The delightful, immensely talented Beckie of Infarrantly Creative fame asked me over to her place this week. I hope you’ll venture over to check it out! Beckie is such a genuine, fabulous woman, and her blog is one on my short list of must-reads! Love her!

In other news…
I have found something that is truly incompatible with blogging.
More than diaper changes…
Or cleaning house…
Or cooking meals or going to ballgames or anything akin to that.
Want to know what it is?
MOVING. And not just down-the-street moving. We’re talking to a different state with three children and all of their STUFF moving.
Oh my word, friends. I don’t know how I am going to keep from losing my mind throughout this process! Relocating in one month’s time with three children to manage and a house to sell is an entirely different ballgame than our move here was five years ago, before the days of mortgages and mamahood. I am going to lose my mind!
So, please bear with me. I want nothing more than to sit at my creative desk and make something to inspire you, but I will instead have to opt to clean the commodes and do the floors for the umpteenth time, all the while awaiting the, “We’ll be there in 30 minutes, so run out the door with your hair on fire,” calls from realtors.
I miss y’all!!

Ack! Is it moving time already?? Can’t wait to hear where you end up. And hopefully we can get together sometime! 🙂
Oh, sweetie, you are SO right- moving with kiddos is such a PAIN! I wish you the best with all of the boxes and bubble wrap!
Good luck Amy!
hang in there girl. I just went through that in June. We moved 2100 miles away. 5 kids all there stuff. homeless until the house closed. Yuck! I feel your pain. now that things are back to normal. I can laugh about it.
O wow, what a big change!! Moving is always tricky, but not to mention managing 3 children!! Best of luck, my friend!! We are getting ready to move out of our apartment, too, and I am anticipating that change, too!
Just the thought of moving makes me wanna puke! So stressful! I don’t want to ever do it again. I was wondering if everything is okay. And as long as I know it is…..take some bloggy time-off….and come back when you’re settled. It will make you less stressed! And I’ll be here waiting whenever you’re back. (in a totally “non-stalker” way 🙂 )
Ugh. I understand. Been there… 18 times in my adult life. Just did it again… just across town this time… but w/5 kids. When God opens the doors He provides the way.. .and the sanity. Stay in the Word!
I blogged recently about this, too.
Hugs!

Yikes! I’m doing the EXACT same thing now… except I only have two kiddos. The keeping the house spotless at all times is killing me!!! I think I’m about ready for all of the packing and moving out of state, just to end the perfectly clean house thing! I am feeling like an underpaid maid! ha!
Good luck with selling you house and the move!
Hey Amy….I just LOVE your blog….you are so creative! I am giving you an award so stop by if you’d like!
