I'm Loving... (and a progress report)

One of the reasons that I started this blog was to chart my progress in integrating into life as a SAHM in a new town. Today I am loving the baby steps of progress that I have made.

On Monday I took my children to a local music group for the first time. Wee man slept peacefully through it and Rascal sang, clapped, danced and listened- she loved it! Although I was a bit apprehensive about going, I discovered that I actually already knew quite a few of the Mums present. I'm loving how a little bravery leads to good results. Next week we'll definitely be going to music again and I'm thinking we'll invite a couple of the other mothers and children round for a playdate afterwards. Who knows, we'll maybe even go to another new playgroup on Thursday.... Did I really say that?

Another thing that I'm loving is getting into my crafting and blogging groove again. As with so many other NZ bloggers, I have found it difficult to concentrate on either of these pursuits over the last few weeks. It feels really good that I have a second Softie for Christchurch completed and ready to send. Especially as in making it I not only managed to complete yet another one of my blogging challenges, but also got over my phobia of my sewing machine (just look at that beautiful stitching!).
