1.) Tell me a bit about yourself and your family?
Hi, I'm Jo. I live with my husband, our three young sons and various pets.
2.) Where do you live?
We live in Warwickshire, midway between the countryside and town life which is just perfect for us and our young family.
3.) What is your favourite thing to do as a family where you live?
Go for long walks. I think anything can be put right by fresh air and mud! We try to go somewhere new every weekend.
4.) If you could go anywhere where would you?
Where we live at the moment is pretty perfect for now, but I would love to move to New Zealand one day. We have family over there and I think the boys would love it.
5.) Did you grow up close to where you live now and what are your favourite childhood memories?
Yes! Although it wasn't intentional to return and live so close by. My favourite childhood memories are running across the fields behind our house with my sisters. That's perhaps why I enjoy getting out and about with my boys so much.
6.) Have you got any exciting family plans for the year ahead?
We are hoping to take our boys on their first foreign holiday. They want to go anywhere that involves travelling on an aeroplane.
7.) What is your favourite thing about family life?
My favourite thing is when we are all together having fun. Our boys have recently got into playing board games so when we are not out for walks we often have one game or another spread across the table. I love sharing these moments with them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions, Jo it sounds like you are really settled where you live. I hope you get to take the boys abroad this year, we are going on holiday this year and it is my little twos first time on a plane and they are so excited.
