On the Market

We are in the process of selling our home, in order to find a more suitable one for our family of five.

we moved into our beautiful little house (and I do mean little) with a 2 year old and a newborn, and quickly outgrew the space. We have endured living in a little over 1000 sq. feet and sharing one bathroom for all of these years and it isn't getting any easier.
The kids keep getting bigger as do their shoes, clothes and messes which inevitably end up EVERYWHERE!


I need some private space. I need adult only space. I need space for the kids to spread out. I need to be able to sit quietly an read a book. I need to be able to shower in peace without someone knocking on the door yelling "mom, I've got to go pee!".
In the last year I've nearly lost my mind, we are on top of each other and I can't endure it any longer.
As quoted by E "I need space!"

My newest challenge is keeping or little home spotless with three kids. So far so good, but stressful all the same.

Take a look at my beautiful kitchen!
I do love my kitchen!
But it's small

...and, It hasn't been this clutter free since we moved in.

...and look no toys shoes, backpacks or jackets in the living space either!

We've found a few houses we like but nothing we love.
My biggest fear is that we'll sell our house and have nothing suitable to buy.

Hopefully everything will go smoothly as planned and we will be in a new home sometime this summer.

But... as we all know life is unpredictable and we can only hope.

Good luck finding your next home and selling. How the heck do you keep the house so pretty with the three kids???

The pictures don't show the gouges in the floor from E's cars, the permanent fingerprints on the kitchen cabinets and the jackets, shoes, book bags and toys that usually clutter the space. I'm in constant nag mode trying to keep this house show perfect.

My kids and DH may move without me after this is over. LOL
