Our lil home.. Week one

Our first week in our Home Away from Home, our caravan, Which will be called "WILLI-WALKERS" as its both names of our family.


We have had no drama's towing or sleeping in the caravan. Actually, today we slept in until after 9 am, never in 12 years of being a parent, have my kids all slept in until 9am.. bliss!

We are currently staying at Charmaine and Tony's house in Tamborine, in the Gold Coast Hinterland. Charmaine is Tim's youngest sister. She is very hospitable, and lots of fun! We get on like sisters, and often tease Tim..its so much fun!
CHarmy and Tony have 2 girls, Tori & Shania.. they are just beautiful, I love spending time with them!



For the record, my nieces will proberly not be happy with these unflattering photo's!

SO far, we've been relaxing alot this week. As it turned cold we relaxed by the fire alot, this is my brother in law Tony and a friend Nathan.

Our caravan is a 5 birth, it has 3 bunks for the kids down one end.
Our bedroom is down the other end.
We have heaps of storage under our bed, as well as cupboards for our clothes, We have a fridge and mini freezer as well as a gas cooktop, and an outdoor BBQ, as you can see from the photo, we have an indoor table. (we have an outdoor bathroom, complete with lil tents for privacy) All squished up in 21 feet! Although we do have an annex, we are yet to set it up.
We are off to Helensvale caravan park next week, where the comforts of home will be gone, we'll definitely be living basically, which will be our theme for the next year.
  
Tim has been BBQing everyday, I think he will be sick of it very soon! Good job babe.
We have brought Jazz, our endearing pain in the rear end dog friend :) So far, she has been very well behaved, apart from scaring Buddy, her doggy cousin. Jazz has a tendency to run away. But so far she has been good. Lets hope she is as good for the rest of our adventures!

That's about it for this week. Hopefully, I'll be able to blog every Sunday, so look out for my posts!
Bye for now :)

Our Travels around Australia

On Tuesday the 9th of October, we officially started our travels around Australia..
Here is the lead up to our adventure:- 













                                                                      For what seemed like forever, I was packing, sorting, throwing things away, and sorting some more.. I officially hate moving! It was a sad thing for me as I had to sort out alot of Josh's possession's, and most were stored for so long {tools, shoes etc} I just had to throw them away. It was time to be practical. I did however find some old photos that made me cry..I would like to share them with on here, as this is our family blog, and I want to remember when and where I found these shots.. I can't believe my babies are so grown up now!
