Chaos of Six: I'm baaack... many changes to come.

I must apologize for my absence over the last year, it sure has been an amazing and hectic one. However, it is now time to share all of my cost cutting secrets with you so you can living an amazing year like we have. The biggest and most exciting news I have to share is that we are now home owners. Yes, you read the correctly, we are home owners and we are loving every minute of it.

The few things I have learned from moving one house to another are:

1.) Moving Sucks.

2.) Moving is Expensive.

3.) If it can go wrong it will go wrong.

4.) You find so much nifty stuff you forgot you had.

I am sure that list is a pretty common list when someone moves,but for me it was even harder because I was doing everything on my own. Due to my husband's injuries he wasn't able to help much more than keeping an eye on the baby while I pack and move things around. We chose to rent a Uhaul and hire moving helpers to load and unload the truck. We did save money and that was the point but honestly I think if we ever move again we will hire a company to come in and pack and do all the work. I was stressed to the max, very ill (from exhaustion), and just not a happy camper by the end of the move.

Now that we are home owners I have the fun task of decorating an entire house on a budget. I am sure we will have home maintenance issues pop up that we have to deal with as well. I have a feeling YouTube and I will become really good friends over the next few years. But that is okay because we are home owners and I love my house.

I can't wait to share all of my DIY projects, even if they are considered a fail and I am sure we will have a few of those. Besides the unpacking and decorating the house I have three projects lined up and so far the first project is coming along nicely. So don't forget to come back and learn some awesome DIY projects, money saving tips, and general life advice.

Now I am sure you all are waiting to see pictures of the new house so here they are.
