with a witty hand lettered card attached.

My container gardens would keep us stocked all season with a variety of produce because I knew exactly when to plant the seeds I self started during the dreary months of winter.

Oh yeah, and my house would be sparkling clean (with just a little Dawn and white vinegar) and organized because my kids would do their age appropriate chores without a fight.

Instead I'm stuck with this:
