Yay for finally moving in! And booo for all the mess made these past weeks and for the unpredictable weather! It’s swung from being sunny to rainy and back again not once, but twice this week. I mean, enough already.  Make up your mind, Weather.  And I have to make up my mind if I [...]

We have too many clothes.  I don’t know where else to put the rest.  Even my little girl has problem with storage.  All her toys and collection of fancy dress have been set aside in a big box until I find or create a space for them.  This is the problem with condo living.  Storage [...]
