So I think for my first post I'll make it an introductory one to, well, me!  and of course my family, which will be oft talked about.

So I'm a married mother of 2, although at times it feels like 3 children! I guess marriage just works that way sometimes.  I live on a dairy farm of 750 cows.  I am a SAHM but when the farm is your home, well the 'stay at home' bit is often spread over the 400ha that we cover. 

I knit quite compulsively.  Even though my children are older i really only like knitting baby and toddler things and Hats.  I do so love me some hats!  Most of knitting finds homes easy enough as there are always plenty of people having another or wanting something knitted for someone else as a gift.  I also decorate cakes, this is a very part time hobby as it is quite expensive!  Although any excuse...  :D  I look longingly at other peoples gardens.  A green thumb is not just lacking, it has been said that I drive plants to commit suicide just by looking at them!  However I have planted out a small area with some plants and haven't managed to kill  them yet.  Oh, that's kind of a lie....  I did spray one off about a month ago... 

We have 2 labradors, griff & mac, and one white cat, phasil, he was known once upon a time as Basil.  My lovely 2 year old when he started speaking managed to rename him.  I also have 4 chickens.  I love all my chickens dearly.  Even though only one has a name.  Chickens are awesome.

My children are 4 & 2 both birthdays in about 3 months.  Both boys.  Aren't boys full on?! gorgeous though.  And I get to know more about tractors and machinery than I ever thought I would.  My TV addict is currently being amused by the tv while I do this.  While the other is out with Dad on the motorbike.  I have mixed feelings about my oldest going to school.  He is so ready to go and I am ready for him to go too, but then he just wont be a baby at all anymore - a full blown child/young person.  I will miss being the centre of his universe and I'm sure i will hear plenty of "but mrs _______ said ________ mum!"  And I will miss misleading them on certain things - like the fact that I have convinced them that the MDF plant is a cloud factory (the huge clouds of steam that come billowing out)  but I will enjoy seeing him be more independant and learn all those things and hopefully become the child I know he is capable of being.

What do I intend to write about in this blog?  Everything, anything.  Silliness and seriousness.  Excitement and disbelief.  Its pretty much my world according to me - reality may or may not be included.  Hehehe.
