The Move and Real Life Minimalist Feature

the move

Just popping in today to report that the move this past weekend was successful. As I disclosed on Instagram, we decided to move ourselves this time, pretending that we aren’t in our mid-thirties and that not using a moving company wasn’t a big deal. Thankfully, we had some great friends (who also CrossFit) who spent 10+ hours helping us.

We are roughly 75% unpacked. And when I say unpacked, I mean that we are living with only the necessities. I have spent the past 10 months minimizing our stuff in anticipation of selling our home and beginning our RV adventure. Despite less stuff, we still had a lot to move.

We considered selling all our furniture, but when the option of storing it at my Grandma’s vacant house popped up, we jumped at the chance. Now, when we do put down roots again after our RV trip, we won’t have to refurnish an entire house.

And speaking of minimalism, check out my post on MissMinimalist.com today talking about why I was drawn to minimalism.

Day to day, I help my husband with his small business, but when I have any extra time, you can find me cooking or being active outdoors with my family. We live at the foothills of the North Georgia mountains and are embracing modern homesteading month by month.

  1. I loved your guest post! I’m the middle of packing boxes for our move and am reconsidering all the crap we have accumulated!

    1. It’s crazy how quickly all the stuff adds up! We still had plenty of boxes, but most of it was kitchen stuff, which we use regularly. Can’t wait until I see you rocking on that front porch 🙂
