The Beginning

Hello all! It's time for me to start a new journey, and with this new journey I wanted to start a blog to let you all know how it is going. Here is a little background I have been living in Australia for a year. For the first 9 months I was working as an au pair (a live-in nanny) for an amazing family in Manly. Manly is a harbor and ocean side suburb of Sydney, it is a 30 minute ferry ride to the central business district. It has lots of cafes, restaurants and shopping. I lucked out big time and ended up with an amazing family to au pair for. They are easy going, generous, funny and really helpful. The parents, Tom and Lorraine are from Canada but are Australian citizens now and I have been living in Manly for 8 years. They have two daughters, Ripley who is three and half and Taylor who is 11 months. Taylor was born about a month after I came to Australia. I love them like crazy! (I have recently started referring to them as “my babies”, which I realize is creepy but I can’t help it).
