Hello.

I was always told that there was a certain order to how you are supposed to live your life. That it goes something like this – Get an education, get a job, meet someone that you love and that loves you, get engaged, get married, buy a house and move in together, have children and then quit your job to raise your children and grow old together while watching the cycle continue.

This may be true for approximately half the population, but I like to do the unexpected. I don’t believe that you have to have your ducks in order. My ducks were positively backwards and certainly lost. I say this because I have two children and a man child although we are not married, and we have just purchased our first home.

I’m starting this blog as a way of documenting the huge step and many challenges and changes we took as a family when we bought our first house. It’s going to be a way for us to look back and visually see what we have accomplished and where our hard-earned money has gone. I want to use it to see if there is anything I could have done differently or need to improve, not just with our home, but family life too.

I also hope this becomes somewhere you can go for creativity, inspiration and ideas and a platform for people to give me advice and tips too.

I hope you enjoy the journey

Sarah 🙂
