Thanks Sheena – no we haven’t done a house tour of our own yet with still some small bits and pieces to share. Perhaps saving the big home reveal up before we move.
I have shared our youngest sons room – Jimmy, if you search Jimmy’s Room or go to Kids Interiors on the blog.
Thanks for stopping by

Thanks Hannah, glad you liked it, although that makes me feel old you saying we brought so young – as it was so long ago now
No rush to get into the housing market these days, we were lucky that in 2003 things were a fraction cheaper.

Thanks Polly, glad you enjoyed the post. You sound just like us, sometimes keeping it small allows those other things in life that perhaps you wouldn’t have otherwise. We too love the experiences and memories as you have mentioned. Will be following your blog too – thank you for introducing yourself

Great to have found your blog! We are a family of five living in a small 100m2 house. We were looking at extending but decided the debt would be crippling – particularly at our stage in life. So we’ve opted to stay in our small house, renovate it and use our disposable income to give our kids experiences and create memories they will keep for life. Like you, there will come a time when we will need more space for teenagers and their friends – and we do have a plan b for that. But who knows what life will bring and where it will take us. I call it making a life or debt decision – here is the blog post I wrote: http://pollyunsaturated.com/2015/03/29/making-a-life-or-debt-decision/ Look forward to following you on your journey!

When we were looking for a house at the end of last year some of the houses we looked at were atrocious! Very uneven floors, way too small or no back yard! It’s funny how when you find the right one you just know! I am so excited for you guys, I can’t wait to come on this journey with you! xx
