I’m still here…we just have been having storm after storm. (We’re in Virginia) Laura Ingalls Wilder has nothing on us :) The kids have been to school for 3 hours in the past 2 weeks, and we’re all a little stir crazy, but I think we’re past the worst. I was unpacking a box of photo albums and I came across this quote by Lowell Bennion that used to hang in our first apartment. It brought tears and so many memories. It was exactly what I needed to hear, so I thought I’d share it with you, along with some pictures of the snow I’ve taken in the past few weeks:

Gather :
* a frame (this one is from Target dollar spot)
* some valentine paper, wrapping paper, or fabric (mine is from Michaels)
*some Scrabble letter tiles (you can find these at the Goodwill, on Etsy, or in your game closet)
*glue gun & scissors

 I thought I would share a moving plan that is kind of spiffy. Instead of writing what is inside the box all over the outside of the box, get yourself a notebook and designate it your moving notebook. Guard it with your life! This will be the place you put all of your moving info~receipts, phone numbers, house hunting info, to-do lists, etc. When you get in the car, you ask (in this order): where is the moving notebook?? Dramamine? dvd remote? camera? baby bottle? oh yeah, and my purse?”On the outside of the boxes, get these cool stickers that have the rooms on them or write LR (Living Room) and then number them.
