Pink Saturday

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE pink, so when I saw this idea, I just had to participate. But, since almost everything I own is packed, I will have to keep it simple for now.This is my pink day planner, which I just cannot survive without. I am a little bit OCD and hyperventilate at the thought of living life without a planner or schedule or something, lol.And, yes, that is a pink pen which I use to write in my pink planner. I don't know if I mentioned this or...

Control

Wow, it's down to two weeks before moving day!!!! My appointment with the midwife was rescheduled for next week, which works out well because I just heard that we are showing the house yet again this evening. There isn't too much to do to get the house ready, at this point there isn't much left unpacked to make a mess, lol.Little Oliver has become so fond of the boys. He loves to be right in the middle of their playing, and in the afternoon he loves...

Busy Busy

Julia came today and was such a huge help. There was not as much of the "usual" cleaning for her to do, so she helped with things such as steam cleaning the carpets. She did all of the bedrooms today, and I think next week I will have her do the rest. I am just so thankful for her help!While she worked on that, I continued packing. At this rate I will definitely be finished ahead of schedule, but that is what I am hoping for :). There is still plenty...

Packing, Packing, and More Packing

Another busy day of packing around here. My friend Hannah came this morning to help me get some things done. We packed all of the kitchen decoratives, another set of dishes, miscellaneous things from the laundry room, yet another box of craft supplies, and family pictures. It is unbelievable how much "stuff" there is in this house.My goal is to get most of the packing done in the next two weeks so that I can rest a few days before the move. That...

It Should Be an Interesting Day

Julia is coming today. Usually she helps with the housework. I am not sure what I am going to have her do today since I cleaned the entire house on Wednesday and with the packing and such everything is just different right now. But I do enjoy having her company around the house and that is something I will really miss once we move.Adam is coming by later this morning to borrow our tiller. I need to pack but I will have to move all of the boxes in...

Showing the House and This and That

Yesterday evening a family came out to look at the house. I spent most of my day yesterday trying to get the house in order so that we could show it. It is so hard to keep things looking nice in the midst of packing! I took the boys out to dinner while Rick stayed behind to show the house.Later in the evening we sat around listening to music and I danced with my boys. They thought that was just ever so much fun. It was great to just relax and not...

Inspiration for My Next Craft Room...

I came across this picture the other day and just fell in love. I have always liked the combination of pink, green and white, and I thought this room was just full of feminine charm. I showed the room to Rick, and he agreed that it was just wonderful. So I think I am going to attempt to recreate the feel of this room in our new house.Happy Homemaki...

We are Moving!

We have found a new house and have a moving date. What a blessing!The new house is wonderful. It has a pool and a gazebo with a wet bar. The house is similar in size to our current house, although I like the use of space better in the new house, especially the master suite's sitting room and separate closets :). It is located in a lovely neighborhood, and all of the homes are on about 2 acres, so it is not crowded at all.There is much to do in order...
