Sold!

We've had an exciting past month-we bought a new house!  And then, we had our old house to sell yet too!  We've been looking for a new place for more than a year, and now, success!
We tidied up our cluttered house and had it on the market in what felt like a whirlwind, by the beginning of December.  We then spent two weeks of living with a place that could be turned to immaculate* and empty of occupants at a 3 hours notice.  We (Mommy R) were very happy to sell at the end of two weeks.
 We celebrated by hanging up your Christmas cards, and then I went on a baking binge and just had a hoot making such a mess of my kitchen, having everything out all day long and not tidying 'til the end of the day.  It is sure nice to have your house back as a home again, and not be obliged to go shopping or to the library or visiting with a short notice, even it's stretched to 3 hours.

The customers that showed up late for their showing (and we were home again) could hardly get into our house for coats and boots and kids everywhere. :p

So the new place has space, inside and out.  We hope if you happen to be in Ontario, that you think of us if you are in need of accommodations!
 It will need some TLC as it's been without occupants for some time, probably just two months short of a year by the time we move in.  We'll try our best to make it feel loved again. ;)

*immaculate:  free of clutter and freshly vacuumed.  Not with shining walls and windows or sanitary kitchen and bathrooms.

Gloria, did you ever see our first basement suite? Or only the one we moved in.

Either way it is better, for sure.
