We just got back from the UK last night and we’re unpacking only to pack up again because next week we’re moving to Los Angeles!
This may seem a bit out of the blue, but we’ve been wanting to move to southern California for years. We decided that it was finally time to make the big move across the country and just make it happen. Kevin’s been traveling to LA about once a month for the past several months for work and it just feels like it’s finally time!
We’re going to be living in a little bungalow in Venice so we’re trying to sell a lot of furniture and other home decor items since we’ll have about half the space we currently have. If you’re local to Orlando, check out my Instagram sale to score a great deal on West Elm furniture and more! We’re going to spend the week packing and hope to hit the road the following week!
Oh and if you live in LA and know of a great barn to board a horse please let me know. I’m on the search for a great barn to board Justin, because yep, he’s going too!
Next week I’ll have some of my favorite bloggers sharing some great DIY projects and recipes right here on Sarah Hearts as we make our way across the country. And if you’ve made a long haul, cross-country move before please share any packing tips! We’ve never done a move this big before (and with a pup in tow too!) so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations on the big move! You’re going to love Southern California – and let me know if you’re ever in the Santa Barbara area! As for horses, Ojai is a beautiful place for riding, though it’s a bit out of the way from LA. Best of luck!
