Hello, Hello.

Hey there, World Wide Expanse. I'm impressed that pretty much anyone can get published these days. Sort of.

I've been intending to make my debut into to world of blogging for a little while now, for a couple of reasons. One is that I think I'd get a little kick out of it if anyone actually bothered to read what I have to write. And secondly because I'm an terrible record-keeper, which I'd really like to remedy. My experience of motherhood has been that my days are a flurry of activity around my two girls, following which I collapse exhausted into bed each night. I'm generally aware of all the things going on in my life and what efforts I need to muster in order to keep the boat afloat; yet as I look back on previous weeks, months and years, its all a bit of a blur. So I think I should probably chronicle our whirlwind of events, activities and adventures so that after the dust settles I'll be able to look back thinking more than just "wow, what just happened?"

My current status in life is that I'm a stay-at-home Mum of two girls - Chloë, who turns four next month (much to her excitement) and Zayla, who has just turned two. This is them:

My wonderful husband Nathan is a teacher, and we've been married for just over five years.

 Just this past year we moved into our first house, which we built, so we're busy working on getting that established. I also study at uni part-time, which commitment functions primarily to keep me connected with the rest of the adult world. And we're also Latter-Day Saints, which is probably the best and most involved part or my life. So there's a lot going on for us, but it's an enjoyable existence and I can't think of anything I'd trade.
