Hi Kerrie. I live in the rate race of suburbia and would pick acreage any day, though I don't have kids yet so I'm not sure on what the differences would be. I think as long as your kids can go to school with other kids then they would be just fine. But if it's a financial decision as well then that's tough one.

I can think of nothing better than having all the privacy in the world and such a tranquil lifestyle. Sure it's great knowing that everything is close by in suburbia, but honestly I avoid shops when I can and do most day-to-day stuff over the net like paying bills/managing finances/chatting to you guys
