I took all day Saturday and organized the downstairs of our house. Even though we’ve lived here for 3 months, I just now feel truly settled, almost. It takes that long for me to figure out for sure where to put all the pens and pencils, the best place for the dishes and how our family actually uses the house.

My favorite and least favorite part about moving is the settling time. Because for months, I have had to tweak and live in partial chaos trying to figure out how we will live in this new place. And then I get mad at myself for taking so long, because when you move every year like we’ve been doing lately, 3 months in chaos is 25% of the your life.

So, later this week I’ll show you my office–how it looks now and all the different ways I’ve had it and why it didn’t work for me. And I also came up with a solution for that awkward wall in our breakfast area that we talked about in this post I hope you approve. I even have a quick little project to share–see you soon!
