my children are clean, dressed & fed,
my carpets are cleaned & hoovered, our home is tidy & smells nice, all the washing up is done, looks like i might be making cake after all today.

i have never seen one, i read the articles online , but mostly i'm just here in the community.
that's a shame with the advertising.
doesn't seem like mothering, i would have thought.
let me know if this recipe doens't make a lot of sense, very distracted at the moment!

herewearetogether- our landlord sold our last apartment in the middle of my thesis presentation and we had 30 days to move out. It was really terrible (esp in NYC).
oh my goodness, that must have been terrible!!
it's actually the reason i am not pregnant yet, i so want another one, but the thought of having to find a new home while 9 months pregnant & then moving, no thank you.
hopefully,in a year, when this contract is up , we will be in a position to buy a little farm, so, then we can focus on family planning.
morning!
i'm not on adium sadly as i am on my father in laws computer. power cable broke AGAIN on the mac, but they are sending a replacement for free,which is great.

this is our second, he got his new mac about a year ago,so that's not bad, the cable broke 2 months ago,we replaced it & now it broke again , so that's why we complained, because 2 monthsis just stupid for something that cost ÂŁ60, but they were very sweet, said they'll send someone round to bring us a new cable & collect the old one.

Me too! I so much want another one! Now is definitely not the time though. I am already thinking about finding a bigger place (but I hate the thought of moving, and my landlady is really nice. I see her once in three months for the rent and she is always gone within 10 seconds, yet if I need something she is always available). Once I get on my feet again financially, I am hoping for one more at some stage though. A little farm sounds wonderful! Do you like England? I took a look at your blog. What is that beach you went to? Brighton?
herewearetogether- I read your blog. It's lovely. Your children are beautiful. Are you a Waldorf parent? Based on the fairy hunt and toys, I wondered if you might be. Also, are you German, Austrian, or Swiss? Is your spouse? Just curious...I did my study abroad during college in Salzburg, and lived 2 years in northern Germany after school. I would love to have bilingual children, but that's not likely to happen since we're Americans living in the U.S.
How about other folks in this thread? Where is everyone?
On your macbook? That happened to me last month, fortunately they replace them since they cost like 150 euros to buy new. How long did the cable last you?

i love england, but even if i didn't i'd stay here because of the homeschooling laws
brighton is about 2 hours from here, we go down to our local beach, it's just 5 minutes walk, which is really great for days when the kids are just toooo active
