every day: September 2013

30 days september

Hello! So, I decided that since I’ve taken most of the summer off from blogging with moving and all of the craziness thatI miss the routine, the creating, the sharing so I’m going to jump back in. Like really jump back in. I’m posting every day this month. Pahhh! The kids are back in school, Landon has a little music preschool 3 times a week, it’s time.

Now, I’m not promising crazy awesome, pinterest perfection posts but more like the blogging I began with. Little thoughts, tips, décor ideas, recipes, deals, and imperfect posts that will get me back into it and hopefully you will enjoy. So, we’re going to count this as day 2, okay? Here we go…see you tomorrow. And the next day. And the next!

well, hello.

27 August 2013

We are in Utah. Trying to get settled, moved in, back into somewhat of a normal life. For any of you that have had a big move, you know how physically and emotionally draining and exhausting it is. To leave everything that is familiar and comfortable and recognizable and to come to everything new. Brand new.
Even little things like getting used to like where things are in the grocery store or how the new schools handle snacks and pick up lines, and changing the addresses to your favorite magazines. Walking into a large room of people where everyone seems to know each other and suddenly feeling very alone. And the big things like finding a new family doctor , my husband adjusting to a new position, and praying that your kids will be able to make new friends and feel comfortable.  Filling out all of the FORMS. The forms! Probably the worst part, wouldn’t you say?
It’s coming though, and I just have to remind myself that it takes TIME. Time to get to know people, to develop routines, to organize the house so it’s comfortable and things can be found and it can be a lovely place to come home to instead of cardboard boxes and chaos. And trying to determine the bare minimum to unpack because we’ll have to do it all again in less than a year: we are renting right now and have decided to build, and that adds a whole other dimension of stress.

-my mom would always say this to me when it was late at night and I was worrying or stressed about something. It is amazing the new perspective a nap or a new morning can bring, isn’t it?

Thanks, Mom :)

final before/after Virginia home tour

20 August 2013

Goodbye, you wonderful old Virginia home. It’s always fun to look back on the befores and afters isn’t it? As I walked through the empty house one last time, I was filled with nothing but gratitude for the chance we had to live in a home and neighborhood that was perfect for our family. Oh how we loved it, we already miss it.
On we go though~
