This is the life

“Once those blinds rise in the morning, it’s all systems go!” says homeowner Elisa. On a typical day, her five children aged eight to 16 head to school and husband Adam works in the office. After school, son Jack might do some exercise, Will and Taye play beach footy, Dane goes fishing and Ellie is on the trampoline or in the pool. In summer, dinner is often eaten outside. “We love the openness of the alfresco area,” Elisa says.
