I decided to create this blog because my husband Sid and I want to make some major changes in our lives.
We have one daughter who just got married and will be moving to NYC this summer.
We have a son who is a junior in high school.
We have a daughter who is a freshman in high school.
We have a son who is in the sixth grade.
We live in a mostly beautiful 25-year-old home on a quiet court with a huge wedge-shaped backyard, which we partially filled with a pool three years ago.
This is our home. Pretty, huh. It's a lot of work updating (one bathroom left!) and maintaining the home and the yard with three busy kids and three cats inside.

Anyway, once we get the last chicklet out of the nest, we plan to downsize from the home and all of the trimmings to something like this:

Our long-range plan is to sell our home, let our kids have any furniture they want, and move full-time into a fifth-wheel RV. YAY!
It will be a used rig, because those things depreciate like crazy! We have a HUGE consignment lot near us that always has used RVs for sale - many of them are less than a year or two old. I've seen some really great renovations on RVs - which will happen because many of the RV manufacturers' design teams must be color-blind and permanently stuck in the eighties.
We want to move about four times a year so that we have plenty of time to check out our surroundings, which I want to be near amazing national and state parks so we have plenty of time to hike and explore. I'd really like to work from home - wherever that is at the time.
It's going to take a lot of paring down to fulfill our dreams...
Thanks for joining me on the journey!
