Being a Mum is like flying a kite, you never know which way it is going to turn, it can turn really fast and end up crashing. Or it can just float happily and peacefully in one place, or simply sway from side to side

Ready for the next Chapter

I really hate to say this but we are unfortunately one of the unlucky ones that has been hit hard by the GFC (Global financial crisis).

So it is time to pack our things, sell the house and move on to bigger and better things.

I think the hardest part is fixing up the house for selling, knowing full well that you really don’t want to sell, as you like living in the house. But it is the right decision and we can buy another house in the future, just not yet.

Today we have spent most of the day cleaning, fixing, and beautifying our house so the photographers can come in and take pictures for the advertising. I look at the house and the pictures and think that I would buy this house no questions, but then that is why we bought it in the first place.

We are ready!, ready for the next chapter in our book, our lives. As much as it is not a nice thing to have to do, we still have each other, our health and wonderful family and friends that have helped us, we really appreciate it. We look forward to what the next chapter brings.

Hence why it is a bit quiet here at Justbeingamum, but don’t worry I will be back into it next week.
