Lurkers old and new- Tell us about yourselves

I'm a 39 year old SAHM with a 3 year old boy and a 7 month old girl. We have a small farm so I take care of that while my husband works.  

Hi, I am an occasional poster, I was a member for 8 years and around 2 thousand posts. I started in gs but came over to nsbr when I joined the TTC threads and eventually the pregnancy threads. I am approaching forty with two little girls (ages 2 & 4). I struggled for six years with infertility and sharing on the boards was a great outlet. I actually do scrapbook and am all about taking pictures of my girls. I also have two very set in their ways cats and a wonderful husband of 11 years.

I was on 2 peas since 2001. I was pretty active at the beginning and then a group of about 20 of us began an off shoot group called the Homeys (we were almost all stay at home moms) that chatted everyday on the scrap chat/swap board. There is still a group of 5 of us that are part of the group and we vacation together every other year and see each other on facebook everyday. I am about the only one that still lurked everyday on my lunch time.

I'm 44. I have a son (21) that just graduated Airforce Basic training last week. He is in Tech School and we are waiting to see where his first duty station is. I have a daughter (19) that is going to college to become a RN. My husband and I have been married 22 years and together 25 years on July 4th.

We have a blue heeler/border Collie named Lucy who is 10. She likes to watch the hunting channel and football

I work as an admin assistant at a local small buiness full time. I scrap when I go on my girls trip vacations and on NSD. Otherwise my stuff sits and gets dusty. Lol I love to read and I watch Big Brother. I had a panic attack yesterday when I went to Peas and realized what happened! My first thought was "oh crap! The only time during the year that I actively participate on 2 peas and it's gone? What am I gonna do?" Thank goodness I figured it out early in the day and found my way here and the fb group of big brother peas!

I was an old pea (almost made it to 14years under my second pea number, lost the first one when something went wrong, can't remember what). I was mostly a lurker up until the past year. I had less than 1000 posts.

I'm a mid-50s wife of 27 years and mom to two sons (24 and 22) who had the nerve to go away to college, graduate and stay in college town, four hours away from home. My husband and I are true empty nesters now.

I stopped working outside the home in 1998 to be a stay at home mom and homeschool our sons. By the time they went off to college I had become use to staying at home and have not rejoined the work force though I really probably should. I do have a part time job where I pick up a friend's son from school and keep him out of trouble until mom gets off work.

At one time I made pretty good money making scrapbooks for others. I got burned out from putting so much sweat and tears into something only to give it up to someone else. I haven't scrapped in years. I get my creative release now by doodling (or Zentangling, as it's now called) and keeping art journals. I've recently purchased a gelli plate and spend a lot of time printing.

The rest of my spare time is spent on the internet. I'm a Facebook, Instagram and of course, 2Peas junkie. I almost cried yesterday when I found our board gone. Thank goodness for the people who rescued us through the Facebook groups and this board.

My plan is to be a more active participant now that I've been given a second chance ?

I have been a member of two peas since October 2004, but had lurked from around 2002, but with just 274 forum posts, I was far from chatty.

My DH and I are both Australian, but live in the United States. A long story how and why, but work assignment is the short story. I will be 40 later this year.

We have 3 awesome kids, 12, 8 & 6. My kids attend a hybrid homeschool school (University model school), which basically means they attend a school some days each week and school at home the other days. Their teachers are certified and are amazing! They create the lessons plans, and I make sure my kids follow them through at home.

I spend much of my time teaching, cooking, and other household related stuff. In my spare time (little spare time) I enjoy genealogy, gardening, cross stitch and other crafts, this nsbr message board (duh), pinterest and baking.

I'm a late 40's SAHM to only 1, a 12yo DD. I live in NSW, Australia, with DH (also in the drives me nuts but I already have him trained category),DD, an elderly border collie and a rescue lorikeet (who also drives me nuts!). I vary between job hunting and being happy at home. I still scrap, like to travel and read. Mostly a lurker at 2P's but glad I found this forum

I'm 43, married for 21 years to my college sweetheart, whom I met at the University of Texas. I'm a mom to four boys, the oldest is 17, the next is 15, and the youngest two are identical twin 11 year olds. My 2Peas account says I joined in May of 2001, but I'm pretty sure I started reading the Two Peas boards before that. I started scrapbooking in 1999, took part in a Two Peas circle journal with other moms of twins in about 2003 and then promptly stopped scrapbooking. Just couldn't find the time for it. All my boys swim competitively year round, so my life is swim practice, swim meets and I serve on two swim team boards. I always read 2Peas every morning and every night. It was a part of my life and I actually cried when I read that they had closed. So glad to have found this board and I hope to be a little more active on this one since I now realize just how much the 2 Peas community really meant to me.

I'm a European Pea (Norway), which is probably the main reason I haven't posted a lot (1700+ posts in three years), when you're not fluent in a language, it makes it more difficult to come up with something coherent;). I lurked for years before my first post, but I will always be grateful for the Peas' support after the terrorism attack in Norway three years ago. If my husband wasn't on vacation, he would most likely have been killed by the car bomb, and it scared me a lot. 

I'm 45, married for nearly 20 years, DS15 (sometimes incredibly sweet, other times your typical hormonal teenager) and DD8(who is sweet most of the time, at least for now). Law school graduate, but is currently a SAHM because DH works very long hours and that didn't combine well with my 4 hours daily commute.

I still scrapbook, other hobbies are taking care of my horse, reading, knitting and sewing.

I've been lurking at two peas off and on for about 10 years. I was B. Pea previously and had just started posting a little more frequently. I was still under 1000 posts. I'm 35, live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Im a SAHM with 2 daughters ages 8 & 11. I came to two peas because of scrapbooking but I rarely manage to do that anymore.

I have been with 2peas for almost 4 years, only posting a little here and there. I work part time and am a very busy mom of 3 (16, 11 & 9) who are all into sports. I live in NY and have been married for almost 13 years. I've been scrapping for about 8 years now. I am a huge baseball fan and an even bigger fan of the Yankees!

Long time obsession with Ichiro here! 

I'm a lurker since 2005.  I live in Northern Virginia with DH and our 3 children-DD20, DD18, DS15.  Both girls are going to college in Virginia and my DH travels a lot for business so it's mostly just my son and me at home. The kids have grown up so fast and I'm glad I scrapbooked a lot of their earlier years.  Now, my supplies mostly gather dust, but I do still try to scrapbook our summer vacations.  I look forward to participating more-I think I hyperventilated when Two Peas shut down and I didn't know where everyone would be gathering.

Hi, long time lurker/reader and rare poster!  I live in Michigan, work full time at an insurance company and am a full time student.  I am in an accelerated program to earn my bachelor's degree after many years of starts and stops.  I have 11 weeks until I earn my degree!
In my personal life, I have a husband of almost 6 years and 2 early 20s stepsons.  I have two shihpoo dogs, love to travel, and am looking forward to being more active over here
