meet the family

Hi, Im Nikki and this above is my loud, energetic, quirky and completely loveable family. I live in Brisbane Australia with my partner in crime Chris, 7yr old Taleah, 6yr old Emmi-Belle, 3 dogs and 6 chooks.  I'm a singer, fashion designer and co-owner of girls clothing label Lacey Lane, boys clothing label My Brother John and kids sportswear label Chasing Oso.  I work hard, play hard and love even harder. 

Over 4 years ago now our youngest daughter Emmi-Belle was diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder. When we fell into the world of ASD we had no idea what was in store for us or how much we were going to need to learn. To be honest I didn't even know what autism was before Em was diagnosed! 

This blog is based around our life as a family living with ASD and also our little Emmi-Belle's journey along the way. I hope we can at least give you a laugh and you enjoy some of our stories from our quirky and unpredictable life.

Please don't be shy, if you ever want to pick my brain about our experiences so far or even want to have a vent #IGetIt! feel free to drop me a line anytime through my contact page. 

Nik xx
