Living our best lives through simple living

Empty nesters, living our dream life on a budget

We’re Anne and Damien from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and soon to be empty nesters.

Domesblissity.com was started by Anne back in 2011 as a way to document recipes and home hints for her children when they would eventually leave home. The last child is in their last year of high school and will fly the coop at the end of 2024.

It’s now time for Anne and her husband of nearly 10 years, Damien, to keep living this wonderful life they’ve created, on a budget, travelling to their favourite beaches and the rest of the world.

It hasn’t always been easy with deaths in the family, divorce, and the usual trials and tribulations of raising a family but throughout the ordeals we have always strived to achieve domestic bliss and this will continue into this next stage of our lives.

Check out the huge library of simple recipes, home hints and new adventures.
