We are going to buy milk, eggs, and bread. But other than that, I’m going to try to just use up what we already have here.
I’ll be posting an update every evening this week (through Friday evening), sharing what meals we came up with based upon what we already have on hand. I already have our basement pantry packed up, so this is going to make it even more of a fun challenge.
Want to join us? If you plan to join us for this Impromptu Eat from the Pantry Challenge, leave a link to your blog below. And then come back every evening and I’ll have a link-up for you to share what you ate from the Pantry that day. This should be interesting — and I can’t wait to see what you come up with to make!
We’re moving to Tennessee next week, so this week is focused on wrapping up the packing, last-minute details, and more goodbye get-togethers.
Last week was a hard week for me. I think the reality of the move really sunk in and I had to process and grieve what we’re leaving behind. I shared the above picture on Instagram and said:
Half of my house is now officially in boxes and ready to be moved to TN. It’s been a bittersweet week of goodbyes… But these flowers on my kitchen table remind me of the beauty of new beginnings, new adventures, and new community that is ahead. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement as we take another leap into the unknown and trust God to continue to guide us one step at a time.
I’m so grateful for the memories we’ve made in Kansas and the wonderful five and a half years we’ve had to live so close to family. Ever since we moved back in 2008, we felt like our time here was probably just a season, so we’ve tried to really treasure our time here. And we’re so very grateful for it!
After a week of processing, I woke up today feeling really excited about the future… There are many doors of possibility and opportunity awaiting us in TN and God has confirmed over and over again that this is where He’s leading us. So I’m looking forward to what’s in store for our family as we make this move. Whatever lies ahead, I know it’s going to be an adventure!

I love wall decals! They are such an easy, mess free, and inexpensive way to dress up a room.
Cozy Wall Art is a small group of parents who have joined together to create family-friendly vinyl wall decals. They create and cut all of our wall decals out of their tiny Texas studio. They believe that everyone should have a home they love without spending a lot of money!
They allowed me to choose one wall decal and I chose the Cherry Blossom Triptych shown above. I LOVE it and can’t wait to put it on the wall in our new house when we move to Tennessee next week!
