We are in the process of selling our house. I’m pretty excited to be getting a new house, we’ve been looking at a few and found one we really like but we have to get our house ready to put on the market before we can make any offers. And getting a house ready to sell is a total pain. We’ve cleared out several loads to Goodwill, packed up all the clutter (clutter defined as pictures of us, Lexi, knick-knacks, half of Lexi’s toys, photo albums and pretty much anything else that makes the house feel lived in) We’ve been cleaning everything - scrubbing woodwork and floors, organizing cupboards, vacuuming cobwebs out of the basement, washing windows, dusting - and realizing that the house was a lot dirty than we thought it was.

We’ve also been making some minor and major improvements to the house. Minor ones include replacing the ceiling fan in the kitchen, the light in the dining room, and buying a new rug for the front hall. Major improvements include replacing the roof.

So if you know of anyone who wants to buy a house in St. Paul, send them our way.
