When we tell ourseves that our friends and family will judge us poorly for the size home we have, we are judging their character based on the size of their homes. And, what are we saying about their character?

No hallways, all rooms are off the kitchen/dining (including the bathroom), we purchased our home cheap. Our reasoning was the land size (1 acre), the massive shed and back entertainment area. Once we took off the cost to buy those things brand knew the 3 bedroom home cost about $30 000. I go through fazes where I am embarassed by our home. Everyone has beautiful, huge houses, with 2 bathrooms 3 living areas, giant pantry, attached garages. Mine is quaint. 1 living room with a small toy room attached, 4 bedrooms, (we converted the garage into a bedroom and storage room, when I fell pregnant with number 4. We have plans to add a second living room and external games room for our billard table thats in storage. <br />We looked to sell a month ago for a bigger better place. But When it come to it I couldnt. This is our first real home. We had houses but our first home. My youngest was born here (30 min labour, and a woops your here early delivery lol) the carpets need replacing, But 4 kids under 9, that wont happen, ;p given their track record for spillages. Its small but its our home. I want my kids to come "home" when they are older, to memories, to laughter to cosiness. To show their kids I did this here. Not to a strange huge house. Plus It will be a lovely size when its just the Hubby and I. xxxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008150503803655799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127713456806970136.post-44974817507873416272012-06-19T11:08:46.653-05:002012-06-19T11:08:46.653-05:00God Bless You!

I often struggle when I see people who have so much (land in particular) that they never worked for and I just have our little house. BUt you are right! It is a blessing! Because we choose not to spend so much on a mortgage, I can afford to homeschool my children and my husband does not have to work excessively. Thank you for refreshing my heart today!kynostrosanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127713456806970136.post-42760641435555909152012-06-12T14:05:06.882-05:002012-06-12T14:05:06.882-05:00I love this post.

It really hits home with me as I just had relatives up who live in such nice, beautiful homes and mine is a small home that needs work. <br />I felt so awkward before they came up but once they got here, it hit me that they didn't come to see my house, they came to see me.<br />This post just sums it up beautifully. And also, reminds us to not judge people. (like I was judging my relatives....thinking they would think less of me as a person because of my home).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
