My name is Jaynie. I've entered the late 30s. I'm married with 3 kids, 2 cats, 5 chickens, 1 rabbit and a fish. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I do not presume that my life is remotely interesting to anyone else, but I'm narcissistic enough to throw it out there anyway.
You can email me here.
I have 3 blogs:
1 - At the End of the Day - my thoughts on life, love, kids, pets, dieting and general living
2 - Chasing Cars - What I'm reading, re-reading and writing
3 - Wasting Time without Margaritas - my meme blog.
