Here is a glimpse into my life the last few days...towering boxes, miles of bubble wrap, stacks of tissue paper, endless rolls of tape that could circle the earth 9 times...I hope this is our last move for awhile. For those who may not know, we move about every 2-3 years (it's been only a year here in this house on the east coast since we moved here from out west.) My husband and I have house ADHD. We tire of our surroundings quickly. We grow fickle so to speak...But we think this next house may be the one. The one we stick at for awhile. Not 35 years, I know that, but maybe 10? It has huge possibilities and already some delightful, charming assets to it. The 90 year old beauty has deep window sills, pocket doors to the dining room, great, detailed staircase, beautiful hard wood floors, lovely fireplace, awesome front porch perfect for parties and play (please see pictures below if you haven't already.) The girls are excited because they'll have the whole third floor to themselves with a large bedroom, bath and playroom. A nice size schoolroom/ craft room. A terrific space for a new garden! A room for my Mom to stay in when she's visiting us! (Yay Mommy! I heart her so!) Great neighborhood to boot. Yes, this may be the one for awhile. We'd also like not to mentally scar in someway our daughters if we can help it by one day having commitment and rooting issues as they've moved so much with us now. McKaylah, my 7 year old has moved 5 times so far in her life. Ava, 4 years old, 3. Yes, time to hunker down. Root ourselves. Root, root, root...
(oh, look, it says "Fragile" on the boxes- it must be Italian!)
