I think one of the reasons our small space works for us is that both Trevor and I work full-time right now.  Our time together as a family is precious and feels too little at times, so the fact that we are always a few feet from each other doesn’t seem like a burden but instead like we are the luckiest. 

Now don’t get me wrong, with a little toddler boy “discovering” (ie. destroying) anything he can get his hands on, it’s not all cuddles and cozy book reading but our tiny space let’s us stay close and really enjoy our time as our little family of three.
