Moving Moving Moving

Moving is a part of life for those of us in the military. Every 3 years or so it's time to pack up all over again and move to a new place. For military families it is most likely that these moves take place during school breaks (Christmas and Summer). It's clear that it's summer moving time around our base! We just got back from a 3 week vacation to the states and there are so many new faces. Our little street of houses is nearly full and before we left it was half empty! Anyway, moving can also be a part of life for those not affiliated with the military, although it probably happens less frequently for them. But just like us, the vast majority of American moves takes place during the summer time.

So maybe you are moving now or gearing up to move soon and you are thinking- what am I going to do with all this stuff? Is it possible to decorate a new house with this same stuff? And my electronics, where do they go? Sigh. I've asked these questions what feels like a million times. LUCKILY, this time I got to ask an expert! Lisa LaPorta, a design professional from HGTV (and a ton of other shows!), was nice enough to let me bombard her with questions about moving, decorating, and all that happens in between. (Do ignore my"special-ness." I was at the beach and had a little delay with my internet. I promise I'm not as special as I may appear.)

I know I learned a lot and I hope you do as well!
