Why I Like To Move!

Why I Like To Move | Lifestyle Blogging

I am in the middle of moving my family (1 hubs, 1 mother-in-law, two cats, two dogs, three kids and a hamster) across the country and the last thing I should probably be doing is writing a blog post rather than GETTING MY SHIT TOGETHER.

But I was thinking about why I am so happy in the midst of all this chaos and being a writer, really had to write about it!

I am a “moving person”

I have friends on Facebook who have never left the hometown I grew up in and that is a total mystery to me. I have lived in many places including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Colorado and am getting ready to head back to Florida.

Each move is so much fun as I get to know new places and people.

I can have a new house

This may be the longest time I have lived in a house since childhood (7 years). It was an amazing house, but after a while there really is only so much you can do to a place to make it “different”. Yeah you can move furniture around or re-arrange your countertops differently, but there are no real changes that will make a huge difference.

But now I am moving to a new house. It is twice as big as the one we are in now so that is cool (more decorating) and that blank canvas is super sexy to me!

Since I have only seen pictures at this point, I am trying to be super focused on NOT having weird expectations about it and to NOT get all kinds of things that might not really fit in when I get there.

I have been mostly successful in this!

I can have a perfectly organized house

I have OCD, so that is out there. This means that things in the wrong place really do bother me (although I am not always able to fix them myself).

But a NEW HOUSE can be perfect. I have a vision for what it can be, how everything will be perfect and the little children will put everything in its place (unlike here where there are no less than 6 socks laying around the house in random places).

Now, I am aware that the little children will still have socks in Florida, but in my dream house, everything will have a place and we will all live in sockless harmony.

I can change my business

When you have a business it can be easy to fall into a rut and to think that you have to keep doing all the things that you have done before.

This move means more space and so I am changing things up a bit. I am going to be selling more physical products and starting an Ebay store.

I will shop more and get out of the house more. I will be listing and learning and doing new things. YES I know that I could have done that without moving, but change is hard and I find when I change my environment I am more able to change my business!

I can exercise more

I have a mastermind partner (FitnessDivaKir) who is super healthy and fit and who keeps me on track. When I said I wanted to walk everyday because it will never get cold or snowy again, she said, “when are you going to do that” … as in, what time every day will that happen?

So my intention is to walk everyday around my new neighborhood at 10:30 and 2:30 to exercise me and my doggies.

Sure I could do that here and had been getting more fit by going to the gym prior to the wheels falling off with the move, but moving to a new place makes that seem more possible!

I can eat better

I just found out that because of food allergies I probably have to start being a vegetarian. Seriously? I had already given up beef, pork and chicken, but had held on to fish, but they are trying to kill me now too.

Supposedly there is a farmers market around the corner so hopefully I will get great produce that I can make into super delicious rabbit food that will keep me nourished!

I can live like Martha Stewart

Okay, let’s call a spade a spade. Moving to a new house is probably not going to solve all my problems. I will probably not have spotless children or a perfect house. I will still have lots of work I love doing but which isn’t perfect.

I might even have a less than amazing time driving across country with my son, two cats and a dog than I think I will.

But somewhere in the back of my mind is always the hope that I can live like Martha. She has perfect food and gardens, her decor is impeccable and her craft tools are amazing.

Yeah she had that little jail thing, but mostly I just want her storybook life, and maybe this move will make it happen!
