With to-do list in hand I feel more focused and more accomplished.
Our closing for the new house is in less than ONE week.
Transition much?
Have I said it will be our 5th house in less than a year?
Well, this will be our 5th house in less than a year!
Since to-do lists help, I started one for the new house (mostly involving stripping wallpaper, painting, and other big projects)
But in the interest of creating rhythms/routines I think a general cleaning plan/to-do list might be beneficial ... and might actually make the cleaning happen ... because, if it's on the to-do list, ya gotta do it!

If I don't have a plan ahead of time I flounder, searching cookbooks until the feeling of hunger passes, and feeling overwhelmed I give up.

All of your readers know you will have many many to do lists with the upcoming move, but don't forget to make time to keep us all updated!!!!
The closing is Thursday and we plan to move in and start stripping wall paper on Friday. So exciting but also very hectic. Hopefully minimal interruption in blog posts :)
WOW!!! You don't waste any time!

Stripping wall paper and painting, that I'm planning on crossing off this list asap.
