House Hunters Exhaustion & Editable Bright Stripes Schedule Cards
My husband and I recently started looking to purchase our first house. Right now, we have a little condo on the lake. We’re spoiled. It’s beautiful here and although I don’t want to leave, I can’t keep making teaching materials on the couch with my laptop. I need an office – a real office. So, our search has started.
It’s horrible. In the past few weeks I’ve learned that house hunting is nothing like HGTV makes it out to be. They don’t give you 3 beautiful homes within your price range and let you talk it over in a cute little cafe until you choose one.
So, we went to meet with a builder today. It would be great to be able to pick out everything I like right? Well, this particular builder we went to meet with will not be the one to build our house. “Oh, you want a roof with your house? That will be an upgrade.” “Ohh….you want door knobs on the doors? That’s an upgrade.” “You want a wall on your bedroom? Upgrade.”
(Okay, I’m exaggerating. But we’ll just say…I was frustrated haha!) Needless to say, we are taking a tiny break until I convince the Property Brothers to become my best friends and renovate a house for us. 🙂 🙂
I was touched by all the positive feedback I received from my daily schedule ribbon that I created last week for my room. Many of you asked where I got it from, so I wanted to take a minute and share with you the pack I created to go with this.
I love your editable schedule cards! I love the idea of using Velcro.

I love your schedule cards. I was looking at them again last night. The ribbon is a great idea. Did you use the sew-on Velcro on the ribbon or does the sticky Velcro adhere to the ribbon? Good luck in the house hunting!!

These are absolutely adorable. It's a cute spin on putting together the class's daily schedule. 🙂 Plus, with velcro, the kiddos can help you change them out! 🙂 I would love a copy of these; you're awesome!

Cute!! I love HGTV, but I feel like it's giving me unrealistic expectations when the times comes for my husband and me to buy a house! Good luck!

(Oh and also — I looove HGTV. I keep dreaming that my first home purchase will be like that one day :P)
We ended up going with a new house, which was nice as we could do everything the way we liked. Get what you want now…don't try to add it later.
Suzy, great advice! 🙂 Thank you!! 🙂
Lol, love your description! I think I'll just stick to watching the shows 🙂
PS, these cards are super cute!

I know its past the five…but I do love your idea and drove to a Hobby Lobby today to find the ribbon to try to imitate your masterpiece….but A'las they had no Dr. Seuss ribbon I was so mad. Needles to say I missed the post because I started making Trufula trees and lost track of time. It is a great invention and totally beats the ugly pocket charts…Thank You…..

Mia, check your email. 🙂
It's hard to consider moving out of your cozy home with your description. However, your need for additional space convinced you to find a new place. Though it's hard to leave the place you've loved for years, I'm sure you'll find another place to create new memories. Well, how's your house hunting experience so far? 🙂
