Wordless Wednesday - Moving with Four Year Old

Happy Wordless Wednesday everyone! Seeing as how I never post any more except for Wordless Wednesday, I figured I better put some words on here. 

Here's my kid, just doing the usual.


And here she is again, happy with her first ever Jamberries. 


What I really need for her though is some kind of special laundry detergent that focuses on removing chocolate, so I don't have to pre-treat every last one of her outfits.

Okay.

I admit it.

I need that special type of detergent for my clothes too.

We're still plodding along toward moving. It's getting emptier around here. We have one room all the way "done"! Now, if we could just get the other four bedrooms and the rest of the house looking like this, we'd be all set.


That's about all the news from here. Looking for more Wordless Wednesday?

Wordless Wednesday at the Women's March Houston

My phone died about seven seconds after arriving at the Women's March, Houston. So not only are these the only photos I could get, but they are cell phone pics to boot. But anyway...here we were:

On putting stuff in the "wetter" and moving (we hope)

Hello Blogsville! How goes everything?

Here we are getting ready to move, so everything has been crazy and hectic but in a good way. If all goes as planned we will be moving at the beginning of March down from a five bedroom house to only a two bedroom place.

To that end, we've been selling and giving away as many of our possessions as we can possibly part with. So when I've picked up my camera at all these days, it's to post items for sale.

Like see? This pretty bedroom set:



If you can come pick it up outside of Houston, it's yours for the taking. Well...buying really. It comes with a nightstand too of course.

Meanwhile the Head of Demolition has been up to her usual.

Me - "That's all I can think of off the top of my head."
Her - What can you think of from the bottom of you?"

And last time I put a blouse through the dryer on accident:

Her - "What's the matter?"
Me - "I didn't mean to put that in the dryer!"
Her - "You only meant to put it in the wetter?"

Here's the picture I get of the kid when I tell her I'll give her some chocolate chips for sitting still:


And here's what she looks like in real life:

Puppy Pads - The Perfect Wedding Gift

Hello Blogsilvania! Happy New Year to all!

Here we are getting ready to put our house on the market (It's all yours if you want it!) and that includes getting rid of a lot of stuff.

It's interesting selling things on Facebook. I'm finding out a lot of surprising things like, "People are flakes!" I don't know how many people have told me they're coming only for them to not show up, or show up an hour later than they said they would.

But the most surprising thing is what does and doesn't sell.

Bikes sell.

People do NOT want bone china. Apparently.

And they don't want silver plated anything either.



My dad says this is because everyone gets silver plated stuff for their wedding and they don't know what to do with it. I can tell you what NOT to do with it, and that's sell it on Facebook.

But I'll tell you something I know people need for certain. Giant Lego head sorters. And puppy pads. People are all over puppy pads.


So my advice is, next time you need a wedding gift, puppy pads are definitely the way to go. You're welcome.
