Make sure to pack a first night box that has everything you might need during your first (and possibly second) night in the new house - fresh sheets, towels, scissors, batteries, chargers, lightbulbs, coffee, etc. Doing this was a lifesaver for me during my last move!

[@margaretorden7568]

I agree! Pack a bag like you’re going away for the weekend with Clothes, toothbrush etc.

[@GermanyandIllionis]

Good advice, too bad this was filmed on the 4th, two weeks ago lol

[@Zahh1998]

This is a genius idea! Taking note for any future moves 😂❤

[@mommab1969]

Don’t forget to bring toilet paper for the new house on moving day😂

[@ghostebyte]

That's a brilliant idea! I have to remember that when I move.

[@laurenwillis5186]

SO happy for you and Romeo, congrats on your new home!!!

[@xomacennavlogs]

thank you so much!

[@Xococoram]

Ahhhh i’m so happy for you 🥹🥹 I had an idea and wanted to say it out loud lol what if you guys turned the downstairs “bedroom” into an office/DIY studio? You have the washer and dryer right there for Romeo’s thrifted finds. A bathroom as well is right there for you MaCenna for DIY projects and to wash your hands if you need it. Also if all your power tools will be in the garage, it would also be quicker and easier access from the downstairs DIY room. And since you have a tub in the upstairs bathroom, you could put a dreamy tub in there and make it your primary bath and bedroom across the hall? Just a thought! Can’t wait to see all the move in updates and decorating vlogs 🥹❤️❤️

[@Pamkkw]

I just commented the same idea plus their bedroom will be closer to the nursery when baby arrives 😊

[@Xococoram]

@@Pamkkw yess!! Totally agree with you

[@sashac7002]

@@Pamkkw that's what I was thinking too!

[@jessicagreen2351]

Agree 💯. Also that way people can use the downstairs bathroom when you have people over (especially when people are over for pool days!) instead of either (a) going through your bedroom to get to the bathroom or (b) going all the way upstairs.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Great minds think alike:) I came to say the same thing!

[@indayefrel]

I know my suggestion won’t matter but… May I just suggest that you make the ground floor room as the office/studio instead? Because that would make so much more sense when you have guests over, they can use the bathroom without having to go through your bedroom. Also, you’d want to stay near the baby’s room upstairs eventually. Trust me on that 😅 The kitchen/ dining room could probably improve in space. If you’re open to just putting down that wall dividing the two spaces, then it would make so much more open space and gives you more room to entertain while cooking etc. Anyways! Congratulations on your new home!!

[@katl6428]

I would also use one of the bedroom upstairs due to noise. My partners and I's current bedroom also leads off right from our living room. I usually go to bed earlier/my Partner sleeps in longer. Theres so much noise and light coming through a door opposed to a wall, its crazy. Its very inconvenient I think.

[@Everythingsrosiehome]

ohhh I agree!!

[@SammLawlor]

Agree on all this, and adding too that we had our previous main bedroom right off our kitchen before and it was awful. Having your sleeping space right next to your main living space is bad for nights when there’s company, when you’re sick, or just want some space.

[@linatrevino272]

I agree. It’s more private on the second floor and yes you will want to be near your baby later on.

[@Moms1958]

That’s what I was thinking too.

[@missmikey]

NEW INTRO AND NEW HOUSE FOR THE NEW YEAR !!! 🥰 Hope you enjoyed your break and AAAAAAHHHH CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW CHAPTER MACENNA AND ROMEO! ✨💚

[@rosehughes599]

And Mama is officially part of the vlog now that she's in the intro!

