Introduction | My name is Marina (52yo) and I have been happily married to my husband, John (62yo), for 18 years. We have three sons ranging in ages from 11 to 17. We homeschooled for about 7 years but in 2011 we had to put our children into mainstream schooling due to health and family reasons. Apart from my husband and family, my passions are my Catholic faith, patchwork quilting, spinning, weaving, scrapbooking & I enjoy ballroom dancing (although not since I started having babies!). Because of our keen interest in optimum health and non-toxic products and foods we have a Neways business (http://www.neways.com.au/). |
Interests | Patchwork quilting, loom weaving, scrapbooking, ballroom dancing, obedience dog training, homeschooling and Auslan (sign language for the Deaf in Australia) |
Favorite Movies | Finding Neverland, Indiana Jones (all of them), Sabrina, Inn of the Sixth Happiness, The King and I, Dr Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, NCIS, How to Train Your Dragon #2 |
