I am a mother, writer and trainer. I have three lovely children, twins and a beautiful girl. We have had our share of health problems in the last couple of years and I use this space to share our experiences and keep my sanity. I write a lot about type1 diabetes and Hip Dysplasia and I try whenever possible to make my readers laugh.
