Meet my family - we're a quirky bunch.
We're noisy, we argue and whinge with the best of them, and family life can be a hair-raising rollercoaster ride, but I am determined that good times will outweigh the bad.
I have always wanted my kids to grow up secure, knowing they are loved and with plenty of great memories to bring a warm fuzzy glow when they look back on their childhood.
Names have been changed to protect the guilty. Here they are...
dash (the firstborn)
Sixteen years old, and a mad keen football player, Dash is in the middle of High School. He is famous for his epicmiss fab (the only girl)
Fifteen-going-on-twenty-one, Miss Fab, is one of the bravest, funniest, strongest people I know. Since babyhood she's had a big personality, running at life full-tilt (and has a cast collection to prove it).scrag (the youngest)
This guy is a character, a big-hearted sweetie. At 11 years old, Scrag is "my baby" (but I won't let him hear me say that). Scrag is empathetic, energetic, intuitive and super-tall for his age. This kid blows my mind on a regular basis with the stuff he comes out with.family adventures
