tagged!

I've been tagged, and this is kind of a fun one! As the rules go, you have to go take pictures right now, without cleaning up, dressing kids, etc. So here ya go, a typical morning here in our home.





Tag #1: My toilet..thank goodness it actually got cleaned yesterday.




Tag #2: My laundry room:


I sort the clothes and the kids put them all away. On a good day I even fold the laundry! Incidentally, we came home from vacation to a broken washer (that on top of a dryer that takes approximately 3 hours to dry a load). Anyway, we're having a new front-loader set delivered today! Not that we wanted to buy a new one this year, but as a mom of five I'll be grateful to do laundry FASTER!




Tag #3: My favorite shoes. Yep, I'm a heel-girl. Either that, or barefoot.





Tag #4: My fridge, which is mostly filled by the 9 gallons of milk I buy each week.


Tag #5: My kitchen sink. Is the blender ever NOT in my sink?

Tag #6: My closet, almost always a mess. I would consider it walkable today, though usually you can't even see the carpet. I just think every mom needs at least one junk drawer and a place to throw everything she doesn't want her kids to touch!

For the record, Tim's the tidy one around here. His closet is the single cleanest place in our house, keeping my world in balance!

Tag #7: My first-born. Adam is gone to scouts this fine morning, so we'll settle for my darling second-born, Joshua, still sleeping in at 9:30 in the morning. Can you tell we've been staying up late watching the Olympics?

Tag #8: A blurry pic of my cutie third-born, Thomas (still in his jammies).


Tag #9: What I'm listening to right now: the oh-so-fabulous Wicked! Has anyone else ever cried while listening to this music?

Ok, now I'm tagging Nancy, Kim, Wendy, Gretchen, and Ashlie.

Love your laundry organization. I am going to use yet another one of your great ideas.

Jessica said...

Who made up this tag?? On the one hand, it's an interesting idea to capture a regular day and break through the social persona people put on their blogs; on the other hand, it's kinda creepy (the toilet? seriously??).

I have almost that exact pair of patent heels, and they're my favorite, too!

Deborah said...

I am very impressed with all the baskets in your laundry room. You take the award for most gallons of milk for a family each week. Wow!

Tiffany, We came home to a broken washing machine, too! What did you buy? Holy cow - 9 gallons of milk a week?!!! -Amy V.

Tiffany said...

Clarify...I buy 9 gallons when I shop, which isn't exactly one time each week. We go through about one gallon a day, to be more accurate. Still, seven.

THanks Tiffany! I wanted to tell you that Haylee Bean photography is awesome. Her blog is hayleebean.typepad.com and we just got our fam pics done with her a few months back and loved them. She's quite reasonable too!

how fun! we are loving our new washer and dryer!!!!! it has really made laundry less of a chore! i love wicked and am with you on the constant going through milk!! we go use about 4 gallons a week. crazy! we would love to get together! let us know when you can!!

Gretchen said...

Yikes! I hope my house is clean...I'll do my tag tomorrow morning! This is fun! Sorry about your washer! Not a fun thing to come home too after camping for a week!

Tiffany, we'll see if this happens. Even if I cleaned all day my house still wouldn't come close to being as clean and tidy as yours. Brian's not a big fan of "tagging" either. I like the idea, but I'm with Jessica on the toilet. Creepy!

Julie said...

Tiff, I never, NEVER want to hear about how clean my house is! My house has completely fallen apart!

Emily said...

okay so your house is so organized! i love your huge closet and I seriously can't believe you buy that much milk! I buy a gallon every two weeks and it usually goes bad before we can use it all. We are not milk drinkers here. I love your laundry system. I can always tune into your blog for good ideas. I wonder if the twins can start putting away their laundry????

Julie said...

Just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to do a 15 min at a time clean up. Thanks. :)
