Scrap Your Trip Adds 224 Items + 224 S*A*L*E Items

My sunflower wreath is hanging on a new front door.

Many of you might remember an email I sent out in September when I moved out of the house and the kids and I moved into a condo in Celebration (a Disney master planned community).  I hung a sunflower wreath on the front door, because just like a sunflower, wherever I am planted, I will always grow to face the sun.

Condo living was new and fun and exciting at the beginning.  We had an elevator!  The condo was so much smaller and cozy!  I can take the trash to the trash room anytime I want!

Living in the community of Celebration was also really exciting in the beginning.  It’s such a small town feel, right in the middle of the city.  

But after 6 months (Wow!  I can’t believe it’s been six months already!), the excitement has worn off.  We all miss living in a house with a yard.  And a garage.

And I miss my regular grocery store.  And my regular Target, Walgreens, restaurants, etc.

So, yesterday, we moved into a house.  It’s four minutes from school back in our old “neck of the woods”.  A lot of the kids’ classmates live in the neighborhood (including Lauren’s best friend) and there are a lot of other kids nearby.  And while the real estate market is not so good for homeowners right now, it’s awesome for renters!

The kids are super-duper excited.  I am excited too, but I am also really nervous.  It feels a little overwhelming right now.  

Awhile ago, my scrapbook rep, Phyllis made a comment about “pink jobs” and “blue jobs”.  Everything is a “pink job” now and that kind of has me a little freaked out.  But, I’m strong and independent and I’m sure it will all be fine after we get all settled in.  It’s the only choice I have.

In an effort to make this place feel more like home, I let the kids pick out new bedding and decorations for their rooms.  I put it all together yesterday while they were at school and it was so cute to see the looks on their faces when they got home.   Let the new Mommy Swatek Family adventure begin!
