I'm a mum of four ranging the spectrum of ages, who after living in the city picked up our stuff sold up our house, left our business & moved to semi-rural Victoria 4 years ago & haven't regreted a thing.  My partner of 23 years is a jeweller & I make hand made toys & we try & live as self sufficiently as we possible can.  The less money we have to spend the better.  Two of our children go to a Steiner School one in year 8 Phoebe & 7 year old Perry who is now in grade 2 this year.

My other two Otto is 3 & Lottie our latest edition is 7 months born on 8/8/08.  I would have loved ideally to have 6 kids as it is my lucky number, but I pushed the bounderies with numerous health issues so all my births have been c/sections & I have been told definitely no more. Also I have to start looking at how old I will be when all the kids have left home.

We live with our dog, chickens & duck on 1/2 an acre with a beautiful outlook in a little old house, we have alternative views & try not to conform to the mainstream lifestyle.  So I enjoy being an at home mum in this lovely little enviroment we have made for ourselves that will for ever morph & transform.
