Preparation and moving with Jack

Dear Readers,
Today I want to share with you my moving process for Jack. I am in no way an expert, things just went really well for us so I wanted to share our process.

We are moving house!

Exciting news! Sorry that I have been so AWOL but the stress of buying and selling house kind of got the better of me. But it is all official now, we are moving on Friday. I have already packed up the house and we are all prepared so I am just deep cleaning the house as we wait for moving day.

Peace and Love
