I didn’t intend to take a blogging break. Oops! After we moved to a house, I feel more uncomfortable posting about upcoming trips, especially long ones that take us away from home for a long period of time. The part that stinks is that I can’t talk about any upcoming excitement or preparation for the trip!

Metro Atlanta public schools are still closed, until Tuesday (Monday is a holiday) – though I think a lot of private schools are going back tomorrow. Tomorrow the temperatures are supposed to be in the low 40’s, and hopefully the ice will melt!! Meanwhile, I still have not left the house since Sunday. I walked down our driveway today to get…

I think it’s probably a good challenge if you’ve already done a major declutter and want to push yourself to get rid of a few more things. But when you’re talking 200 or 300 items… yeah that’s annoying. I would have taken a picture, but I could just anticipate someone getting offended…
