It's been quite the adventure thus far--moving a family of five from a small college town in New England to the second largest city in the United States. (This may explain my lack of posting these last few weeks.) One of the best things to occur in preparing for the move was getting rid of STUFF. My mantra to husband and kids had become: We're keeping only what we use or find beautiful. Countless trips to The Salvation Army, Goodwill and the dump/recycling center felt really good.Posting may be a little spotty during the next couple of weeks. But I should get into my new groove very soon.

I've been enjoying your blog for awhile now. Love your posts. Good luck with the move. I recently moved to LA from SF in April, not as big a move as yours but still transitioning! Looking forward to future posts!
How exciting! I, too did the purge-move thing. I'm sure New England will miss you all.
Wow big move! I lived in the LA area (West Hollywood to be exact) for a couple years and LOVED IT! Have fun.
Best of luck with the move, it can be very stresful but when the dust settles exhilirating. Love your palm trees. Carla x
I am contemplating a move sometime soon from California to back East - New York / Washington D.C. area. Though nothing is finalized yet, I have been getting rid of everything - it feels divine to bring stuff to the Salvation Army!
I completely commend you for being able to not only get rid of stuff for a family of five; but actually survive a move with that many people! :)
Fantastic! Can't wait to see what new blog posts LA brings.
Lots of luck in LA!! Have so much fun!
