In December 2008, I took the plunge and moved 'back home' to the south coast of NSW with my husband and two boys in tow. Not to a glamorous farmhouse with picturesque cows and verdant pastures. Nor to a contemporary glass-and-steel sand castle beside pristine waters. Nope, I washed up in a pink 1960s fibro, slap bang in the middle of a not-city town. Here, I manage motherhood, freelance writing, my ambitions to be a novelist and the day-to-day getting on with it of life in a pink fibro.
I am a lover, a grower, a creator, a dreamer, a doer, a mamma. Oh I am. I reside on the east coast of Australia with my ever lovely mister and our 2 boys...my sidekicks. We attempt to live consciously, honestly and naturaly when that fails we crack jokes, eat Pho & blame the kids. I'll leave the pigeon-holes for the pigeons and just say that we steer heavily to the left...and we both wear glasses. My intention is never to offend or upset others but i will question everything in existance in the most open & transparent way i know how. I am anything but luke warm, actually im everything but luke warm.I like readers with dirty hands, an open heart & an over flowing mind.

I am fifty, female and unemployed. I started writing a blog about trying to find a local job but then discovered that everything apart from looking for a job is far more interesting.
ones voice is where you can put your thoughts into words, have your say on life and the issues that affect it. Read others ideas, comments and thoughts as well. Somewhere to voice ones thoughts.
I am a lawyer and a stay at home mum bringing up three adorable children under five in these precious early years on Planet Baby. We've recently moved back to Hobart after 11 years in Sydney to raise the children and spend more time with family. This blog is about the funny things littlies do and what inspires and keeps me sane while I am living on Planet Baby. I hope you enjoy it!
i'm a stay at home mum wanting to practice my writing as I quite enjoy it. I'm writing about anything but usually sway towards mum stuff.
My blog is about my personal experience with cloth nappies and elimination communication. My passion for cloth nappies has also sparkled interest in sewing (nappies), knitting (wool nappy covers) and compulsive shopping (for everything nappy-related). I started this blog in the hope that writing about my favourite topic will distract me from online shopping...
Words are primitive - they cannot begin to describe the person I call me, but I'll try....Politics. Economics. Environment. Social Justice. Activism. Fashion. Human Rights. Any of these themes come up and I will throw my hat in to the discussion.I am an adrenalin-junkie with a fascination for extreme sports but I also enjoy the simple pleasures that life has to offer.I see the glass-half-full and have time for a lot of people but I also have a low tolerance for ignorance and apathy.I am the luckiest woman to have found not only the love of my life but the man I am destined to grow old with. I have the most amazing, supportive, fun-loving and caring group of close friends and family who absolutely keep me grounded and remind me of where I've come from and just how much I've been blessed with.
In short, I joined the vlogging and blogging world shortly after my partner Michael and I chose to start trying to conceive. We fell pregnant 3 months later and I shared my symptoms, thoughts and all my excitement and purchases on my Youtube Channel.I went to my 8.5 week scan and saw a gorgeous wriggly baby so I wasn���t too concerned about our 12 week scan. We had our next scan at 14 weeks and heard the dreaded words ���I���m sorry, there is no heartbeat���. I had had a missed miscarriage where my placenta/amniotic fluid had continued to grow and had no signs that we had lost our baby until that point.I recorded a very raw video after finding out about my loss and have been trying to create awareness and help women going through a similar thing ever since via videos, blogs, emails and comments.7 cycles later and we fell pregnant again with our son Cameron. I had a beautiful pregnancy which I shared at my last blog Racheous��� Journey to Cameron.After giving birth to Cam I suffered from severe anxiety attacks and postnatal depression. It���s an ongoing process but I���m doing much better now and do not have anxiety attacks anymore. I also relactated after having to switch to formula feeding for a short period of time due to sedative medication. I shared that as well on a blog called The Relactater. Since then things have been beautiful. Truly beautiful. So I���m sharing that with you, as well as the downright difficult.���I���m a 22 year old Mumma to baby Cameron who was born New Years Eve 2009 and wife of six and a half years to Michael. We live in a lovely home in Australia. I enjoy spending time with my hubby, family and friends, helping my baby boy discover the world, creating Youtube videos, digital scrapbooking, reading, watching movies, going to mothers groups and writing.���

In a world dominated by rational goals and common sense, we have not only forgotten to listen to our heart, we have forgotten how to listen to our heart. In other words, our Tiger is asleep. This blog is dedicated to waking up the tiger in each of us.
Living with Little People is about ���creating a family home.��� A space that goes beyond accommodating your family and actually accentuates the life you live together. A space that reflects all its occupants, both big and little.

I have a new goal: To become a successful work at home mum and ontrepreneur (online entrepreneur). With zero experience and expertise relevant towards achieving this goal, I am marching forward with enthusiasm regardless. I hope that by blogging my way through this journey, I will provide some insights, or at least some laughs, for others with similar aspirations.
My name is Lauren. I���m Australian by birth but grew up as an MK in West Africa (with a lot of North American influences). I currently live near Brisbane, Queensland, Australia with my growing family. We have four beautiful daughters ��� in alphabetical order!We���re concerned about peak oil and the pending global energy crisis. So after we sell our house, we are heading to a rural property in New Zealand to make the next step to a self-sufficient, sustainable lifestyle.We would like our children to develop a lifelong love of learning and will keep them at home (���unschooling��� them) instead of sending them to an institution. (This can be construed as an extreme over-reaction to my twelve years of boarding school���)David and I believe that we are the church, and so we are transitioning to an unchurching lifestyle. This means that we meet together with other believers outside of the traditional Sunday morning gathering, and share the love of God with whomever he brings us into contact. It���s certainly an adventure!I blog to remember these years of my children���s lives, to add my voice to the internet murmur and to give myself something to do apart from the washing and wiping down the kitchen counters.I keep an open house. Anyone is welcome to drop by ��� anytime! This means you���ll take us as you find us ��� neat, messy, well-behaved or not. But we���re real, and this blog is too. Subscribe or browse through the archives, and you���ll see what I mean.
