I 'Googled' the name of the house we are building with Porter Davis and found all these blogs of people in very similar circumstances to us. I thought 'what a great idea! What a fantastic way to keep a record of our progress.' So here is my attempt. We are a family of 6 building a just-right sized house west of Melbourne. Feel free to travel along with us.

About Me

I'm a woman with many interests but very few skills. I'm committed to trying to make the world a better place and one that we can share peacefully. I want people to be respectful thinkers. I have a husband but I don't think that defines me. I also have kids who I love dearly and am so proud of. We have a dog.

12 months on and the family is all grown up!

Where did that time go?

Well so much for that idea!!! I was going to ramble on about the joys of being at home with a young baby, blah blah blah. All of a sudden 12 months has just flashed by!
Things have been very busy, but at the same time most enjoyable. Nellie is 13 months old now and running around with the kids and the dog (that was another addition to our family). I have returned to study and have taken on 12 hours a week work as an aide at the kids' school. This is helping to pay for the block of land we bought in May and the Porter Davis house we signed up to build this week. If I get enough time I might blog a bit about how that goes.
