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.

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.

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.

You KNOW I’m a holiday girl. I’ve shouted about it many, many times before. 12 months down the track, I’m thanking the good glitter-clad Christmas gods that I’m now so comfy here that I - and my family - can settle into the totally American, OTT Christmas spirit. Are you ready? We’re going all out. 12 months in to our all-American Adventure, here’s my Top 6 Things making me feel all festive and holiday-like! New post. Link in bio.

American TV ads are bad. Really bad. I’m not talking just plain boring or lacking in substance either. You want to know the reasons why I’m hating on them so much? Easy. Read on. And take a trip down Australian TV ad memory lane at the same time ;) New post. Link in bio.
