Laundry - not much more to be said. |
I love,
love, love our new washer and "dryer". Having them makes my life so much nicer and
easier. The washing machine does an
excellent job getting our clothes clean and it really is wonderful not to go to
the laundromat anymore. Clean clothes
anytime I want.

I love,
love, love my tiny home. While it rained
last night I fell asleep listening to it tapping our roof all snug in my queen
sized bed with my kitty Henry curled up beside me. I also had on my new pajamas I had bought
from Dillards on the clearance rack.
Original price $64 and I paid $19.
Love the fabric and super comfy.

I love
our new neighborhood and slowly we are getting to know the neighbors as
well. I really enjoy our sweet little
grocery store with the post office inside and the library right next door. My girls are able to visit the library weekly
and as a result they are reading a lot more. Of course it helps that we no longer have access
to regular television. I'm reading a
whole lot more as well.
My new favorite breakfast |
My tiny
kitchen is proving to be just perfect for me and the girls to prepare meals in and
super quick to clean up after. The big
cutting board I bought to put over the sink makes it really nice adding
just the right amount of extra space we need.
I've tailored our meal plan for simple easy-prep meals and we actually
seem to be enjoying them more for some reason.
I am
tickled pink that I can clean my entire house in less than an hour. I do this once a week while the girls are in
school. I am still working to
streamline, organize and set up things in here and I expect to continue to do
so for awhile yet.
Old one. Stella was my helper. |
New one. Isn't it pretty? |
I replaced
the old sewer line with a new one this week. Took about 15 minutes and it looks lovely. Well as lovely as a sewer line can, anyway.
Best
thing of all right now is that my girls are loving their new schools. They are making friends, love their classes and
their teachers. Open house was last
night for my oldest. She was just
beaming and more than a little excited to show me around and introduce me to
her teachers. They really do seem
wonderful.
To top
it off it has been a wonderful week. How
has your week been?
So good to hear you all are settling in well. Getting rid of our TV years ago was the best thing we did. My husband use to have the TV on while sitting at the computer. Talk about a waste of electricity.

I'm afraid to say I was guilty of the exact same thing. I wasn't even watching the TV, it was just background noise. Now I listen to music when I am on the computer. Much more enjoyable.
DeleteHave a great day Jill!
Hi, I popped over here from Alice's blog and I just love your blog! You sound so content in your move to a simpler calmer life. I lived in New York City for 31 years until I got married and I have to say even though I like to visit once in a while...I wouldn't live there again. I like the quiet here and getting to actually know your neighbors is priceless!

Yaaay! So glad you found us. There are a lot of places I like to visit but don't necessarily want to live in. :) I am amazed at my own transformation in just this past month. It has definitely been good for me. I sure breathe a whole lot better. Have a great day Joanne!
