The MOVE to the NEW OLD house

So we moved. I know it was out of nowhere. Well, not really out of no where. Our house had been on the market for 1 month or so and it sold, the crazy part is the buyers wanted a 2 week close. Yes, that means I had 2 weeks to pack up 3500 sq. ft. and move it to the old house (the house we moved from originally but have been renting out for the last 2 years). Oh did I mention the old house is 1876 sq. ft. How the heck do I make a down size like that when we have added 1 human being, 1 dog, and about a million things to our life to fill that huge house? I did it mainly with the help of my lovely sister Barbie. What would I do without her? She helped me like you would not believe. I am not a great de-clutterer, but man alive she is a pro. Now here we sit comfortably in our 1876 sq. ft. with the wonderful feeling that this is where we need to be. We do not need things or a big house to be happy. We need simplicity (which those of you who know our crazy life know it is far from simple), but it is nice to come home to a much simpler place, a place I can manage to keep clean between 2 kids, a dog, a cat, a job, hitting lessons, boot camps, runs, and all the other things we have on our plate. It is so nice to be home and feel at home!!! We love this house and this neighborhood, it has so many wonderful memories, and there are many more to come!!!!

P.S. I promise I am going to post more often, the kids are growing so fast and I want to share it with you!!!!
