My view

-
I'm writing from an undisclosed location (that we love!) in Central Florida and here is my current view: 
Turns out I went a little slap happy when it came to buying 12 month clothes & I could dress every 1 year old girl East of the Mississippi. 

We are all moved into the new house, sans a few items. (I've been itching to use new lingo in my blog posts even if I'm not sure if it fits correctly. Hence the word, sans.... and hence) I liken moving with two young children to digging yourself out of a deep sand pit while people stand up top dumping more sand on you. Here are a few things we already love about the new place...

-More space. Who knew that 250-300-ish sq ft could be so life changing? 
-More storage, less exposed stuff
-Screened in back porch and big yard
-A designated play area for toys 
-We can all fit happily in the big kitchen 
-A big ol' fat beautiful tree in the front yard 
-A tall ceiling in the living room 
-A wood burning  fireplace (that we've already used once!) 
-Windows with screens that open. Another life changing amenity 
-All of the bedrooms are on one side of the house 

Until next time-
Peace, love and unpacking

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
