Why Rabbit Hill?

Well, this is not a blog about a house. Not really. And there's no Rabbit Hill, yet. Instead, Rabbit Hill is a sort of metaphor for our dreams for the future, and this blog is designed to chronicle the path we're taking to get there. Who's "we"? Well, we is me, my husband and my son. Where are we going? Well, currently, my husband and I both work and my son is in preschool. In the next couple of years, we want to pay off our debt completely, finish renovating our current house, have another baby (or several) and move into a new, "forever" home. We call that forever home "Rabbit Hill." Why? Well, many years ago my husband dreamed that we found a beautiful old farmhouse called Rabbit Hill, and ever since, that's been our nickname for that idyllic future home. Oh, and I also plan on quitting my job and homeschooling our kid (and any future kids).

Needless to say, we've got a lot on tap for the next couple of years. We wanted somewhere to chronicle our journey that we could share with only selected people and, of course, any strangers who might happen upon this here blog.

So, as we go forward on this blog, we'll be sharing how we're progressing toward getting out of debt, what we're doing to save money and how we're renovating our current home. We'll also eventually chronicle what it's like to transition to life as a stay-at-home mom, how we're adjusting to homeschooling, future pregnancies, finding our Rabbit Hill and so much more. Glad to have you along for the ride.
