IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY!
Today Me&MyGirl turns one! It’s hard to believe it was a year ago, that I launched this little blog. At the start, it was a place to share my adventures with Ava. Over time, I’ve slowly shared more about myself and my interests. Whilst I have taken my time to share more personal stories, these…
ONLY BUT NOT LONELY
Let me set the scene and give you a glimpse into my childhood. I was born in the early 70s to my Mum and Dad, who had married four years before I came along. I was the first and only child from their union. When I was almost three, they divorced. Back in those days,…

DIARY OF A FREE AGENT: WEEK 2

MY LITTLE CARD SHARK
he last few weeks we’ve been making much more of an effort to reduce Ava’s time in front of the TV and iPad. I wrote this post last week and then came across a post with the exact same focus on the Mother Down Under blog – snap! Last month we were invited to…
