Hi everyone, I'm new here. I've been searching for a place to kind of call home, to fit in. In my search, I stumbled across this site. My name is Chrissy, I'm 27 and a married mom of two. My husband and I live in Florida right now, but we're planning a big move early next year. Anyway, I notice there are a lot of sites out there for parenting, and parenting support, etc. Well, I love my kids with all my heart, but sometimes I really just don't want to talk about them all the time. I wanted to find a place where I can talk to other women, to make friends, and not have to discuss how many diapers I changed today, lol. I guess you can say I crave grown up interaction. I don't mind talking about the children sometimes, but I just want to kick back and me myself...not Mommy. :)

Thanks for the nice welcome :) Well, we're not moving to Australia, although I am sure I wouldn't mind it. I've always wanted to go there. I just realized that This site is Australian based? I guess I am silly and didn't look too closely, lol. I've never been out of the USA. Never even been outside of my part of the map. When we move, it will still be in the USA....when I said a big move, I meant we would probably going to the other side of the map here. Arizona is one of the places we're considering. I know...we haven't even decided yet, but we're still working on that part :) I hope this is ok, I'm American and all.
LOL we'd love to have an All American Gal join in with us :hug: I'm sure we'll learn at lot from each other, and have some really interesting chats ;)

Thanks, lol....as you can see, I don't pay attention to detail at 1 am....I had a bout of insomnia last night, and was bored and restless. So I discovered AFW out of luck, lol. But I love Australia (what I know of it!) so I sure don't mind being International.
Ahhemmm, we are already international here ladies! :Hehe: :waves: Well, I do live across the pond from most of you guys!! LMAO

Hi Chrissy, Welcome!
I've changed two nappies so far today! Just kidding LMAO (well I have changed two nappies but kidding about discussing it, lol).
My li'l sister is travelling in the US atm, all over the country really. She has been in Virginia being a counsellor at a summer camp there but is now travelling. I've never been but DH is keen to go so I'm sure we'll get there at some point. So it's good to have an American on the forums!
So, I am Naomi, I have one son, two cats and a husband, we live in Sydney. Looking forward to chatting on the forums.
