Motherhood is an amazing experience and I wouldn't give it up for the world. However, I would be lying if I said that it didn't completely change your life. This Monday morning, I thought I would take a funny  look at how some things looked before and after motherhood.

    I had to laugh out loud at that one. Too funny, and too realistic.

    Funny though, I could do the same type of post, only add in after kids. You could almost put up the same before image again.

    Definitely worth a tweet and sharing to all my friends on Stumbleupon!

    Some day I will reclaim my living room April. :) Although it looks nothing like the after picture if truth be told and my laundry is down to less than a load at the moment lol.

    Hil'Lesha, to be fair, I was never much of a hair and makeup girl, but I am trying to get better.

    The biggest difference for me was the loss of quiet time. Of course I would not trade by four little ones for all the quiet time in the world but I sure do miss it at times.
