We’re all moms here, so we all know that life changes drastically once you have kids. Things we used to see and do are no more — such as the house staying clean, the laundry being caught up, and the dinner we fix being eaten. Sometimes it’s frustrating to find a wall being turned into an art canvas, but really if you don’t laugh you will cry, right? Here are some things I’ve noticed around my house lately that show we are living in kid city.
Superheroes run wild around these parts. Superheroes need Chapstick, too.
Lego men wait at the door for you.
The grossest of moments when you find this. {It’s not chocolate.} {Insert vomit here.}
Parking lots are everywhere, even at the end of the day when mama eats dessert alone.
More parked cars and Dr. Seuss books.
Booby traps are hiding everywhere. Including this very dangerous one in the fridge.
We get around in style and we don’t travel lightly.
Kids 1, parents 0 — we are the big losers here.
Grocery shopping with the baby requires caffeine. Can you tell who made requests for this grocery trip?
You know you have kids when this counts as a gourmet dinner.
Or you do get a good dinner, but you have to eat it standing up and bouncing the baby.
Everything gets taken off the fridge and the magnets get rearranged by little magic elves, also known as toddlers.
And if you’re looking closely, you might even find some very sweet snuggles around this place from the precious little ones who leave booby traps everywhere.

Look how perfectly you zig-zagged ketchup on that hot dog! I’m so impressed! That counts as gourmet to me!
