So Long

 It has been so long…I’m not sure where to begin it’s been almost a month since my last blog post. Maybe I'll start by telling you whats on my mind this moment and mostly every other moment.

 The stress of selling our home is doing my head it. Keeping everything clean and spotless 24/7 for viewings is exhausting when you have five people living in the house. Strangers coming into your home leaving cupboards open makes you feel uneasy. It almost doesn't feel like its not our house anymore. After an inspection, when I come back home I can feel the energy has shifted.  People driving by your house stopping to read the sign, staring into the windows and some even asking if the can come have a look without the real estate agent. The whole process hopefully will be over on Saturday after the auction. That is if we do get bidders.  I don’t even want to think about no-one showing up; I think my heart would break in two.

I picked up this cute little box today when I was out shopping. I've been on the hunt for something rustic looking as a photo prop when I take pictures of headbands and things for my website. I'm changing the way I style my shots less white background more vintage charm.

Dinner time at the McAllister’s

Lots of fun is had around here at dinner time…tonight we ate outside enjoying the gorgeous evening sun. Buffy & Kendra (our dogs) were hanging around hoping to get a taste of our yummy lamb chops. The kids were allowed to stand on the chairs and danced around to cool music. After belly’s were full of yummy food, its was time to jump on the trampoline.

Music played on shuffle tonight was: Wolfmother, Alpine, The Grates, Muse, Cold War Kids, Cat Power & Mutemath. What's your favourite dinner time music?

Dinner: Lamb Chops, Feta & sundried tomatoes salad & homemade chips with herbs

breakdown

I had a mini breakdown today...

We receive a phone call and one of the real estate agents wanted to bring someone through our house with only 15mins notice. Of course this morning was the morning that I didn't make the beds, or hadn't put the dishes in the dishwasher yet. And general stuff was lying around, towels in the bathroom, toys in the lounge room! Instead I went for a nice long walk with my hubby and let him talk me into relaxing on the whole spotless house thing for one day.

Oh Boy did I go off my tree and loose it completely in that 15 minutes. I was racing around the house like a crazy person picking stuff up and shoving it in cupboards while screaming at my husband. I had tears streaming down my face and felt like I couldn't breathe! I think I was hyperventilating. And of course the people arrive before we had placed the leads on the dogs - it’s the worst thing ever having two dogs, when you are trying to sell your house!

Day 2 of the sales campaign….I’m hoping for a quick sale before I go completely insane!

{By the way its the weirdest feeling walking out of your house with your dogs and leaving strangers behind.  I wonder if I will ever get use to it.}
