Hi everyone

[Brooke]

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new at posting and also a new single
mom. My daughter will be 4 months this week! None of my friends or family
are raising kids by themselves so I'm just trying to meet some people in
situations similar to mine.

Hey Brooke,
Welcome from Alberta, Canada. I'm Kat...
I'm not really a single mom anymore, but I was for a while and have been
floating around here since my son was even more of a wee one than he is now.
I have two boys, 4.5 and 5.5 and one girl who's about a week and a half
short of 3 months old.
The oldest doesn't live with me, but the boys get to hang out.

Just wanted to say thanks Kate, xkatx, and Kim. The single parenting is
going good so far. Skyler (my daughter) will be 4 months next week. Minus a
little drama with the ex, everything has been wonderful. We live in Western
North Carolina.

I've tried scrap booking too, but always seem to get hopelessly distracted.
;) She's already growing faster than I thought possible. She just turned 4
months yesterday and is already the length of a 7 month old!! Of course that
means nothing fits her..so I guess I will have to start making clothes soon.

Hi Brooke, welcome to the group from another Albertan. I have nearly 10
year old twin boys, so when you talk about them growing up fast I know just
how you feel. lol

Wow. You and me both. I tried to scrapbook... I gave up very, very
quickly, but only after spending money on garbage supplies I realize I won't
ever use... So far, our "family" scrapbook has 1 page of Amie's ultrasound
picture and a whole crapload of inserts ready to have things added to them.
Not gonna happen.

> But sewing.. yeah, I use to love sewing for the girlies.

Here I hate sewing... I can't do it, therefore I think it sucks ;) I try,
though, but fail miserably. Reminds me of how I had failed home ec back in
junior high. :'(
