"Moving-in with In-laws!" Series

We were driving our mini van home from Christmas vacation. My husband and I had a side chat with an idea of us all living with our mother in-law and father in-law. I wasn't against this idea. I get well along with my in-laws. They adopted me in the family like a daughter, so the idea of us in one place doesn't scare me one bit.

It was just a playful idea. One month later, we found ourselves buying/building a new home from the scratch that would cater 2 families combined. The idea was to combine our resources to get our dream house that ends up costing the same as what we were paying right now.

I like our current house, but it is not the house I imagined to function for our lifestyle. We have done a lot to make it more updated and livable. There will be a hint of sadness because I felt I failed to execute everything I wanted for this house. But I guess, there's someone who would love the layout of this house and not change how it was supposed to be built.

prepping to paint the cabinets from oak stain to white.



Now, I am on time crunch to do the best I can to complete renovating our bathrooms in small budget but does not compromise the design. I want the future owners of our current house to fall in love with it the way we did when we first bought it.

With all what's happening and responsibilities of homeschooling, taking care of toddler twins and started a small business, it's going to be a rough few months. But all in all, we are in awe of how much our hard work and patience was blessed.

Sincerely yours,
