When we moved in here I was all about security. I wanted to know the home security system features and where the locks hooked in and what the best escape routes were from every room in the event of a fire. I think it’s because I had never lived in an actual house before, only a condo, and knowing I’d be staying at home with the baby all day in a stand alone house while my husband was at work was tough to think about. I love being a mother and knowing what my day is going to entail and I have to say that it’s become a lot easier since we moved into a bigger space. There were definitely days I wanted to go crazy living in the condo because it was really, really small for the three of us but I pushed through and I’m glad I did so I could afford a bigger house at the end of it. I wish I had had this outlook from the get go so it didn’t seem to take so long!
