    Talking Helloo, from a Kiwi soon to be Brisbanite :D

    Helloo, I'm new Well actually, I just tried to join, and couldn't because I apparently already was... turns out I did back in July 08. Who knew. Oh well, this time I'm taking the big leap into actually a) posting and b) being conscious while joining (Not *quite* as funny as that little man appears to think.)

    Ummm, so my name is Sarah, I have two little boys, one is 5, a smart lil cookie who is currently homeschooled. The other turned 3 today and yesterday was assessed as being at a developmental age of 18 months... so we're working through that. He doesn't have any words so we're already doing speech therapy & Early Intervention therapy but we're adding Occupational Therapy and a bunch of other stuff to that now!

    Have used cloth nappies since my first was a few weeks old, and started working for myself when he was about 18 months. That's kept me busy ever since

    What else... both boys were homebirthed and number two was a lotus birth... we live in a tiiiiiny little town I like to call hicksville (around 1,000 people).

    Aside from homeschooling and working I like to garden (veges & fruit, I suck at flowers. Actually I suck at veges and fruit too, but I perservere more with them.), keep my chooks, swim, read, write, knit (like a monkey), sew (not a whole lot better), and stab stuff. Err, that would be, "needle felt". I recently inherited a spinning wheel!
    Haven't navigated it yet.

    Looking forward to getting to know you

    lol carmen, i learn something new every day. actually tonight i also learned not to step on hedgehogs, so make that TWO new things today.

    hee karen, my belly ain't fit for much, other than a canvas for stretch marks. but that does sound very secret-agent-kinda-cool, i wonder if stacey's in

    oh yeah we have that at the moment, with little... what was her name... Delphi! off shortland street all grown up and getting herself in trouble...

    but no, haven't watched it - this week's episode here has her being driven out somewhere all scared and he is digging a hole... - so being too scarey to watch on screen probably indicates I'm not the right choice for this whole underbelly ring concept right? That and the stretch marks... Oh well, outrageous fortune sounds like far more fun anyway, PLUS we get to wear fake animal prints! woot!
