Moving house
Thanks to everyone who has been patiently coming back to my blog to check whether I had new entries up! I have been packing, moving house and unpacking this past month… It’s really crazy how much 2 adults and 2 children can accumulate! And that’s not taking into account all the stuff we threw away, gave away, sold and donated.
Honestly, moving house this time has made me realise how little I really need to get by. The kids too, even though I can’t resist more cute threadless t-shirts or cool toys for them, they really don’t need that much. My 2 year old just spent about half an hour the other day playing with a small soft toy mouse and an old baby sock!
Anyway, it’s been really fun reorganising the house the way we want it… I’m particularly happy with my bookshelf, we finally managed to alphabetize the novels, although who knows how long that will last. My husband says, moving into the new place was like rebooting the computer, and I have to agree, it’s made the house less cluttered and more logically planned. That is until the kids next take over our living room with a lego battle!
