We're probably doing it wrong.
Tuesday we put in our move-out notice at our rented house. The closing date for our new, first home is set for next week. I booked movers for Weds Oct 30. Oh my goodness, this is really happening!

First of all--no, we aren't moving anytime soon. This is completely out of the blue. I was listening to an old Joy the Baker podcast and they were talking about moving and packing. Yet I think I do have some helpful things to share about the packing/moving process. And today marks two years ago that... Continue Reading →

Then we spent two-three hours cleaning up, bringing down trash, recycling, old furniture type stuff. It... Continue Reading →
The day we left for house-hunting on the West Coast, I had brunch with a friend who's also my former supervisor. We chatted and caught up and rolled our eyes about work BS. When we parted I realized that it is very possible I won't see her again. She moved out of NYC last year... Continue Reading →
As if enough things weren't already going on this year, we're also moving across the country at the end of August. I have a LOT to say about this, as you can imagine. This has been a long time coming, for those of you longtime readers. I moved to New York in the summer of... Continue Reading →
We Have Twins?!
