Surely I am not the only one here that is not from US/Canada?

Where are my international buddies :rahrah:

I'm here - but in Australia :)

:wavey:

Yay, Welcome AusMaree. :woo:

I'm here :wavey:

I just followed over... I'm so glad your here :bighug:

Great to see you made it Becca :hug99:

Me too!!! I just got a journal going on the Just life section... Made my first post in it..

How is Sarah today.. She is the sweetest little thing!! I loved the pictures of the two of you together!! I can now see more of her Mummy in her too!!

G'day! :)

Cat! My BIL is living "near" you (Aberdeen, but that's near enough when you're talking the distance between Australia and Scotland :lol: ) I'm absolutely dying of envy - every time I see one of your posts, I feel a pang and want to go back to Scotland. We didn't get to stop in Inverness (just drove through on our way to Loch Ness), but the autumn foliage on the way there was just magnificent, and that whole area was so beautiful. You're lucky to live there! But you can keep the snow. ;)

:lol: Tarzy, great to see you :) We only had a drop of snow once, and that was way back in October. Unfortunately its awful drizzly rain just now. I would swap eating my Christmas dinner in winter thermals to b-b-q on the beach any day :lol:

Hello, my name is catalina and I represent MEXICO http://www.qdice.com/mitierra/icons/icon26.gif :victory:

Another Aussie checking in!! :wavey:
I'm in Melbourne :)

Hey Catalina and Natalie :wavey:

Hey we've got quite an international group here!!!

Will it be okay for me to stick around here, even after Andrew and I have moved back to the states???

Of course it is :hug99:

:) Thank you!!:) I'm gonna miss so many people..

count me in I'm here but mainly lurking:aok:

Rachel :hug99: So good to see you sweetie. I dont know if you remember me but I was one of your TTC buddies :)

Rachel I dont know if you remember me but I was one of your TTC buddies :)


:hug99: of course I remember you :) I can't beleive you little one is 7mths :eek:

Wow this group grew! :) It's good to see there are a few of us here!

:lol: Tarzy, great to see you :) We only had a drop of snow once, and that was way back in October. Unfortunately its awful drizzly rain just now. I would swap eating my Christmas dinner in winter thermals to b-b-q on the beach any day :lol::lol: You are right, it's great to be able to have a bbq on the beach for Christmas. You just have to hope you don't end up with one of those mad families that try to do the whole "traditional English Christmas" with the meat and the family all roasting indoors together :lol: Although, there is a lot to be said for those Christmases too.

I probably shouldn't pick on the snow too much. Until we went to Scotland, I had seen snow twice in my life, and both times it was already on the ground. I can't tell you how thrilled we all were when we got to see it falling from the sky. Amazing! Also, my Scottish-based half-siblings-in-law laughed their heads off at us when we stopped to inspect a frozen puddle on the footpath. None of us had ever seen one! My sisters-in-law were especially impressed! Hahaha. Pick the Aussies - they're the ones poking the frozen puddle!

No more Mexicans? :(

BBq for Christmas sounds fantastic!!lOL That is definately a new idea/tradition to start up...

Seems I am the only representative of Israel...:woo:
Hiya everybody. At first, I was convinced that ll members are from the US...

Rachel- I am so sorry for your loss. I pray to G-d that your second TTC will be successful and will bring you all the joy in the world!:hug99:

I am from the UK, but further South than the other brits! I live in Bristol which is about 120 miles away from London. nice to see some other internationals here –*and lots of names I recognise!

Hello Nadine and Anniebell..

It's always nice to have a little corner for all of us internationals!!!

I love to meet new faces!! I hope you enjoy our new home on the board here :)

Hey we've got quite an international group here!!!

Will it be okay for me to stick around here, even after Andrew and I have moved back to the states???No!

:lol:

What a funny question! Like we would throw you out! :) You know what they say - the more, the merrier.

Hi everybody...
I have a journal now, called "me and my 2 rascals" under mommyus and daddies journals...
Hope to see u there...

Can I butt in on your thread for a second? I live in the States, but I'm trying to find out any info on U.K. or international parenting magazines. We have good friends who are living in London, and we want to get them a gift subscription to a parenting magazine, but have no idea what's good over there!

What mags do you international ladies read? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Sorry to hijack your thread...bowing out now...

Cat would be your best source I think for the possibility of parenting magazines. I'm not a big magazine person unless it's Better Homes and Gardens or a Scrapbook magazine.. Those are the only ones I have in my house...

Cat would be your best source I think for the possibility of parenting magazines.
And what makes you think I have time to sit and read parenting magazines! :lol:

Gulp I will try my best to help you, after becoming Bridezilla regards Wedding mags, then hormonally obsessed and freaked out by Pregnancy mags, I tried to stear clear of the parenting mags.

However, there are a couple I like, my Favourite is Mother & Baby http://www.magazines-subscriptions.co.uk/mother-and-baby-magazine.htm (http://www.magazines-subscriptions.co.uk/mother-and-baby-magazine.htm) they have a great 'Tried and tested' feature where mums try and test various aspect of baby essentials ranging from nappy (diaper) cream to Car seats and prams.

They usually also have a great freebie each month.

Another I like is Prima baby, usually have great articles http://www.primababymagazine.co.uk/ This one I got addicted to because it had everything from preconception, pregnancy, birth (although some mums thought it was appropriate to photograph the birth!) and baby info too.

The other one I love to get is Practical Parenting, http://www.magazine-subscription.co.uk/practical_parenting.htm
Again, this one usually has great offers and freebies and great articles. They also do a brilliant tried and tested section, and full of great advice.

Those are the main three I like, When I find the time to get the feet up with a cup of tea and a chocolate bar :lol:

HTH :)

Cat, thank you so much! Your info is an enormous help, and thank you for giving me such thorough information!

By the way, my name is Stefanie. Nice to meet you! :)

Stephanie Glad to be of assistance :) Dont hesitate to holler if you need any other info :) And best of luck with baby #2
