Finally, One, and Very Likeable

The house sold.  There is a part of me that is thrilled, we can live normally, everything doesn’t have to stay clean all the time and our world doesn’t revolve around showings.  However, there are so many memories here, we got engaged in the family room, it was our first home together, is the place we brought the baby girl home to, etc.  For now our lives are being packed up, slowly little by little, boxes are stacking up, drawers and cabinets now lay empty, it’s very different.  As for the next part of our journey, I am not exactly sure, time will tell…

The baby girl has been transitioning to one nap.  I have been dreading this day for weeks knowing I wasn’t going to be able to hold on to two naps much longer.  Some days she handles it well, others, not so much and goes from fine to an overtired mess in a matter of seconds.  Sleep has definitely never been her strong suit, nor is change.

I want the world to know that right now I am loving Trader Joe’s Edamame Hummus.  If you have not tried it, you should.

And that is that! 

The Truth Hurts and Helps

 When I announced that I was going to be spring cleaning this week I am pretty sure I heard the boy let out a groan and that he intentionally made himself sick so he didn’t have to completely actively participate (he did have veto power though), however, there is something liberating about going through, organizing, and cleaning out.  I was planning on waiting till we move, but someone burst my bubble the other day, when I mentioned  that I was postponing some deep cleaning till we moved this person responded with “What if you don’t move for another six months or so, are you going to let it go for that long?”  Yes, I am still speaking to that person, although for a minute I was not too happy with them for being realistic instead of optimistic.   So now for a few days it will stay clean and organized, until the baby girl comes and starts pulling everything out of one of my neat drawers while I am not looking and I shove it all back in like it was a week ago.  Such is life!
