I’ve decided it’s time I stopped lurking and came out to introduce myself.

So hello from rainy South Wales near the sea, near Mumbles. I’m mum to two gorgeous children, aged 6 and 13 and am hoping to get lots of inspiration and advice from you all.

Look forward to ‘chatting’ soon. 

I have just joined the GP website and just getting to grips with the forums. I am mum to two beautiful boys aged one and three and the site is a fantastic tool for me. I live close to Birmingham and hoping to get to know some like minded parents.

I live between Builth Wells, Brecon and Hay.  I’m mom to a fabulous nearly six month old little man.  Soon to be baby led weaning!  We have just set up a holiday yurt business on our smallholding so my husband and I can be around to raise, educate and learn from our son.

I found this site while looking for ways to connect with like-minded folks.  This forum seems to be a fantastic community and a brilliant source of information for just about anything you can think of.  I look forward to getting to know you all!

We live in North Wales, we’re an unschooling family. I blog at This Enchanted Pixie {http://thisenchantedpixie.org}

Um…. that’s about it off for a nose around and a catch up!

We home educate our eldest, he went to school until the end of year 2 (last June) but was unhappy and it destroyed every bit of confidence he had - when a 6 year old comes home from school and tells you he’s stupid and will never be able to read there is something terribly wrong, the school wouldn’t listen so we had a ‘trial period’ at home and he’s so happy and says he never wants to go back to school.  We don’t have much of a home ed community locally - it’s about an hour away to either of the groups I’ve found so we mostly do things on our own.

I love dog training, knitting, sewing, growing our own veg (I’m very interested in permaculture) and I’ve just started playing at woodwork but I’m quite isolated since we decided to home ed, the locals don’t really talk to us since son one left the school and I don’t go to as many dog shows as I used to so I’ve drifted away from alot of my dog friends :-(

Looking forward to getting to know you all

I have been reading the forum for a few months now whilst waiting for my membership to be approved and day by day I have become more confident in my
decisions about how me and my husband are going to raise our son… If you had known me 12 months ago I had different views on parenting (never judging
others) but just thought my parenting path would be different.

So here I am breastfeeding my 4 month old who is wearing a cloth nappy, with his beautiful (small) selection of wooden rattles on the bed (when nobody
understands why he doesn’t have a huge amount of flashing bright plastic toys), last week I found myself arguing the point with the nurse about vaccinations,
this week I found myself listening to why apparently me feeding my son is disgusting (by my own sister) and I want to say thankyou to you all for helping
me to know that I am doing the right thimg and that there are other people out the doing what I am doing

I thought I would just introduce myself.

I am Jenna. I am a 25 year old mother to be living in Nottingham City.
I am an artist (If you want to have a look at my work you can have a look at my website or facebook )I am also a face painter.

I love painting, drawing, gardening, watching films, music or almost every Genre, cooking and hanging out with my 2 cats :D

I have joined this forum to meet some like minded parents. My first baby is due on June 12th. Feeling fairly isolated currently. Most of my friends are still in the middle of their party party lifestyle and I guess my pregnancy has freaked them out in some respects. I get quite lonely right now :(

Looking forward to talking with you all..

Havent posted for about two years! Been busy wofking full time but aspirations still the same. To become a Wahm mama. Continue on my green/eco friendly journey.

Since my last post (about 2 years ago now - eek!) I’ve become pregnant with our second baby (and daughter) and I’m on the verge of launching my childrenswear label.

It feels good to be back - rather like slipping into warm, comfy slippers.
