Creating our dream home, 7 years in
I love our house and I find it hard to believe we’ve been here just 7 years. I still revel in the extra space we have inside and out compared to our previous house. And we continue making progress, even if most people don’t see it. I get the impression that people will only think we’ve made progress when we remove the lift.

How to have a healthier year than me
Just over a year ago I decided I wanted to get healthier, so last year was my year of health. Instead of new year resolutions I set a theme to get healthier and each week I added one small habit.

Family home – 6th anniversary (dones and not dones)
