In this brand new series, cameras follow the lives of Stacey and Joe, their children, four ducks and two dogs. With exclusive behind the scenes access, viewers are given a refreshing, honest take on their modern blended family. Raising their ‘pickles', Zach, Leighton, Rex, Rose and Belle who are aged between 16 and one, is no mean feat especially combined with busy work schedules and ambitious passion projects like building a two acre fishing lake.
