Hey everyone! Long time, no talk to 🙂
I hadn’t planned this several week absence from the blog, but with moving and end of the school year stuff for my daughter, time just got away from me. You know how it is…
But I am back!
So yes, I have moved. And I love my new apartment! The bigger bathroom has been a lifesaver. Lol, it’s the little things. And I still have 4 boxes that have yet to be unpacked. And that is important because in my last post, I mentioned that I was having my own version of The Minimalists packing party, where you pack up everything you own, and only unpack what you need. You can read about that here.
I gave myself 21 days and lo and behold, we still have 4 boxes that are sitting here. So the next thing to do, is to open those bad boys up, see what is inside them, and then decide what to do with the items, whether to donate or sell them. Another project, but one I am looking forward to 🙂
Last week, my husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary! 9 years and counting ♥ He brought home these beautiful red roses for me! They are actually a very dark, dark red, but no matter how I took the picture, they came out lighter, lol. But I love them! 🙂
I am glad school is out and I we don’t have to get up so early in the mornings for awhile. Mama need a break 😉 So far we have been swimming at the pool, going to the library, eating ice cream, and watching old episodes of Bewitched. I forgot how much I liked that show!
Saw this outside of a furniture shop:
How is Summer going so far for you guys? 🙂

Glad you’re back, Mackenzie! I’ve missed you! It must feel fantastic to be settled into your new apartment. Moving is such a big pain! I love that sign. So funny! I’ve been enjoying the pool and library too. And really craving some ice cream because it’s been so dang hot. Grrr … that’s not supposed to happen until August!

Glad to be back too, Tanya. I didn’t realize time would escape from me like that!
You know what is funny about that sign? My daughter saw this sign and asked me how do we get the puppy because I want one! LOL 🙂

“So the next thing to do, is to open those bad boys up, see what is inside them, and then decide what to do with the items, whether to donate or sell them.” OK, I’m going to bet that you won’t be able to resist keeping some of them. What do you think? Mackenzie this Minimalist packing party experiment you are doing is really interesting. Looking forward to knowing what you end up doing with the contents of those 4 boxes!

One box had photo albums, wedding ones, etc… so definitely keeping those. But the others were mostly toys (can you believe it?) and we got rid of most of them.
