Moving Day!

by Maris Callahan on June 21, 2009

Until I turned fifteen, I had never experienced moving vans or packing cartons. I never endured acclimating to a scary, new elementary school where I wouldn't have anyone to sit with at lunch. Growing up, my family didn't move very often. We lived in one house from the time I was four years old until high school when we relocated to a larger house about five minutes down the road.

Since college, however, I've bounced around between a few different apartments, scouring Craig's List and trading furniture with my parents' basement. Whenever I've move to a new place, be it my family home, dorm room or a new apartment , I don't waste any time at filling shelves, hanging pictures and organizing closets. I like to get the packing and unpacking done and over with as fast as possible – even if it means back-to-back twenty hour days leading up to or following moving day.

When you're moving, it seems that no matter how well you've planned ahead, listed and labeled, organized and sorted, there will always be last minute fires that you need to put out.

It turns out that moving a blog is no different.

In Good Taste has a new home here at www.ingoodtasteblog.net.

You'll already notice some new changes and improvements around here (like my Amazon store! Go shop there!) and there are even more to come.

I love the new design as well! i ordered a much needed coffee pot from your site. What a nice perk for someone like me who is too lazy to go to the store!

Nice look! Do you have the option to change your header photo? I love the cherries!
I’ve been contemplating a blog makeover for a long time now. I think I need to do more than just think about it.

The new blog looks great! Moving is always such a project, online or off – you must be relieved to have it all (mostly) done. I look forward to more new changes. :-)

so pretty!! nice job on the move!
and I like the fact that you added your “must-haves.”
also, now knowing that you write at more than two other places AND a have full-time job…how do you have an active social life? I’m in awe.
