Do you know how hard it is to actually photograph finger marks on the windows??? Well this is my attempt to do so and of the finger marks on the paint work around the door. Even though every time I walk past the door and shudder at the mess, I also love it because it is a reminder that I am privileged to have lovely little ones living at home with me.
This photo is my contribution to Kate’s Perfectly Imperfect Life Challenge. Kate was inspired by a couple of posts, one of which was from Squigglemum where she talks about how each blogger chooses to post different parts of their life and that blogging represents a small part of the whole person’s life.
I thought this would be a great opportunity to make it perfectly clear that I am not perfect! My life has moments of chaos, grumpiness, exhaustion, failed attempts and forgetfulness. My inspiration for many of my posts comes from those “a-ha” moments when after a number of times of not getting things right, it all comes together.
Parenting to me is a journey. I will take wrong turns, get stuck in traffic jams, go around in circles and sometimes be lucky enough to be on cruise control. What I post on Planning With Kids is more of the cruise control moments. I post these moments because I want to share what has worked for us as a family, to hopefully save someone else from going around in circles!
Head on over and see Kate’s gorgeous photos to accompany her Perfectly Imperfect Life Challenge and see who else is joining in.

Think I’ve got little finger marks to rival yours! How come at 11 months my baby boy has already learnt to do blowfish on the glass doors…? Are little boys born with that inclination?! LOL
Thank you for sharing your imperfect bits. You always seem to have life so together! Love your blog and all your posts
Yeah dirty windows are very hard to photograph.. even those as dirty as mine!!
thanks for joining in!
I love your fingermarks!
I have a small decorative mirror (relatively high up) in my bathroom. I walked in one day last week to see the most disgusting handprints (four of them) smeared all over it. When gently inquiring what the heck happened, it turned out it was the nine year old playing with steam after her shower!
Ah, you wait until you see my mirrors and then you can say you have finger marks!

I hear you! I have 3 little ones AND a puppy – and basically at least 50% of perimeter of house is floor to ceiling glass!! I cleaned my windows for the first time in a YEAR last weekend – my house looks – BRIGHTER!! Shouldn’t leave it that long, but you know, LIFE gets in the way
ahhh .. finger marks … in my oldest sons room it is footmarks up the wall .. because he reads his book with his feet up there ..
We had a visitor on the weekend just gone, who’d never been to our place before. I wiped walls, doors, wherever I saw a print, I spray and wiped.
Sitting with a cuppa in the afternoon, I look at the door to the room and there it is – more blooming fingerprints! Gah! Not even an hour later….. I give up!
Hmm – yes – the dirty fingermark phenomenon. I am sure there is a little finger print monster lurking everywhere in my house!
