EDIT - Now a 'work at the local school' mum a few days a week while juggling the job of parenting 3 teenagers! I am a SAHM who does work from home occasionally, dedicated to raising 3 Godly, independent, healthy children. Loving the home building process though it is not without challenges. I have fairly free reign over the creative aspect of the project...just not the financial side!

Garden lighting FINALLY

Today marks 6 years since we moved into our new house. Time flies! And the house definitely does not feel new anymore. All along I have wanted to light up our beautiful garden that Hayward Landscapes designed and constructed. We engaged the services of a local company, Interlight, after seeing his own property lit up when visiting a friend. Here are some photos though I don't think they really do it justice.

The garden a year on

Not much has changed at all in the last 12 months though we did repalce our struggling camellias down the side of the house with some gardenia bushes. We hope they like the soil more than camellias. Our hibiscus trees did not like the frost of the past winter at all and pretty much lost all foliage, looking very sickly. As you can see, they have bounced back beautifully again, providing us with privacy from our neighbours.
