As a family we bantered around various names & catch phrases for days, but at the end of the day we needed a name that we thought was catchy and kind of said a little about us – our little tribe of five – as a family. For the three small people in our family noodles never fail, they aren’t fussy eaters at all but given a choice of cuisine, anywhere, anytime you can guarantee they won’t say no to noodles! Lucky for us it doesn’t seem to matter where in the world or how far off the beaten track we go a bowl of noodles can always be found.
Then theres Dad, who at any given time is bound to be calling one of us “noodle” for silliness, clumsiness or just for his own amusement!
And anyone who knows Mum well knows she has about 4 notepads on the go at any one time with various lists of all descriptions and when she really needs one she can’t find one!
But the real reason for this journey – is to in someway enrich the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves, mostly children whose hopes and dreams rely simply upon the things we sometimes take for granted things like a basic education, a square meal, shelter or clean water, these children can’t begin to imagine the world we are privileged to live in but the smallest of gestures can mean the world to them – something maybe as simple as a Notepad!
