Hi everyone

It's so cool to have found a NZ forum for Kiwi women! I've been looking for ages for a forum to connect with other Kiwi women/mums but they're all usually topic specific, ie, weight loss, etc. So it's great to find this place.

I'm 28, married and live in Auckland. I have an almost 2 year old daughter who is just the best thing in my life. I also have two stepchildren, a girl who is 14 (and is more like a girlfriend than a daughter) and a stepson who is almost 9. They're really neat kids and we get along very well. They live with us one week and with their mother the next week, etc. I'm a stay at home mum and spend my days running around after BD (birth daughter) and attending various sprog related activities, ie, playgroup, going to the park, swimming, etc.

Although I love being a SAHM, I feel I've lost my own identity somewhat and I miss having the time to do stuff that is purely for my enjoyment - as it is I've had to get up at 6am to even post this without my sprog jumping all over me lol. So yes, it's great to find this place and have something that is just for me

I look forward to talking with you all!

Good morning Masquerade. I'm glad you found us too. This site is going through a slow spell at the moment and we need more active members so I hope you will jump right in and take part. So many join and then do nothing. You should find some kindred spirits here. There are quite a lot of Auckland members although most of us are from Christchurch (I think). I am, one of the senior members, a mother and grandmother, and have been coming here for many long years. I have met and made friends with the most amazing group of witty, compassionate and knowledgable women and I hope you will find your experience to be the same. Go for it!

Welcome from me too......... I agree with Faye 100% as for meeting some great women on here......Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever be a part of such group......I'm over here in the USA but got to meet one of the women over there as she came over and it was wonderful.... Do hope you will find us all warm and fun to talk to......Looking forward to hearing more about you.........

Hello Masquerade, I endorse all that Faye has said, and Welcome you to join us too.
It is great that you took the time to introduce yourself and we look forward to 'getting to know you' as well as most of us older members know each other now too.
I am one of the oldie Aucklanders. Alright, alright..... I AM the Oldest ! But and I hasten to add, I am still young at heart !

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm a long time member of another online discussion forum but most of the members live in Aussie so they often have meet up's which I can't really attend, being in NZ and all. It will be really nice to have a forum to chat with women who also live in NZ. Being a SAHM can be quite isolating (especially when you live rurally like I do!) so it's great to have found this place

Hello and welcome Masqerade
