Armed yesterday with a sack of snacks, we hit the road to walk through more open houses.
Orange you glad I brought directions?
Would you believe that orange lead us straight to a house we loved and are ready to make an offer on? Well believe it! Our realtors are coming over this morning to put together the paper work and to take a look at our house to get it ready to put on the market.
I need to have people over first thing on a Monday morning more often – the house is spotless! I gave up my workout time this morning to pick up toys, books, put away laundry and even clean out the fridge.
Zak: Are they going to look in the fridge?
Me: Are you asking me NOT to clean the fridge?
**crickets chirping**
I didn’t think so. And yes, maybe they will look in the fridge. Maybe that will make or break the whole deal. What if I ask them if they’d like something to eat or drink and they tell me they are in the mood for kale chips? I’d have to open the fridge, right? We want it to look nice in there too. Forget baking cookies to make the house smell nice, let’s bake some kale!
Speaking of kale, isn’t it time for breakfast? I wanted something warm this morning but didn’t want to invest 15 minutes in oatmeal, so I made oat bran instead. Cooks in 1 minute? Where do I sign!
3/4 c unsweetened vanilla hemp milk, 1/2 c water, half a banana sliced, a dash of cinnamon – brought to a boil while stirring occasionally. Reduce to simmer, add 1/2 c of oat bran. 1 minute later? Time to eat.
Topped with the other half of the banana and some sliced almonds.
Taking a little Breakfast Blog Break and then it’s time to whip out the vacuum and figure out what else I can neurotically clean between now and 10:30.
Congratulations!!!! How exciting, I hope they accept your offer!!
OMG……..that was fast!!!! I hope they accept your offer, too. I just know your house will sell fast. It will.
Yay…it’s happening!!!!
Wowzers that was fast! It took us MONTHS to find our house!
I would clean the fridge too.
HEY… I bought Kale too! Wanna have a Kale Chip get together?
Say Tuesday Evening at 7pm?
I am having juice and green smoothie for breakfast. no cooking here!
HOPE IT ALL GOES WELL!

Yay for finding a new house and good luck vibes for selling your current one. I know I would also be in overdrive cleaning everything. What a fun couple months you guys are going to have!
I have been rocking out the kale chips faster than you can say no more cheetos around here!
Cant wait to hear about all the open houses…we are 6 mos ahead of you. It’s real “fun” isn’t it, schlepping from property to property with a kiddo and carseat and bad directions and bad lock box codes…but sort of fun b/c you feel like your new house is behind Door Number 1 and it’s so exciting. I hope you find the right house soon!!!!
Congrats, that’s awesome!
Nothin like a little speedcleaning to start your week off right
Congrats!! How exciting that you found a house you love! I sometimes think FINDING a house you love is harder than selling the current house!
Strap on your heartrate monitor — that will make your vacuuming feel like cardio! (That’s what I do with yardwark… 😉 I call it YARDIO!)
Good luck!
That’s one smart ORANGE!!!
I’d like to think you decided California is where your moving to… since I live in Orange, Ca!! No joke!! But I’m sure that’s not the case… I can’t wait to read about the new house!
Good luck with it all and Happy Monday to you!!
xoxo

yayyyyyy for the new house! sooooo excited for you!
Yay good luck on selling and buying the house!
Love juicy oranges, perfect snacky!
Congrats on finding the house! Now, may everything else go smoothly!
Congrats my love! i hope for the best!
I’m with you: If I am cleaning for guests to come over I clean everything. J is the one who usually says, “Um. They won’t notice that, Maria!” and I always reply, “Well, they might!”
Yay for successful house hunting!!!
That’s so exciting!! I guess you’re about to be even busier than usual!
There are only two people that live in my tiny apt., but the only day its clean is Monday.
We need to have a talk about the house! SO EXCITING!!!!! Have I told you I have the same popcorn popper (almost typed pooper)? I don’t use it nearly enough but I think this post has inspired me to.
