iMOM - Moms of Toddlers - Moving to a New Home: Part 1

My husband and I will be moving with our daughter and our yello lab Ginger. We have recently filed for bankruptcy because we decided it was the best decision for us considering what situation we were under with our mortgage. Yes, we are one of those couples, who rushed into buying a brand new home and then about two months after we moved in, the housing market crashed. And as a result we are upside down in out mortgage. Over the past two years, we tried everything from the Obama plan to applying for help to refinance through our mortgage company. With no luck what-so-ever. So here we are, getting ready to attend our court hearing, and once they have approved our bankruptcy it could be anywhere from 3 months to 8 months until we will have to move. When it happens though, I really would like to get our daughter prepared as much as possible for the move out of the only home she knows and into a new one. Maybe not even a permanent one. We may be renting an apartment or another house for a couple of years until we can qualify for a mortgage again. This article was vey helpful to help me get some ideas about how to prepare ourselves as well as our daughter for our upcoming move.
