You might remember that early on during my time in Palo Alto, I decided I needed more friends. Desperate for connection and a break from my life flying solo with our girls, I popped a post up on a local facebook page. I sat. I waited. And who should be the first to get in touch? A woman called Charlotte. Little did I know that she’d become one of my closest friends. This is Charlotte’s story. New post. Link in bio.

Kathryn’s is the third in a series of four interviews: A Shared American Dream. In each blog, I’ll explore a single, central, cutting question: Is life in the US all it’s shaped up to be? Kathryn is American, originally from the East Coast. She’s the mum of two young boys; one in elementary (primary) school, and one at pre-school with our Coco. What did I see at first glance? A friendly, thoughtful, intelligent woman. Well, she’s all that… and so much more. But what didn’t I see? A glorious dark horse is our Kathryn, and I’m just so grateful to have her here in Silicon Valley. This is Kathryn’s story. New post. Link in bio.

Zoe’s is the second in a series of four interviews - A Shared American Dream - that I’ll publish on Big Little Lives over the coming month. In each blog, I’ll explore a single, central, cutting question: Is life in the US all it’s shaped up to be? There’s something super magical about meeting a new and wonderful friend overseas. Especially when that person has a scarily similar history to you, and especially when that person experiences the same relocation-related challenges, in real-time, to you and your family. Enter, Zoe. New post. Link in bio.

Mia’s is the first in a series of four interviews - A Shared American Dream - that I’ll publish on Big Little Lives over the coming month. In each blog, I’ll explore a single, central, cutting question: Is life in the US all it’s shaped up to be? We’ll meet four incredible women who've helped shape my American Dream. Some friendships take you around the world. Ours has. Other friendships do this and more, branching off into the lands of your craziest, wildest, most surreal travel dreams. Ours has done this too. New post. Link in bio.

In honour of her fifth trip around the sun, I’d like to offer up this reflection on how our little girl is growing and adapting to life in the USA as well as to life in general. It’s peppered with a selection of responses she gave to some questions I asked her on the eve of her fifth birthday, last month. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it. New post.

🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊 I don’t normally make New Year’s resolutions. But you know what? I’ve decided to set a couple of goals. Well, three to be exact. Call them resolutions, call them aims, call them ideas… but whatever you call them, don’t call them failures. Nope! I’ve got totally realistic and have set myself a few achievables for 2019.
