Just in our county alone there were 88 homes for sale with the criteria of . .
1. at least 4 bedrooms
2. a garage
3. a basement
Now for the shocking part ................................... of those 88 homes only 11 had less than 3,000 sq ft. and only 6 were under $200,000. Several of these homes had 7,000-9,000 sq ft.
and even more SHOCKING was that most of these homes did NOT show any signs of children living there. So my question is what are they doing with all that wasted space??????????
NOW for my reality:
We live in a home with a little more than 1,600 sq ft. We have 4 small bedrooms and two bathrooms. Soon we will have NINE people living in this house. One of those children in a wheelchair. Our home is also NOT handicap acessible. We will have SEVEN children using ONE bathroom. We don't even have enough room in our kitchen for a table that seats our entire family.
BUT you know what????
There is a lot of love in our home and I would not trade that for anything!!
My advice for all of those with oversized homes . . . . . . . . . .
START ADOPTING OR FOSTERING CHILDREN
(You need a little more love to fill your home)
OR
Give me your house so I have space for more kids
(just kidding!!)
What are you doing with your extra square footage?
filling it with "things" or filling it with "love"??
