What kid can resist playing in a box? Addison found that the moving boxes were fun to play in.

Making a House a Home

We are finally moved into our new home. We moved on December 8. I have spent the last twelve days from morning to night unpacking boxes and trying to get things organized.I can’t remember a time I’ve been so exhausted. Even though I got rid of lots of things beforehand I’ve discovered I still have too much stuff. This house has three less rooms than the previous house so the purging continues. It’s amazing how much we can accumulate. Our new motto needs to be, “Simplify.”  On top of unpacking, I’ve also managed to decorate for Christmas. It’s starting to feel like home. This week I think I can finally get back to a more relaxed routine. The only thing left to do is wrapping presents and a little baking. I hope to post some pictures of the our new home this week, so keep watching.

Tis the Season to……

Decorate or Undecorate?
Normally I’d be decorating for the holidays. I love making the house festive, but instead this is what I’m doing…
Moving day is next Wednesday. Every room in the house has a stack of boxes in it. The craft room has been packed, so there hasn’t been much creative going on including blog writing. The only room left to pack is the kitchen. I guess we will either be eating out or eating on paper plates for the next few days. I have been taking breaks in between packing and have managed to finish the Christmas shopping and also get my Christmas cards and newsletter prepared. 
For someone like me with a Type A personality, this is the hardest part, but I’m looking forward to getting settled into our new home. One of the advantages of this move is we will only be about 15 minutes away from these two little cuties.
