I sit here to write this as it is currently snowing like crazy outside. At the end of April.
Yeah.
Welcome to Alberta. Sigh.
Other than our never-ending winter, April has been a fun yet crazy month. We moved into our new place, I finished up my winter semester of school and we went camping two weekends in a row (in the snow!).
A busy month – that’s only going to get busier as the summer months come upon us.
With spring upon us it’s the perfect time of year for a little tidying & de-cluttering!
We also just moved, so having a new place to decorate involves making sure everything stays organized and tidy. I hate having any type of clutter, so I’ve gathered together some ways to keep your home and life a little more organized.
I put together a few home organization hacks back in the summertime, and here I’ve gathered some more awesome de-cluttering tips.
Now, nobody likes moving. I mean, the actual MOVING part. Of course getting to be in a new home is usually an exciting experience, but getting all your crap there – that’s the hard part.
This will be our third move in two years, our last being eight months ago. So we’ve definitely learned a thing or two about moving into a new place.
We’ve been apartment living the past few years, so we definitely don’t have as much stuff as an entire house may have, so we may have it a little easier.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t have anything! So far into packing I’ve filled well over 20 boxes, and I’m not even done yet! It’s definitely an exhausting process to do all by yourself, but manageable.
So to save yourself some cash on packers and movers, I’ve got a few tips for ya.
I feel like I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus from the blog, but man oh man has life ever been crazy and busy.
I’ve never had a start to a year have so many things thrown in my face. I feel like there’s been more happen in these past two and a half months then I’ve had in the past few years altogether. So many emotions have run through my body, and the most new to me has been grief.
We lost someone so near and dear to me in January and I still have no idea how to deal with this never ending pain. I truly take each day as a gift and have held my family closer than ever before. I hate to skim over this, because it clearly holds more importance than anything, but I’m really not ready to talk about it or even know how to form any of this into words.
