We have a Blog!

Well hello there!

This is our first little attempt at 'blogging'! Many of you have probably been doing this for years... but as you can see I am such a newbie! So it's basic central over here!

We have started this little adventure for a number of reasons. Mainly, Facebook doesn't allow competitions as freely as they once did. With all of the fine print a page can be easily shut down for not adhering. So I thought that was reason enough...just in case.

Secondly... when things get personal ( like i tried once before) people felt obliged to email me to say BACK OFF... sell clips not personal stories!! RUDE but true! Part of me does this to a degree but the other part feels you guys are like family... so how can i not share?? 

SO welcome to our little page of News updates and bits and pieces!!!

Kikki and I are super excited about our comp on Monday! We have been lucky to be supported by many organisations including JDRF, JDRF NSW, Australian Diabetic Living magazine, Diabetic Products New York, JDRF UK, JDRF USA. Thank you for your acceptance to help us x We will be posting final details on Monday so keep am eye out!

I must say ...  I am mildly anxious and have been feeling ill about that day a year ago.
The initial dialogue was along the lines of.... 
Dr..."Mum,Your daughter has diabetes,.... I know you are in shock" 
Me.... "she is what...I am in what.... I am sorry WTF..she has what? "... 
From here...I remember too much that i don't want to and hope Chiara never ever does.

So to find that little silver sequin lining with a pinkish tinge.... we have come such a very long way! Chiara is just yummy healthiness. Rolls on her wrists, chubby long legs and a tummy that would feed me forever! I love it xx Chiara knows so much more than we ever expected. I know so much more than i did. Together... we do this. Together, we will do it forever x

So why a competition? 
Well quite simply our little family would like to give a little something to you, our friends who support Chiara's 'present' and something to JDRF Walk for a Cure, our friends who are fighting for Chiara's future. In essence your contribution to our competition becomes sponsorship for our walk!

Why JDRF Walk for a Cure?
This year Chiara is old enough to understand what diabetes is. She is old enough for no day sleeps and old enough to want to play all day! So we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to begin our lifelong walks, together with our family and our dearest friends. {The loves of our lives and most important people in Chiaras life! }

So with all of that being said... MOnday is fas approaching and our competition will begin!
Can't wait to share!
Have agreat weekend everyone
Lots of love always
Paulie, Ren, Kikki and emmi the puppy xx
