Aussie Bites!

January 25, 2012 by 3 ladybugs

We are 2 very Type A parents who have learned to take the bumps and bruises of our life as they come. We have found that the more we plan our life, the more it becomes unplanned. From having severely premature triplets, to loosing them; to having a miscarriage, to having an uneventful pregnancy; purchasing a house; job changes; unemployment; purchasing a car; adding a dog to the mix; cancer diagnosis and all the stuff in between. Our life has happened when we were planning on something else.

I hope you will stay and watch as we plan our life that often becomes unplanned, yet just as rewarding. If you have any questions, post a comment to the blog and I will answer them with my next post.

Thank you,
