Hi, I’m Kali I am a young mama of 3 beautiful girls and a homemaker. I am married to a great guy that can luckily do everything I dream up!! We are kind of in limbo at the moment in the home department. About two and a half years ago we bought a little 1344 sq foot fixer upper. We knew it wasn’t our “forever” home, but we put a lot of love into it. 2 short years into it on a whim we decided to post it for sale with the mindset that if it sales it sales if it doesn’t we still are happy here. Within 3 days of listing it we had not one but two offers. I’m not sure I was quite ready for it. We’re still in the closing process but that closing date is sneaking up on me fast. So I still get to enjoy my little house just with half of it in boxes. So the next step where do me and my little family go from here you ask … A trailer I know I know the stigma that surrounds trailer living is not a good one, but it’s not forever and with my ideas and my husbands handiness we can make anything cute just you wait. There is a lot of logic that went into this decision. live in the trailer for a few years save save save and then build our home with little to no mortgage. I don’t know about you, but if spending a few years in a trailer could leave our family potentially debt free I’m all about that. And my husband with the great faith he has in me tells me I can make anything beautiful. I guess we’ll definitely be testing that theory!! Well that’s a little about me!!! I’m excited to read everyone else’s stories!!!
Wow Kali! Good for you. Sounds like you have a great plan and vision to get there. I’m sure you will make your new little place a great home for your family 🙂
Thanks Amy, I sure hope so we have a ways to get there but I am excited about the journey along with a TON of other emotions!!!
Congrats on the quick sale! I wish you all the best for the next step: deep breath, you will do great things!
Valerie,
Thank you for the incouraging words I will need a lot of them throughout this month!!!
Kali it doesn’t matter where you live only the people that live with you. I think you are doing a really smart thing. And also teaching your daughters a valuable lesson. Good for you.
I am sure you are feeling all kinds of emotions right now, but you are doing a great thing for your family! Your husband will have the financial weight lifted, your girls will learn that saving pays off and this will be a time that you will bond as a family. Good for you. I can’t wait to hear about all your new adventures!
Oh, I love your story! As long as you live true to your heart and mind, your home will be filled beautiful life. Can’t wait to see photos of your new place!
You are inspiring! Love the pictures you shared. What a wise young woman you are. Planning for a solid future with your husband is definitely the way to go. Wishing you lots of love and happiness in your new home.
Hey, we have the same table and chair set! 🙂 Best wishes on your new adventure.
Kali, I can tell by the pictures that you’ve got a talent for beautiful rooms, wherever they are. I admire you and your husband for taking this step to establish a firm financial standing. It will pay off in the end!
