Finally! Moving day is TODAY! By the photos you would almost think I am sipping champagne and prancing around in high heels right? Well, it's exactly the opposite- I'm sweaty and dusty and very likely smelly too. But I had to indulge in the idea, at least for five minutes) that moving could be perfectly civilized and glamorous. I'm a mix of all sorts of stressed, excited, anxious and overwhelmed. My arms and back are achy, my mind is going a million miles a minute with the long list of to-dos and I have my fingers crossed for everything to go smoothly. I tried to find some cute 'moving day' photos on pinterest and the web but was immensely disappointed. The photos were boring and ordinary and I needed 'uplifting' and 'pretty' so I had to make my own reality and stage them for you. It was a five minute stage but it is better than the alternative (who wants to see piles of boxes and garbage bags?). Since I haven't gotten around to packing my closet I pulled one of my favorite dresses. This one I wore to my rehearsal dinner and to my dad's 70th birthday. I have the best memories of both nights, so I decided to add some glamour to the otherwise odious and traumatic moving day experience.
Mother's day is around the corner. If you haven't found that perfect treat to pamper her on her special day here are a few ideas because moms are the ones who love us best.
