I'm going to let you know a secret. Whenever you see a picture of the residents of Boltonshire in the shire itself, there's a lot of effort that goes into the photo. Sure a lot of them may look like them are candid and snapped during the moment, but more than likely it was probably the sixth or seventh picture taken. Then even when it's the sixth of seventh picture, there's a lot of cropping going on.
The cropping is done so you can't see the mess in the background.
Sometimes the mess can be so bad and we need to take a picture of how absolutely adorable our kid is and we NEED TO SHOW THE WORLD via Facebook, we have to take a picture from the floor up. What happens then is the kid looks like they're about to do battle with the Power Rangers.
Now we don't want the mess there, and our kids are able to pick up after themselves. It's just when you have five kids you have seven people's worth of stuff.
Like the laundry.
My goodness, the laundry.
How I wish we lived in ancient Rome and we just wore our bed sheets.
So until I can perfect group time travel back to robe wearing Rome, the house will have some form of mess.
It's probably why My Dirty Jobs contacted me to help them in promoting their latest contest.
The following is from their contest promotional material
