GIVE ADVICE ON HOUSE & HOME

I have 3 dogs, a fish, and a bird. Any tips to make the house smell better?

Can we start moving out of our house and into another, if the lease isn't up yet?

My husband and I are expecting a baby in February. So we found a newer and bigger place and plan on moving in by mid to end of December. We want to make sure we are settled into the new house before the baby comes. But, the only dilema is that the lease at our current house doesn't end until the end of January. That would be way too late to move while nearing the end of my pregnancy.
Is it okay to move out of the current house into the new house? The rent has already been paid for the month of January and our landlord told us, that if she can find a tenant or buyer for the house by then, that we would get the rent money back for the month of January plus our security deposit back.
We already have first months rent plus the security deposit paid at the new house, is this breaking the lease? Or is it okay because the rent is paid?
Please help, don't wanna lose any money, but we wanna be settled in before baby arrives.

WHAT TO DO NEXt?????????????

I will be retiring in another year.
I live in Brooklyn NY and want to move where there is not so much hustle and bustle going on.
No more than 1- 1 1/2 hrs from NYC, ok no more than 2hrs. What areas are nice and quiet
and pretty safe ( I know, not 100%) for a single woman. Also the cost of living would have to be less
