The Uptown Acorn Cottage {To Do}

Thanks for all the positive comments on my exciting announcement post from yesterday. It is nice to know that there are so many supporters out there in blog land.

By the way, J and I are not downsizing per se as we wanted a more manageable home. The home we are in now is way too large for us. The upkeep and the electric bills alone are staggering, and it is in need of major updates beyond our pocketbooks. It is high time after ten great years to move on to a more manageable home. J and I are not DIYers. We pay for everything! If only our dads were around to offer some free labor.... LOL!

Here is just a checklist I created for the outside:

Jena Street: To Do List

I am certain that there will be many more things added to this list on the outside.

Checklist, y'all!
