Last night while getting Cameron ready for bed, I was about to replenish his drawer with more pull-ups, but then realized he is only going to use 14 more – so I counted them out and put the rest in the closet to be packed. It is a visual reminder of how many days we [...]

A sigh of relief
We finally have a house to go to…temporarily. It is not even 2 blocks from the beach…and this way we will be able to look for a house and not feel like we are rushed into making a decision, or settling for something that is not really what we want. It is furnished too, which [...]

PJ & Zoe have left the building
Thankfully we have great friends, who opened their house and hearts to our beloved cats. They came to our rescue and offered to take them until the end of October; and then they will be picked up by the transport company and kept in their boarding facilities until Mid-December. What a relief it is to [...]

At least we have furniture!
We may not have a place to put it all, but we have a whole house worth of furniture! Craig went to Freedom furniture (I am thinking it is the Pottery Barn of Melbourne) and ordered everything…bedroom set for us & Cameron, couches, coffee tables, etc. I bet he had a blast picking it all [...]

Thinking positive
It is the classic scenario: you find the perfect (insert item here), you envision yourself having it, wearing it, driving it, carrying it, walking in them, or in my case, living in it. And then it happens: it doesn’t come through. It is just the way it is, but still.. it is a let-down, a [...]

Typing with my fingers crossed
Ok, well not really, but they will be crossed again when I am done with this post. Craig went to see a house in Port Melbourne yesterday that we really liked online: 4 bedrooms, perfect location (walk to beach/school/shops/restaurants) and it looks like the owner is considering our application! I am hoping and praying that [...]

One month…the countdown begins
We are flying out September 12th, today is August 12th, so if my math is correct, that leaves us 1 month to get everything wrapped up and outta here. Stressed? Me? Nah…it will all get done (that is my new mantra)
Craig leaves this Saturday for Australia for 2 weeks, and will hopefully get us a [...]

Seeing Red
No, not in the “I’m really pissed off” sense. But literally, seeing RED. Somewhere in the last 6-8 months, Cameron fell in love with Red. Well, first it was Spiderman and he is red…I am assuming that is where it started. It was cute to see him running around shooting webs at me and pretending [...]

It can’t be this easy….
I got a phone call while at the playground with the kids today at around 1pm that the realtor had a showing set for 2:30/3:00, would that be ok? I grabbed the kids, hurried home and put them in for naps…ran around the house like a madwoman — stuffing clothes in drawers, closets, doing dishes, [...]
