30 Day Blog Journal

I started this journal not really thinking about doing one journal entry per day as it should be because I have not had the time to get on daily and I will be going away on Saturday to a sun shiny, party destination without the internet so I am doing ALL of the days in this post.

I know there is lots of information but I hope you will read and enjoy :)

Just a small place for 2....plus many children one day

This is it! Isn't it a beauty or something like this anyway and I may be building and living in my own home sooner than I thought :)
