"Yes, I'd love it!
Come right in!!"
"A little farther. Don't be shy."
"What? What's that your whispering? A little louder please!
Oh yes, you say my kitchen's a mess..."
"and there's clutter all over the counters because there's no where to hide it!? Why yes.
It's true I tell you."
I know!! I have a predicament. I collect stacks and I can't keep my counters clean!!!
Please don't tell me I'm the only one with this quandary. It by no means is possible to hide my occasional confusion from humanity, and it in no form or fashion fixes the problem that my kitchen is connected to the living room.
It's a bummer.
I can't be a closet stacker...it's out in the public for all to see!!!
Ugh.
Unlucky me.
But if you're lucky by chance and come on a good day you might see the actual color of my counter top...
ahhhhh. A breath of fresh air. "Oh. What's that you say?
The fridge?"
"Yup. That's a separate matter."
(yes I think it is tacky to decorate a fridge!)

I have the EXACT same issue. Kitchen stacker. If I put it away, I forget about it! What a quandry!
Your issues are MY issues. Only, yours look far cuter. My fridge is just messy and ugly with old idiotic magnets. And don't get me started on my countertops. Or my window seat that is NEXT to the countertops.... or my silverware drawer. Oy. It never ends.
I like that you're real. It's refreshing. Who wants to be a stuffy perfectionist anyway? Not me.
I am freakish about Lysol-ing my countertops, so they're technically "clean," but I too cannot stop the piles that seem to just gather and somehow multiply every day. Sometimes I put a pile on one of the bar stools and pretend it's not there, but I swear, the junk never goes away!
Countertops are cleared and sterilized daily....instead I have junk drawers. And piles that end up in boxes to sort but they never get sorted. Sometimes I consider not sorting and just disposing without looking but can't bring myself to actually do that.
I love your big windows in your house and how much LIGHT you get streaming into your home. Which is beautiful by the way. I'd visit in your kitchen--cluttered counter tops or not.
Oh and I loved your Adoption Profile letter. Very well written. I hope your waiting is short and your baby comes soon. My prayers are with you.
Seriously, wouldn't it be so fun if we could visit each other and all our friends and travel around in a matter of seconds! I really did feel like I walked into your house! I love that you are so real and showing us daily life in your kitchen!! Cleared off counters are a fresh breath of air to my soul! My laundry room is pretty crazy/messy probably 6/7 days of the week. My bedroom is somewhat a wreck because I would rather toss my clothes on the floor instead of walking them all the way back to my closet to hang them up! Am I the only one?
My countertops are fairly clean...
Just DON'T look in the drawers!! I am a stuffer.
I hate stuff on the counter so I stuff it in drawers. I hate it!!
My kitchen is SO much worse then yours, although my fridge is not quite as bad. ;-) You're so cute.
clutter. The fact that you have it only makes you more interesting and perfect in my eyes...
I love that you are so real!
LOL! I can relate! We have mail ALL OVER our kitchen table and coffee table in our living room too! We like the pay the bills while watching TV and it is ALWAYS a mess! I also have a problem of letting dishes pile up in my sink. I have no excuse for that because it's just the two of us here but since we're being honest, I thought I'd share!
Your house is beautiful by the way! I LOVE the way you've decorated!
I WISH I could decorate my fridge with cute artwork and pictures like you but alas, mine's not magnetic. And your house is NOT messy or dirty, just lived in... that's much more homey.
Oh, I get 'piles' as my husband calls them, but he can't stand them so I have to keep them out of his sight. That means....they go in a drawer until I can sort/deal with them. =)
