Princesses Can Wear Kickers
A parenting blog with a difference - featuring extensive research, tried-and-tested advice and a little bit of humour. My blog focuses on dyslexia and internet safety as well as what it means to be an expat family.I’m a mummy, an expat and much to my disbelief (and denial) I’m 40!
Once upon a time I was a writer. However any creative flair I had disappeared the moment I had children and I haven’t written anything for eight years. As I turned 40, I found that I do actually have lots to say… so I’ve decided to put pen to paper and write about my life, the trials of parenthood and living as an expat family in Thailand.
