On the move...

I think we have slighty outgrown our 2 bedroomed house even with its lovely new kitchen. 2 kids, 3 parents, 2 bedrooms doesn't work out too well for long! We are doing the finishing touches to our house over the next few days to get it on the market next week. Actually, all we are going to do is paint the hallway/stairs and the living room and tidy up the garden a bit. Though it's exciting and necessary I've been feeling pretty sentimental about leaving this house. This is longest I've lived in any house except my parents, it's our first bought house, we have 5 years here, welcomed 3 baby girls into our family and made many, many happy memories. The location is great, quiet and safe for the girls to play out, plenty of children to play with, easy distance to school/playgroup and you don't feel like you are living on top of your neighbours. As much as I am looking forward to moving I'm so sad to leave. There are a few houses on the market we are interested in so watch this space!!!

Oh hope everything goes smoothly! Our place is also going on the market soon, no plans for where we'll move too yet though. I hope we get long notice of anyone wants to come and view, the thought of keeping everywhere tidy.....oh no!!! xx

Oh I'm so excited for you! Good luck with showing the house. I can't even imagine keeping a house up to standard to be shown all the time!!! Maybe it will call for an extended visit to Grandpa and Grandma's!

Love the new family picture on your header by the way!
