: About Me

I am Mum to 3 children- Claudia (6), Alexander (2) and Hannah (1). Alexander was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in February. He is a beautiful, bright, bubbly boy. Claudia is my 6 going on 16, girl with an atitood, Miss Hannah is a stubborn, adorable little diva.
I am trying to organize our wedding in October, (engaged to Matt- and yes, he is father to all my children!)when I get a spare moment between caring for children, campaigning for animal rights and, more recently, trying to write interesting articles :-)
