Our year of living differently

This blog has been created for the purpose of chronicling our year living in a small coastal town on the east coast of Tasmania, while my husband and I have leave from work, commence home schooling our two boys - and in March, welcome a new little baby girl into our family. 

It will be a learning curve for all of us but one that we are excited about. Our hope is that this year will be a time of interacting more closely as a family, building upon our relationships, living life more simply and enjoying a more relaxed pace of life. Living beside the ocean seems to facilitate a less hurried and a calmer approach to life. Our boys love the beach, as do we, and they seem happier and more settled when they can swim in the waves, draw in the sand, and skip along the shore, on a daily basis.  

We feel privileged to have this opportunity to live life differently to our "normal" for a year. It will be an interesting journey!
