We're moving to Canada!
Yes, that's right, the land of snow, moose and ice hockey! Being married to a Canadian, I guess this move has always been a little inevitable as Dave's desire to live in the 'mother country' has always been near the surface. So when the opportunity to purchase a property and business over there, we took it. We'll be running a boutique Lodge overlooking a beautiful lake in BC. It needs some TLC but we're up for the adventure! (I've started brainstorming ideas here on a Pinterest inspiration board!)
Due to the downturn in the real estate market we had to delay our plans by a year, but now there is no out - tickets are booked for a few months time, and we are preparing to leave the known for the unknown (arrrggghhh!! I'm going to miss so many people and things!).
I will still run my online store and continue to share creative living ideas here and maybe even fill you in on some of the journey of moving to another country. I'm also looking forward to connecting with a new circle of Canadian design & party girls (so, if you are one, please say hi!). And maybe being in the Northern Hemisphere, I might even make it to Alt Summit next year....a girl can dream!
I'm trying to live one day at a time, but I am a little nervous about travelling on a long haul with two children. Have you ever done a big overseas move? Do you have any tips or advice for me? xo

ReplyDeleteso exciting! I'm in Vancouver~your new pad looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to miss you - but what a fabulous adventure and opportunity it will be for you and your lovely family. Xx
ReplyDeleteI just read your blog for the first time and I have moved from Europe to the United States. I am much younger but still have some pretty good advice for moving to another country. Don't have expectations that are too high. Every country has flaws and soon you will probably find some things in Canada that you wish were the same as they are in the United States, but wishing that they were the same won't make you happy. Just go with it and find things that are new and exciting :) Good luck!!
