Our drive to Beautiful Ocean Grove...

Shane was as cool as a cucumber as we drove along towing our caravan, me on the other hand, I had my eye's closed for part of the time praying to God to keep us safe. It was quite scary towing a caravan for the first time!
Getting closer...


Thank God after a bit of a daunting drive, we arrived safe and sound at our beloved Ocean Grove, Yay, Yay, Yay! Bring on the sunshine, beach and ice cream :-)

Goodnight, I'm hopping into my cosy bed!
Take care,

Leaving Macedon...

Our final morning at Macedon started with feeding and patting the ponies...

Then we packed up and hitched and towed our caravan for the first time...

 And off we went, back on the road again...

Thanks again to our WONDERFUL Macedon neighbours who were a God send....They helped us sooooo VERY much, Thank You :-)

To Be Continued..........

The Girls Love the Ponies...
We met a few GREAT people in Macedon. Our Macedon neighbours in particular have been VERY helpful to us regarding many different things about caravan living and towing.  Our neighbours are also going to inspect Shane's first attempt at hitching our caravan tomorrow morning and make sure we have done it correctly.
Our Macedon neighbours have so much knowledge about caravans and travelling and they are more than happy to help.
Thank You to our lovely and very helpful Macedon neighbour's and Thank you to God for always surrounding us with GREAT people.
Hopefully we will see our Macedon neighbours again throughout our travels!

Goodbye Macedon...

Goodnight,
Dimi :-)

The Travelling Bible...

My Bible at Macedon, Victoria...
When I was having a chat with one of the school mums last week, she asked if we had a mascot of some sort to photograph around Australia...I didn't. However, as soon as she asked, a thought came straight to my mind...my bible. I will photograph my bible all around Australia and in each and every area we go to, we will cover that area in prayer and claim that area for God.
We will spread His Word and His Love around Australia 😊
I've added the first bible photo at Macedon above!
God Bless You and Take Care,
Dimi xo

Can't wait...

...only 2 more nights and we will be leaving Macedon and hitting BEAUTIFUL Ocean grove, YAY, YAY, YAY!

We have been soooo busy every single day while the girls have been at school. We have had to tie up many loose ends and it has been very exhausting. We are looking forward to some quality family time together, hitting the beach and some relaxation. We need some beach, relaxing, family time so we can feel rejuvenated. The last few months have been an exhausting and emotional roller coaster and now its time to get off this roller coaster and get on the next ride ...the ride of our lives :-)

So if you would like to, please pray for us to be ready to leave Macedon on Tuesday morning, pray we hitch and tow the caravan safely, and pray we drive safely and arrive safely to our next destination. We haven't yet towed the caravan before so its a bit daunting :-0

Thank You and Take Care,

Goodbye School, Goodbye Parents...

Yesterday was the last day of school for our gorgeous girls. The girls seemed to cope with it really well which was good! I of course cried and cried!
After the final assembly for the year we took a heap of pics with friends, teachers and our AWESOME Goonawarra Principal and we said our goodbyes to our school families and friends.
We will all miss being part of this AMAZING school (Goonawarra primary school), it is a GREAT school, with GREAT teachers, a GREAT principal and full of GREAT families!
So goodbye Goonawarra, Thanks for everything :-)


We also had our final goodbye dinner with our parents, my sister and our niece and nephews. We took a heap of pics and the kids enjoyed hanging out with each other. The kiddies were full of giggles and smiles, it was lovely to see.
It was especially hard for me to say goodbye to my mum and my sister, and yet again, I cried and cried, which made them both cry and cry...We are a bunch of sooks! 
Goodbye Family, Thanks for everything, we love you xoxox




We've had to say goodbye to so many people and so many things the last few months, it has been emotionally exhausting, but it needs to happen so we can continue on this journey.

Have a good one :-)

GREAT People...BEAUTIFUL Blessings...

There are Sooooo many GREAT people around and we have been so VERY blessed lately, we seem to be encountering them at every corner and I THANK GOD for that!

On Thursday, shane and our girls were booked into the VERY BEST hair salon in Sunbury and possibly even Victoria, maybe even Australia (Hairhouse warehouse in Sunbury Square). We all turned up to the hair appointments and the lovely hairdresser as always did a FANTASTIC job with shane's hair and our girls hair...Check out the pics of the girls...




The girls got haircuts, and the lovely ladies also braid and glitterize their hair for them. I love how they go above and beyond at hair house warehouse in Sunbury. They really have some very talented and friendly hairdressers!

After chatting to the owner for a little while about our journey (I often have a bit of a chat with the ladies at the salon) she VERY kindly gifted our girls with a hair straightener each :-0 Oh MY GOSH, we were in SHOCK! I truly thought she was just joking when she offered the straighteners to our girls. 
After we thanked her, we then moved on to pay for our haircuts and she told us not to worry about paying...WHAT!! I didn't know what to say, We were SHOCKED yet again! 
We would never expect that to happen! We couldn't believe it, what a beautiful act of kindness, so EXTREMELY generous. 

Thank You God for GREAT and BEAUTIFUL people who seem to be all around us..
Thank You Hairhouse Warehouse in Sunbury, your kindness warmed all our hearts and it is GREATLY appreciated xo

 Thank You and Take Care,
Dimi, Shane, Elissa, Serena xo
