Where are you from?
Ok I live in Northern Ontario Canada, and haven't moved around that much. Well never left northern Ontario. and did I mention I am from Canada lol...
Hi Im from Mexico and i´ve lived here my whole life,i have a 2 year old son and 2 dogs =D
Hello. I am from Ohio. I have lived here since 1978. As a child I lived in Georgia. I have 6 sons and 3 female dogs (they are as close to daughters as I could get). :)
Lol. They keep me busy, but I wouln't change it for anything. I really did want at least one girl..obviously I tried many times. Lol
i have 1 girl then 3 boys. girls are more challenging emotionally and boys are more challenging physically. Either way, its hard work LOL
WOW 1 boy and im crazy, i do want more kids though hehehehe.i want a big family
Been in Texas since around 1980, so I consider myself 'from' here even if I wasn't born here. But my two, sometimes beautiful angels, sometimes evil spawns of Satan boys were born here.
It gets easier when they are teenagers in a lot of ways. They get very competitive. Not as much wrestling and fighting. But then you have the girlfriends....another story altogether. Lol I honestly wouldve had more, but hubby put a red flag up for that. Lol
Well one is 12, on the cusp of teenage years. And the other just turned 4, *sigh*
It's gonna be a LONG time for #2 to get that old.
Oh yeah, but hug him lots. I miss the snuggling.
My youngest is 15. Luckily he still thinks mom is cool and likes to hang out.
oh, your at the teenage stage already. I'm still in the younger stage. Still have one in diapers. lol my daughter is 9 and then the others are 7, 5 and 3. Yeah. Fun. Lots and lots of fun. Go ahead and ask David what my kitchen looks like right now. LOL No, I still haven't cleaned it. I need to go to bed soon. The mess will still be there tomorrow waiting for me. LOL
They are still messy as teens. The mess never seems to go away. :) Then you have football, orchestra, art shows and workouts... Most nights I am pooped out by 9 pm. Lol
See here it is a bit different. My family and I are orthodox Jews. Starting in high school the boys have a choice. They can go away and live in a dorm during the week and come home on weekends. If they do this, they usually pick a place close to home, less than an hour drive. Or go to a local high school and live at home. I want my boys home until after HS. But even if they live at home the hours are very long. They start at around 7:30 and end at around 10:30. With breaks for meals. But i'll have my girl. If she's not married by then. LOL
oh btw...i'm not saying they will not be messy. I'm sure my boys will continue that lovely habit well into their senior citizen days! LOL I'm just saying they will be around a lot less then.
That makes a difference. My 20 year old still lives at home. He seems to think maid services still apply. Lol I have enjoyed talking with you. I am sure we will chat again soon. Daylight is fast approaching, I need at least a couple of hours sleep. :)
I come from the United Kingdom. My dream is to work in London one day, but i do enjoy living in the countryside & walk dogs and go horse riding. Xx :)
I've kinda been all over the place :) Born in Virginia USA, then drove to Montana when I was 10 with my family, then 6 months later we were off to Washington state, then 3 years later we spent 3 months traveling the east coast and Tasmania of Aussie, then moved to Alaska in the states, then 3 years later we moved here to South Australia and we've been here for 6 months already :D Oh and did I mention I'm the oldest of 6 and then I still have one other sister who lives with my biological mother. Talk about crazy, I have 4 younger brothers who have no clue what privacy is and a sister with whom I share a room (6 year age difference makes that hard) Lol
Well I was born in South Carolina but I've been in Louisiana since I was five so it's home. To all the ladies on here talking about their sons...I have one who is 26 and I hate to tell y'all this but they NEVER grow up! Of course my husband hasn't either so I don't know why my son should be any different. Just kidding really I love them both like crazy. I also have four dogs and one granddog.
Nice to meet everyone!I was born in North Tonawanda NY (Buffalo) but have lived all over Florida most of my life. Die Hard Buffalo Bills fan, Yankees, and NY Rangers. I guess you could say I am not your typical girl, lol.
I have two boys Demon spawn, Dominic is five. And Drew my angel otherwise known as "The Head" will be 14 in July. The only bitch in my house is Tiki (named after Tiki Barber, told ya we are sports nuts) and she is an 80 pound German shepard and my partner in crime.
I am an agent and publicist, own a couple companies with my best friend and hubby so I can usually always be found lurking around goodreads ;-)
I like South Florida ok but the people down there kinda suck, the heat will kill ya. Elementary school in Daytona, Titusville (Where Kennedy Space Center is)for Jr and Sr high. Which Happens to be where Alana was born *waves to Alana*. Then onto Orlando where I worked for the Mouse for a couple years.... then lets see.... oh West Palm Beach in South FL. hmmmm, next was back to the Ville as us Titusvillians call it. Ok .... then back to South Florida in Boca Raton. Then Back to the Space Coast in Melbourne. Now finally Tampa. *Deep Breath*
Moved over here about a year and half ago to be closer to his crazy Italian Yankee family (He is from New Jersey) you know the kind that like to think they are from New York. heehehehe

