In other words the Earth is not sufficently massive for it's diameter (or volume) to cause space time to curve.

The Earth is massive enough to curve space-time: if it were not, there would be no gravity.
Since we do experience gravity, my first statement
"We all live in curved space so we don't notice it" has to be modified to:
We all live in curved space time and experience it as gravity.
