It must look something like this:
Kind of heavenly. Pristine. Not in the least defiled by poop or vomit.
I’m pretty sure I’ll never be able to pull off anywhere near this much white ever again.
And yet… I might be ridiculously happy. I might feel like my heart will burst every time I look at my handsome boys.
I might have the most awesome life ever right now.
I’m working my way back into blogging but it may be slow going for a bit, distracted as I am by googly eyes and tiny toes.
I should probably admit that I am also distracted by constant cleaning of the aforementioned poop and vomit.
Tiny babies aren’t easy, but damn if they aren’t adorable x infinity.
Anyhow, I hope you all have a magical long weekend filled with lake parties, sunburns, and hangovers.
Know that I am with you in spirit.
Happy Labor Day!

Dear Erin,
I’m so glad you’re happy. Babies are awesome <3 even though they are very puke-y.
I was wandering where is Karly? Is she alive? Can you prove it?
That white room leaves me cold — and virtually snowblind.
I’m certain your beautiful boys are a much more heart-warming sight.
Wishing you all kinds of joy . . .
That bedroom is beautiful, but I could never keep that much white clean and I don’t even have kids yet!
You know I love this post!!!
Soak it all up…it goes by too quickly. Have a great weekend, glad to hear all is going well!
Good to hear from you, Sorry about the puke. Glad that you are having a great time with the beautiful boys, even though I do miss your posts.
I too was wondering about Karly’s where-abouts.
so happy you are happy!! I agree whit is overrated too. The question is when will vomit yellow and poop brown come back in style?
Little wee ones are so adorable and so worth it. I personally hate that all-white room (even if I didn’t have kids). Too sterile. Blah. Enjoy your time with your boys!
Yay post! Of course I’m seeing it a week later, but whatever.
And adults would mess up white like dat too. C’mon.
Yeah, I have a hard time convincing my childless friends that kids are actually worth all the trouble.
I like to think that children and/or pets are the reason I can’t have all white everything but that’s a huge lie. It’s totally me.
I do like white but that is slight over kill…looks like a room the White Witch from Narnia would sleep in. I too am surrounded by nappies and poop at the mo but wouldn’t change it
Awright- enough of this baby stuff. Let’s decorate! I had my kids a few years ago (they’re 4 and 6) and now I am in a decorating groove. I love your blog because your budget is about as small as mine, your tastes and mine are similar, and you are about as indecisive as I am- not to mention that i love your irreverence. I hope that you recover from the new baby-itis soon and start throwing paint at the wall- I miss your posts.
In my home I have all-white furniture and burn-your-eyes out colors on the wall and paintings that are Mexico bright. It works. The white furniture is plastic (Verner Panton S Chairs) or leather, which are both easy to wipe off with a damp cloth. I have kind of a modernism meets craft theme going on and the white furniture is for the grown-up tastes, and all the color is for the kids- it makes the space fun for both age groups.
This post just heightened the intensity of my baby fever. I want to play with tiny toes!
I always imagine I would step in this room and say, “So pretty and pristin–holy crap I’ve gone blind! I can’t see anything!” And then smash all the furniture with my flailing and end up exhausted in a heap behind the bed.
I just cleaned poo off of a white couch-futon-stupid-thing today! Hooray for puke & poo, boo for white furniture. Enjoy the toes.
In this household, we went from puke and pooh to massive amounts of dog hair. I don’t think we’ll ever live ‘clean’ again! We live with drop clothes on the sofa and lint rollers in every drawer. But so worth it.
So glad to read your posts Erin!! So happy for you and your fam.
