Testing the waters
Now that we have decided that I will not be returning to the working world just yet, I think that I need to keep the brain active. As I have never really had a hobby and cannot even contemplate the thought of starting one now with being a full time mum, I have had to really think about my skills and interests.
That said, I have found the internet to be invaluable since I fell pregnant. Being in a new country with all my family spread across continents of the world, I have really gone through a massive learning curve in the birthing and parenthood stakes. I have obviously spent many nights trawling the web for relevant tips and advice and according to my husband, I like to talk (a lot) about what I have learned and what I find interesting. His suggestion was to merge this talent with my interest and take a stab at blogging on his site that he has become too busy to keep up with.
Great idea, but being a mother really is all encompassing and what can I possibly have to offer the world that is not related to nappy changes, feeding, sleeping and the list goes on? Nothing! So I’ll write about what I know best and this is my experiences at being a very novice mother to an amazing little boy. Hopefully I am not the only sad person who has to resort to searching the internet to learn from similar experiences of others and, that someone, somehwere will find what I have to say interesting or at the very least, helpful in some way.
I do not claim to know it all, but I have learned a lot and have a long way to go yet, and hopefully I can share some of it with you along the way. So here is my maiden voyage in testing the waters of my ability in blogging…
