Intro

I've tried this once before, mmmm.... about 4 years ago I think, and I didn't turn out to well. Blogging that is.  I guess I didn't have enough confidence in what I had to say, or confidence that anyone would want to listen. I still don't, but it's OK this time.


This time I just need an outlet for my thoughts more than anything else, and if you want to comment on them, well that's fine by me.

Since time is already against me (I have to go pick up my daughters from school in less than 60 seconds) I thought I'd just quickly set out this first post and see what happens... see if I can actually send the thing to post and see if it really does!


My name is Christen and I'm 34yrs old. I am American but have been living, and have legal residence in, South Africa for the past 11 years.  I'm married to the best man in the world and over the last 10 years we've popped out 3 of the most beautiful children to ever walk the planet.  More on them another time.

I have no profession and no training.  I'm doing what I always wanted to do- I'm a wife and a mom, and I absolutely LOVE it.

Today is Lily's 2nd day at preschool (she's 3). When I picked her up last week she said "Mumma, WHAT are you doing here?"  As if to say- MOM!!!! I don't want to go home!  I'm interested to see her reaction today. ;)

Until later....
