Multilingualism in my family (Michelle's story)

I am launching a new mini-series on my blog. Hopefully, once a week I will be featuring a family who uses more than one language.
Quite a few blogs are now featuring interviews from other multilingual families. I think it is a great idea and I wanted to do something similar but with a more focused angle. The literature often reports and focuses on ideal situations where one parent speaks one language. But there are many different types of multilingual families, all very successful.
In this series, I will be posting interviews with multilingual families. They answer questions relating to their multilingual family settings and how it works (or not) for them. Who speaks what, how and why?
