New Year - New Blog





Happy new year. This is my second attempt at blogging. My first came with nothing but administrative difficulties and most of my posts were lost somewhere in cyber land. So, I have decided with the new year comes a new blog so here it is.


I thought I would include my initail blogging inauguration for anyone who may be remotely interested. Here it is.

I must say I read a few blogs and despite finding them quite interesting, I have been pondering for some time whether I have anything interesting enough to write about. But then someone pointed out this is like a public journal... and this is true - it is like a sticky beak into the lives of others. So what would I want the public to know about me? Well maybe an introduction would help put context to any of my future entries...So, who am I? My name is Kerryn and I was born in Melbourne some 30+ years ago now. I grew up in the northern suburbs in Epping where I lived with my family until I was married.

My mother and father are retired. I am one of three children, the middle and only girl. I went to primary school in Epping and high school in Lalor. After school, I went on to uni and from uni I went to work so I have followed what many would consider to be a pretty boring life path. Although that said, I could not be happier with the way my life to date has turned out.

I married the love of my life at the age of 20 after 6 years (yes - I know that means I was 14 when we started to date!!). And I can happily say that we are this year in our 14th year of marriage and happy as ever. My partner is definately my best friend. We have a beautiful 2 year old son who is more and more like his dad each day. I still watch him with wonder that we created such an amazing little boy. That sounds corny I know but I would have said the same about that type of comment before I had a child.

As for me, well I would describe myself as extremely organised, maybe to some a bit to much so. I love lists and planning, I also strangely like cleaning (cause it is like organising), and I like mowing the lawns (as it is like vacuming the grass and therefore like cleaning). I do not like ironing... Or putting the washing away (although do feel rewarded when I do these tasks). We live in the hills and I like to be by the heater. I like to do crafty projects like mosaic and making cards and scrapbooking. I also enjoy getting out and pruning in the garden when the weather is nice. I am a Picean, born in February which I belived makes me a bit of a day dreamer but I don't really consider that to be the case. So, for anyone who is remotely interested, that is me and my first blog. And as I find inspiration I shall share it with anyone who cares to take an interest.
