Mixed feelings…Betty for sale. Please share.

So, here it is! The time has come. The official time that our beautiful Big Betty, home from heaven on wheels, built for 6,  and extraordinary memory holder of over 3 years, is on the market! I must admit, I feel rather emotional for the first time since we made the big decision! When we...

Here it is. It’s official. We are crazy.

So, if you follow us on FB or IG, we have kept you in suspense while you all guessed why on earth Betty would be so clean, tidy and..... empty! Well, this is super duper exciting for us! Drumroll....... So, it happened like this: We were in the USA/Canada just a month ago, and as...

Don’t know what to get Mum this Mother’s Day?

You are at a loss. No idea. Drawing blanks. Please don't go down the road of yet another foot spa, dressing gown, socks, a mug. If you are looking for something to show mum you love her, I've got just the thing. As a mum of four, I dream about what I would like to...

3 Years with Betty as our home…

Can you believe it? I know I can't. Facebook was so kind as to remind me that today is 3 years since we let Esperance on our maiden voyage in Betty. I remember our first night away from "home" ( in our new home with wheels) so clearly. We stayed at Bromus dam, on the...

And then there were 4…

First day of homeschooling 4 kids today. We nearly died. True story. Since we hit the road almost 3 years ago, we have tried quite a few different schooling options for the kids. First it was totally free-styling it- we were on quite the budget too. So we found books in op shops (readers Digest...

USA gave me…..perspective.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I was half way around the world. It seemed surreal to me, sitting in my hotel room. I had no hiccups with flights and airports, and I should have been over the moon. From travelling Australia to travelling the world, my life on paper sounded amazing! But I felt,...

But Beck…How do you run your online business on the road?

I get a lot of messages asking me how do I do it? Homeschool 3 kids, look after a fourth pre-schooler and build a successful full time dōTERRA Diamond business, all while not having a permanent home? So I thought it's time for a blog about it! Most of this stuff will apply to anyone...

The time we couldn’t afford a block of cheese….

Karl and I have been through many levels of income in out 14 years of marriage. When we first got married, he was on a low tradesman wage and I was working full time at McDonalds. But having no kids, we did ok. Then our daughter came along, the apple of our eye. I stopped...

All the travelling ladies…..Can I get an Uh-Huh.

  I have had a recurring theme in my life lately. I think feelings have been brought up by a wedding, a couple of other special occasions, and GASP about 5kg of additional junk in my trunk. It may be more.... but who's measuring, right? Obviously not me... (cough cough). There are some SERIOUS problems...

Feeling a little helpless, from 4500km away.

Yesterday (Anzac Day) was a crazy long, stressful day for us as a family. And it hasn't let up since.If you are interested, this is the light run down... We woke at 2am and it seemed the ugly kidney pain Karl has suffered with for the last week or so was back. We have been...
