I’m going to keep this bit relatively short as you can read about us in more detail here, where I describe who we are and what we are doing., but in short we are an unconventional family of five consisting of three adults and two children.
We are a Disney loving family, in touch with our LGBT+ side, oh and our lives are somewhat dominated by autism, both in positive and more challenging ways.
I am Kelly, full time Momma, part time crochet pattern designer and with my ‘remaining time’ writer of said blogs. I am disabled, exhausted from my dear children and mostly survive on coffee and Disney world planning.
Next up is Richard, full time worker in computer engineering, therefore by default deals with all the techie stuff related to this blog and Dadda to the two very active children mentioned above. He also spends his time exhausted and survives on caffeine but also adds a chocolate addiction to the mix.
Closely followed by Lela (real name Michelle, no-one calls her this), full time early years educator (posh, official name for nursery nurse), auntie and expert baker. Helps keep the house running, the children alive and me sane. Joins us in our coffee addiction (yes we admit it) and perpetual exhaustion.
Introducing our two reasons for the coffee addiction, Samantha and Riley, Our two amazing balls of energy. Both babies are fun loving, disney obsessed, never resting and would put the duracell bunny to shame but i’m almost certain we wouldn’t change them…much.
So that’s us, we go to Disney world whenever we can, somewhere between once a year and every two. We are trying to drag ourselves out of the house and engage with the outside world a little more, having become more than a little reclusive the last few years and we are hoping if we are blogging about it, it will help us to be a little more motivated to get out there and keep going out there.
We are hoping to post a blog once a week, no set day as we never know what drama our life is going to bring or what new ‘adventure’ the kids are going to take us on *cough, A&E, cough*. Some weeks there maybe more, if I have felt the need to get the crazy out, some weeks less if the week has been a little more drama filled but we hope you will follow along with us. We will always aim to be as true as we can with our life and experiences, in the hope you could pick up something that could work for you and your family or just know you are not alone (something I have felt a lot in my own mothering journey). However we will aim to do this whilst respecting the privacy and needs of our family members, so we won’t ever show the children in an autistic meltdown or in times of vulnerability.
We hope you join us whilst we live it true. XX
