I recently moved out of my parents’ house and moved in with my boyfriend, and here are some things we have done and are learning to do in our new home. It’s been an exciting journey filled with new experiences and opportunities to grow together. One of the first things we did was to set up our space to reflect both of our personalities, finding a balance between our individual styles and preferences. We learned to compromise and make decisions together, which has been a great way to strengthen our bond.
Decorating our new home has been both challenging and rewarding. We had to combine our belongings and decide on the best layout for our furniture. It’s been a process of trial and error, but we’ve enjoyed every moment of it.
Learning to manage expenses and responsibilities has been an important aspect of our new life together. From grocery shopping to paying bills, we’ve had to work as a team and communicate effectively to ensure everything runs smoothly. Overall, the journey of moving in with my boyfriend has been filled with growth, love, and a deeper understanding of each other. We’re excited for all the adventures that await us as we continue to build a life together in our new home.
Meal Planning
Create a menu. Put your preferred meals and prep days in writing. Select dishes that are simple to prepare. Although most people cook on the weekends, the idea is to choose a day that works best for your schedule. Spend a few hours in the kitchen, minimum. Since my partner doesn’t eat in the morning, breakfast isn’t actually scheduled. Since we don’t have a cooker right now, we’ve been organizing our meals around our air fryer, which has made things very easy so far. We go to our local grocery store and purchase the items for the meals we have planned using a planner I got from Tesco’s. We know what we are having for the week, so I just find this method easier. Whoever finishes their task first can get started.
Balancing social and home life.
Our home is a shared space filled with mutual respect and cleanliness. We both take pride in maintaining a tidy environment, ensuring that any mess is promptly taken care of. Our division of chores is fair and balanced, with the cook taking on the dishes, and vice versa. We always reach mutual agreement on our activities and responsibilities, and communication is the cornerstone of our harmonious cohabitation. With open and honest communication, we ensure that our home is a place of comfort and joy for both of us.
Organization
Organizing my space has brought a new level of contentment and peace into my life. Having everything in its designated place not only makes my living space more aesthetically pleasing, but it also contributes to a sense of mental clarity and purpose. As I transitioned into my own living quarters, I realized the integral role that organization plays in the moving process. Prior to making the move, I meticulously drafted lists outlining essential items and taking stock of my possessions. This proactive approach not only facilitated a smooth transition but also alleviated any unnecessary stress.
In addition to physical organization, I also streamlined my digital life by unsubscribing from underutilized channels and apps with recurring payments. This helped me save money. Moreover, I diligently charted out my finances, ensuring that I was well-prepared to meet deadlines and cover various expenses.
SOOO, this has been where I’ve been, i have had a list of things to do and it has been a lot. I’ve been wanting to post for a while but didn’t have any motivation, hoping this will help me get out of this slump.
When I haven’t been at home i have been working! trying to balance everything has been very overwhelming but i am slowly getting through my list of jobs and thoughts of things i have been wanting to do or complete.
SO…this is where we part ways. I hope you enjoyed this piece.
