Family Life

All families differ. Some are small, some extended, some blended.

For young children it can be very difficult to conceptualise where they fit in and how we are all connected. And as an adult, it’s probably not that often that you think about your family history, let alone chat to your children about it.

You might be lucky enough to have had a keen amateur genealogist somewhere in the family who lovingly compiled a family history and had it published into a book. Although I’d wager it spends most of its time sitting in the bookshelf gathering dust.

At Caro & Co we celebrate family in whatever form it might take.
