    Name: Cassie
    Age: 28 till Sunday.. Then its my last birthday ever.. I will stay 29!!
    Kids: Calvin (boy) 4 yrs old Teegan (girl) 4 yrs old
    Fave film: What Dreams May Come

    Hahaha, if only we could stay young-ish forever Cassie!
    Are your children twins? (prob a stupid question, sorry! lol)
    What Dreams May Come, no way?! I honestly am shocked because no-one I know has ever seen it.... I love the meaning behind it and makes me think of my sister who passed.

    xx

    Thats probably the most incredible movie EVER.. Ive seen it 1000x and sill cry.. And yes.. FOREVER YOUNG!! LOL..

    My children arent twins.. My son Calvin is mine from a previous marriage.. My daughter Teegan is actually my boyfriends daughter.. Teegan and Calvin are 19 days apart.. Both in March... Shes technically not mine, were not married, but we have been together since both our kids were 11 months old.. So I may have no birthed her but Ive raised her since she was 11 months old.. Shes mine!!

    That is absolutely crazy how that worked out huh? Cool for the kids I bet :) I would love twins though, that would be fun!
