So here I am….little late in the day for getting the blogging vibe but there we go! It’s been a mad few years getting here, some losses, some laughs and lots of loves. I’m going to try to post a little as and when I can, some about me, lots about my little man Edward, the new kid on the block Elizabeth, and maybe some about the stuff we get up to.

So who are we? I’m Kerry, mid 30’s and still growing up. I’m currently (and hope to be for a long time) attatched to Brett, we have an 8 year old son, Edward who is BONKERS. He has recently been diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum and then there’s the littlest princess Elizabeth. She’s a character, marching to her own drum. She was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy in 2017. They are my world. Together we’re us. We jointly made the parenting descision to breast feed, cloth nappy and use slings and taking a more alternative route rather than the ‘norm’ because it felt right and we thought it was just the way you did things.

We live in Leicester, in a simple 3 bed with a garden for the kids, garage for Brett and chickens for me. We have a fish named Mrs Orander and a cat called Ninja. I’m hoping to help fill you in on what it’s like to live with two children with additional needs and how they navigate life. What we get up to as a family and the stuff we like.

I try to bake, cook and be a 1950’s housewife but that isn’t me. I tend to make mess, not clean it up!
