Over the years of raising my kids, I always felt our <a href="http://buyersoption.blogspot.com/2016/11/three-reasons-why-buying-real-estate-in.html" rel="nofollow">home</a> had to be "perfect looking" so that the other kids wouldn't poke fun. All it did was was cause unneeded stress and worry. I later learned that my kids loved our home the way it was because it provided comfort, and that's all that mattered.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10172928379865766967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598829358624157362.post-10867447757969501342016-08-26T16:26:23.434-05:002016-08-26T16:26:23.434-05:00Thanks so much Lisa!

While I love seeing the pictures of beautifully decorated homes, I often wonder if anyone really LIVES there!! I used to be one of those who wouldn't invite people over unless things were clean and just so, and then I realized we were missing out on so much!! And, truth be told that "perfection" actually made our guests uncomfortable. Not exactly how we want them to feel!!Simply LKJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691860606573110974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598829358624157362.post-3583755506300473242016-08-19T09:00:11.745-05:002016-08-19T09:00:11.745-05:00So perfect.
