The house goes on the market tomorrow

We have toiled, sweated and stretched ourselves getting our first home ready to sell.  It has been a gratifying process, though with some sadness attached.  I had to hold back the tears as I painted over the growth chart on the edge of our kitchen entry.  Each mark represented a memory of when my children were that size and what they were doing.

So while the process of negotiations occur and time on pins and needles continues, I will be in and out - semi missing in action, let's say.

Here are a few pictures of our first home getting ready to shine for others to see and fall in love (and hopefully buy!)

Still Missing In Action

Okay.  I know I vowed to have a post up a week after my last one.  Unfortunately (or fortunately) I have been wrapped up in other things.

 The biggest one is prepping our house for sale!  Yep.  We're doing it.  We're putting our abode of 10 years up and diving into a new and bigger one. We have been plugging away like peons trying to get all those little jobs done.  That is where and when we hit a snag that has consumed our time for the most part...a leaky toilet.  This has meant repairs to the ceiling, taking up the ceramic and subfloor.  It has also meant new subfloor and flooring, new toilet, a semi new vanity and new trim.  And like everything else, the bathroom is in a state of chaos!

So please forgive me if I am MIA for a bit. I promise to be back very soon with pics of the whole process and perhaps with pics of our new abode, too.

Enjoy your week!

PS.  The kids are enjoying the process and learning a lot from all this... go figure! :)