[@farahiskandar6641]

yizopze

[@Annicaha]

Congratulations, I love the house!! So happy for you three 🥰 I might have a little suggestion, that you can completely ignore but I thought I would share it.😊Perhaps used Romeo's room as your bedroom if you are thinking about a nursery, you probably want to keep it close at night. Plus two wardrobes for you both. And it's dark and cosy with all the wondeful trees outside. I would love to sleep there. And maybe the downstairs bedroom to be Rome's room, with the washer and dryer just there. Plus it could double as an extra bedroom when new family has arrived and o mum is coming over. Plus it might feel better to have guest use the downstairs bathroom if it was not in your bedroom. Then make the garage into Macennas business (if it's not needed for cars). Wonderful to have you back!

[@Pamkkw]

Just left the same suggestion 😊

[@amara560]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@johanseferlis9710]

Or if you really want the room downstairs you could move just the washing machine and dryer to somewhere you could easily install it upstairs and make the current spot Romeo’s closet. Could make more sense in that case.

[@johanseferlis9710]

@@denisejones1863 Yeah I get not wanting it in the garage as it may feel a bit too disconnected to the house, or even a bit dirty for your clean laundry. But upstairs in a closet close to a bathroom where you can easily pull plumbing from could perhaps be an option.

[@burnskh2351]

I have a couple of suggestions.......for what they are worth. The primary one is to reconsider the primary suite if you plan to have kids in the future, the child(ren) will be scared being so far away, but also having to trek up and down stairs during their formative years will definately take its toll on "Mom and Dad". The second suggestion is about how to eliminate curtains on the french doors. There is a spray frosting product that will give privacy, but also allow the light. Worth considering.

[@ih458]

So happy 😊 that you're back!!!! 3 weeks was an eternity!!!

[@xomacennavlogs]

it felt like SOOOO long for me too!

[@dawnwesterbeck346]

I think I suffered mild depression. LOL

[@mackenzie7517]

Congrats on the new house! I will miss the apartment. I found your channel in this apartment. This apartment inspired me to paint my cabinets, change my hardware, get pretty bookshelves like the one in your entry, customize my entire closet with shelving... and also just where "we" hung out every week for 2 years. Lots of great memories here! ❤ goodbye apartment!

[@lauramitchell6725]

My first episode was her changing the hardware and saying that she would just change it back when she moved,wonder if she did.🤔😅

[@Pamkkw]

I feel like the downstairs bedroom would be better for Romeo’s office with the washer/dryer unit plus you’ll want to be near the nursery when baby arrives and that room upstairs with all the closets looked much bigger 😊 can’t wait to watch you make this house your home!!! Congratulations!

[@CD-rs5iz]

Fully agree! Plus Romeo could use the downstairs closet for his stock clothes (even this is a very nice closet and I can understand that Macenna would like to have it for herself😂)

[@nadias6435]

Im turning 35 as well this year AND moving into 1st house this year (and the starting a family part too). I've dreamed about having my house and garden pretty much all my life. I designed the layout for the build and we will be finishing all our own interiors, so thanks for inspiring us with all your videos.

[@eviep2]

A tip for saving on moving boxes. Call the overnight assistant manager at stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot and ask them to set aside whatever number of cardboard boxes you need and the specific sizes. As they stock shelves they will set aside those for you to pick up in the morning. You can also call during the day but a lot of stores do the bulk of stocking overnight. Also, large Ikea bags are fantastic for moving and they are pretty strong.

[@katzama12]

This! Just be careful with produce boxes, have found some big boy spiders in them!

[@deantinak6310]

Best boxes for books are liquor boxes! I also recommend buying some clear plastic containers, IKEA best price. You can use them for storage.

[@RaeC5280]

I couldn't be happier for you two! Thank you for inviting us along on this amazing new chapter of your life. ❤️

[@ReadAndThrift]

To anyone moving the easiest way to move clothes on hangers is to put a garbage bag under them and transport that way. So easy and everything can stay on the hangers. So excited for you both!! I’m obsessed with your house ❤

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

Yes!!!! And make a home and knot for hangers and underneath. Saves so much time.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I’ve done it this way many times, too (probably the easiest). If I don’t have big garbage bags, I’ve also left them on the hangers & wrapped them in a big sheet. This works great as a plan B:)

[@hahna77]

I tie the hangers together with a rubberband, and then poke a small hole in a garbage bag and slide it over the hung clothes, about 8 per bag. Makes it so much easier.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

@@hahna77 yes! This is the best way to do it! Great minds think alike 😊

[@SolarSundays]

Congratulations on finding your dream forever home!!

