Who am I????

My photo
Jo
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
I am a mother to 2 beautiful children, wife to a wonderful man, who I love dearly and consider my best friend. Our life has been blessed with two children, Oliver and Alexandria. One born in Melbourne and the other in Sydney but they keep us on our toes and we adore them. Both hubby and I work full time, enjoy the challenges and joys of being parents, cooking is not only a necessity but a hobby for us both especially experimenting with new flavours and entertaining. Our life is hectic - we are always busy doing something either just us or with friends BUT that is the way we like it!!
