Why daily life with a toddler is MESSY: how one mum summed up...

We all know the struggle involved in keeping our homes tidy with kids running around...it's near IMPOSSIBLE.

The Son And The Moon, a blog about parenting by mum-of-one Abbey Michelle, recently posted a video that perfectly depicts the way we all feel when the house is a mess.

This is the story of how i was woken up this morning... It was approximately 6am and the book I am holding was thrown, at what I understand from the impact, to be very close range to my face. I was then forced to sit up and read said book immediately to prevent what was apparently a tantrum about to blow! He is very happy now looking at pictures of teddy bears eating "kiik" (cake). In truth, the book-in-face tactic is not my favorite way to be woken up, but the cuddles are nice. P.s. I literally tried every filter available, but nothing made me look better so just going with the all natural look of death-warmed-up!!

The short video opens with the statement "Ask a parent of a toddler why the house is always a state."

This is followed by a number of fantastic snippets into the chaotic life of Abbey and her young son.

After a day of playing and having LOADS of fun, we see the mum-and-son duo flaked out in their living room, un-bothered by the mess that surrounds them.