[@xomacennavlogs]

thank youuuuuu

[@saramurai1220]

Congratulations MaCenna!!! You don’t have to rush babies. I am 37 and my first born is due in May. When the timing is right it will happen.

[@lauramitchell6725]

Close to age forty is when many have children with Down Syndrome,don’t wait too long.

[@tattoosorbenaked]

If you ever have to move clothing again i suggest getting large trash bags cut a small hole at the bottom for the hangers to fit through. Put the clothing in and tie the bottom to save boxes

[@palilylee6357]

Me thinking I was the only one with a box full of candles when I moved only to see MaCenna with a box full herself made me feel not so alone. Congrats on the beautiful home!

[@sydohbaby]

I worked at bath and Body works for 6 years, I have definitely packed 100 candles and been judged 😂

[@amandatyler]

So excited for you! This video made me feel ALL THE THINGS, I found your channel when I got pregnant and now I'm watching this as my one year old sits next to me eating lunch in his high chair. Something about new beginnings and how far we have come just made me feel so emotional in the best way. Whatever this next chapter of your life brings, I wish you nothing but the best! ♥

[@blamelyss]

This is proof that working hard pays off, Macenna you are such an inspiration❤

[@janegould7403]

I do love those bathroom tiles and think they would look much better with brass taps and a better mirror and lights.x

[@lauramitchell6725]

Yes,do the hardware first,it may change the whole look of the tile.

[@jackiefoster2057]

MACENNA! First off I am so thrilled for you guys! My family thinks we're friends because of how much I talk about what you're doing in your life haha. It's great. To own a home in LA what a dream! That's on my list as well with my boyfriend so when we saw the video out we both sat down together and watched :) It's beautiful!

[@randyw4984]

CONGRATULATIONS! the house is a dream...that laundry so close to where you are going to put clothes away....Try it out before you change it. So Happy for you guys.

[@jenniferwilson2250]

You and Romeo are Rockstars!! 3 days to pack up your apartment!? I am so happy and excited for you both. I'm looking forward to "all the things" in your home. ;-) Congratulations!!

[@1candy4u]

This is such a cute home!! I’m so excited for you!! You might find out that having the nursery on a different floor is gonna suck after you have a baby but I hope it works out okay for you guys haha. 😂

[@donnawisner1481]

Ultimately making it easier for the the movers will make it easier for you guys in the long run. So happy for you. Had tears in my eyes listening to you cry with happiness!!

[@gudeliamorilla1354]

Macenna, have you given thought to having the dinning room a long with your family room and turning your dining room into a breakfast room. I think the wall of art can be in your small dining room . Cannot wait to see what you guys will do to the house!

[@laurafisher6531]

I’ve been thinking about your lay out from your main channel video and wondered if u could use the primary downstairs room as your office and then guest could use the en-suite downstairs off the primary then you have your primary in a upstairs room. Just a thought. Congratulations the house is beautiful 🎉

[@caroledwards1182]

Love, love, love you new home! Just a thought regarding the doors leading to the master bedroom. If you love the curtain idea then great, bur another option would be do frost the glass. Anyway, excited for you!

[@tammye6905]

Yayyyy! So thrilled for you and Romeo. 🥳Your new home is adddddddorble, adorable like you both ❤❤love your spirit! 🌞

great thing about all the greenery is it's going to keep your house like 20 degrees cooler than everywhere else in the summer!

[@lcuellar1991]

The diving wall of the dining room and kitchen on the dining room side would be a perfect place for the art.