My best friend is hasidic, or pretty close to that, I forgot her exactly name for it. She lives in Boca. She also loved Atlanta, she said the even had a kosher deli in the Publix there.
I live in Maine... always have... and am planning to leave this retched state as soon as I can... not because of my family I just hate it here.... anyway.. I've lived in this town (Old Town) for almost all my life but I also lived in Portland and Lewiston....
I'm from San Francisco, CA, and I've lived here all my life (I'm only in high school though so I suppose that's not a very long time...)

LOL and the humidity was like death sitting on your doorstep every morning waiting for you when you needed to leave the house. I actually did live in Boca. That's where we were married. My husband lived there from the time he was 8 until we got married. I'm up north now where there is a kosher restaurant on every corner! LOL
In regards to your hubby being a wanna be New Yorker. I had lots of those friends in my teens. I would make fun of them. My first 2 kids were born in Israel. When I got pregnant the third time (true story) I didn't want my baby to be born in Jersey. I was trying to figure out how I could give birth in NY. I felt so bad for #3 &4 having to born in the swamp land. When I hooked up with some old school friends on FB, they all called me a trader because I moved to Joisey. LOL I'm so ashamed of myself!!!! LOLOLOL
I grew up in southern Georgia, and I've lived in Nashville, Tennessee for the past twelve years.
I live in Santa Cruz, California (a beach town). Technically a city, but we all call it a town.
I live just outside of Detroit, MI and have lived in this same general area for most of my life.
Native central Floridian girl here :-) Though we are about to enter the hottest time of the year, and with the humidity, it can be a tad bit uncomfortable. Cranking up my A/C :-)

How funny Nicole- my hubby was born in Jersey, too. We have lots of similarities! And I have relatives from upstate New York (Utica and General Mills mostly)

I would love to go abroad one day and visit another country, as i have not been beyond the UK! :) x
Hello everybody! I was born in Ecuador, stayed there for a few short years, some places in-between (Panama, Nicaragua, Florida), then finally, we settled in Utah. It was a good place to grow up, but I'm ready to move to a big city. I just have to decide which one.
Born and raised in Southeastern Michigan. Love my seasons!
From San Jose California but have been in Salt Lake for 1 year and waiting for the day to go back to Cali.
I was born in Sacramento, CA. I moved to Sequim, WA when I was 19, then moved to Port Angeles, WA when I got married. For reference, Port Angeles is about an hour away from Forks, WA(TWILIGHT). I have a 5yr old son(Ethan) and a 3yr old daughter(Emery). We are moving to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in July and will be there for about a year. I look forward to the sunshine :D

Hi Dvora. I am further down....Cherry Hill area but I work up near Trenton. Where are you?I saw your comments about the HS for your boys and it made think about growing up...our landlords were Hasidic and their boys went away to school...OK, now I am having flashbacks... LOL
