Lentil and the Mint: Snapshots

I know, it's been a while. I don't think I have ever been so exhausted in all my life. Despite having moved 3 times in the last 5 years I was very laid back about our move and the chaos it entails. How hard could it be? Well, it turns out, very. A 1 and 2 year old do not make for easy packing/ unpacking/ admin. The job has seemed harder still as we are now effectively camping at the new house as all of our stuff will stay in boxes until we have the place ripped apart and put back together again early next year (we will move to a small rental cottage nearby while this happens) Anyway, enough complaining as the new house is amazing - I feel so lucky and excited to get started bringing it into shape and realising my 'vision'.... there is a awful lot to do and if I'm honest I'm a little nervous as to a) the very tight budget and b) the time scale with the new babe appearing early February. But hey, why not take on every stress inducing life event at once right?!
