Making our House a Home

Ever since we moved in, we have been treating this house like a temporary home since we had planned on buying this summer. Well, life had other plans and who knows maybe it's for the better. Regardless, I decided it's time to truly make our house more "home" like. This means actually decorating and getting simple things that I've been putting off because "we might not need that in our new home". It's pretty exciting to actually get to work on this to give everyone a little bit of comfort, plus it will keep us busy. Since Jason is home during the day now I have decided he gets to do most of the house work so my "honey-do" list has become a lot of different ways to make this feel more like home. Part of m wis afraid to get comfortable here, despite the fact I know we're not moving anytime soon. Every time in the passed like six years I've gotten comfortable somewhere we end up moving right after it and I'm not going to be very happy if that's the case with this house as well. This house is pretty good for our family right now, we have enough bedrooms and a basement for storage-it's not like were really squished in here, it's just human nature to always want more. Part of becoming a minimalist is learning to use what you have and that includes our house. Now, don't get me wrong I don't see this being a house we can live in forever-five girls in one room when they're five and under is okay, but when they're 16, 14, and 12 in the future it won't be as easy. So part of this is to save money for the future and get a bigger house that our future 16 year old daughters can fight over the bathroom in. Just the thought of that slightly freaks me out(by slightly I mean it's super worrisome). Anyway, I have very important things to do now, like help with homeschool and tell Jason how to use our washer(I wish I was kidding). See you guys in March!
